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."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"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 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."
"I think it’s probably the best self-hosted file sync tool on the market."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Even with fast disks, it still takes a fair bit of time to write most schema changes to multi-GB tables."
