Egnyte Valuable Features

GG
Chief Operating Officer at Quarem

Egnyte Connect's low price is its most valuable feature for us. Our company does not house any servers in our infrastructure. Everything we do is cloud based, which is why we went out and looked for a service like Egnyte Connect. We found it a lot more user friendly than Dropbox, for example. We also felt that its security was a little bit stronger than what Dropbox offered.

The best feature is the co-authoring. Before, in Egnyte desktop sync, it didn't have the capability to co-author. Now, since you have Egnyte Connect on your machine, it gives you the capability to co-author on a single file at the same time.

Now that the Egnyte vendor upgraded the version and they introduced the Egnyte Connect, there are a lot of features that they added, including co-authoring. You can also access those files and folders using your mobile device, which is good. Some of our advisors don't have a desktop or laptop, so they are just accessing their files via mobile devices or tablets. 

Before, in Egnyte desktop sync, you could install it on a certain server. Now, with Egnyte Connect, you can install the application on a particular server, and then you can save your file from there.

The initial setup is easy.

It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint. 

The search functionality has been good.

The user interface is great.

Support is great. 

In Egnyte Connect, you can add more domains if you want to access files and folders.

The sharing ability is great.

The licensing has been very good overall. 

It's got a lot of bells and whistles. 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 much more user-friendly than its competitors.

The solution is stable and offers good performance. 

It's a scalable product.

Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files. All files are secure and available. If we are connected, we can access our files on Egnyte Connect, and any authorized person can access and download the files.

I did appreciate that it was somewhat convenient to switch between connections. We had a test Egnyte instance, and it was pretty simple to switch over to that one, get access to documents there, and make sure those connections were still consistent.

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.
