Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."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."
"It is scalable and stable."
"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's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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."
"It is a good storage solution."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"The search feature is valuable."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"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."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"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."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
