Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It is a good storage solution."
"It is scalable and stable."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"It is very stable."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
