Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Citrix has a very good file auditing features and security features.""The solution would query the Active Directory, and if new accounts were identified, Citrix ShareFile would add them automatically.""ShareFile gives you all of the features of cloud providers, but in an on-premises solution.""Easy to manage and fully secure.""The solution is scalable.""This provides us with a secure way of sending tax returns without having to use passwords.""It's user-friendly for end users.""The Enterprise Dropbox solution is highly integrated with Microsoft's Office 365 and Azure products."

"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files.""It is a good storage solution.""It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint.""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.""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 is scalable and stable."

Cons
"There are sometimes scalability issues after updates.""My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved.""DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices.""The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application.""Everything they have should be integrated into one item.""The user interface is not very intuitive.""They should integrate the solution with more email services.""Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."

More Citrix ShareFile Cons →

"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.""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.""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."

    Overview
    ShareFile is a secure file sync and sharing service that meets the mobility and collaboration needs of users and the security requirements of businesses.
    Egnyte is a hybrid cloud storage service that provides online file sharing, file transfer, and cross-office syncing solutions to small, medium, and large businesses. The company specializes in providing businesses with customizable solutions using both cloud-only technology and local storage. Businesses using Egnyte's services benefit from increased efficiency, reliable security, and removal of communication barriers. Egnyte, like many of its competitors, features customizable services that help businesses stay organized and productive while maintaining a high level of security. In order to provide uninterrupted levels of security, Egnyte only allows access to files though certificate-based trusted devices via a two-step login verification process. Egnyte offers businesses control over its services with the ability to monitor use and access information through a single, user-friendly control panel, which is accessible in any web browser. The Egnyte platform is able to integrate with local storage, providing businesses with the option of using cloud-based storage or local devices, depending upon security preferences. Companies with satellite locations or remote employees benefit from Egnyte's flexible deployment models, scalable file sharing, and high speed collaboration capabilities regardless of changes in bandwidth limitations across locations. Additionally, Egnyte's platform makes use of hybrid storage synchronization, which reduces bandwidth saturation and increases performance. Egnyte appeals to growing businesses because it offers customizable services and flexible file sharing solutions. Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, with over 275 agents and employees spread throughout the Atlanta metro area, was struggling to increase the efficiency of staff communication. After working with Egnyte, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty was able to develop a hybrid file sharing infrastructure that allowed for the syncing and sharing of large files, protection of confidential information, and a reduction in bandwidth use.
