Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is scalable and stable."
"You can really do a lot of cool things with it in terms of being able to co-author and share documents with users that are not in your organization."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"It is a good storage solution."
"From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software. I can't speak to how Egnyte Connect would operate in a midsize company or even a large Fortune 500 company, but, from our perspective as a small business, it is fantastic."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"It provides a way to granularly choose which folders from the internet you want to sync to your computer. It is really useful for people who are working on teams that are working with files that are frequently changing. You can go in and pretty clearly see what changes have been made. It gives you a constant feed."
"Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file."
"The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure."
"The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me."
"I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am."
"Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot."
"For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device."
"It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product."
"Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"It would be nice to see an integration of using an active directory to validate and authenticate users on our end as well as on the client user's end."
"If this solution had a better ability to search, that would be helpful. In addition, if there was an ability to collaborate, that would also be a benefit. At present, the vision control is had because if someone gets out of it, it locks. And, whoever saves last overrides everyone's work."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"The issue of my authorization token expiring pretty quickly was pretty annoying. On pretty much every update, it would expire on every computer. On every computer update, at the first opportunity, it would expire. When my computer got updated or the authorization got cut, my saved drives would get messed up. So, I had to reconnect them all. I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect. It would be a big improvement if there was a cached system so that when it loses connection, it can still save what kind of connections were set up, and when it reconnects, it repopulates all those. I don't know if that's even possible, but that's the feature I'd want."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"There is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. Some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced so this product is a more complete replacement for Excel."
"A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with."
"Considering things like speech recognition or enhanced benefits in Google Cloud could be worth exploring for a better experience."
"The product’s document management and automation features are very limited."
"I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments."
"I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience."
"It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues."
"Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."
