### "Egnyte for Secure Online Storage"

December 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

Egnyte does a great job for online secure document storage. With tight hierarchal permissions, it's a great option for remote companies who don't have local offices to secure sensitive documents. It's easy to set up and manage.

Cons

On occasion I find it can be slow to load.

Cons

Mobile view can be modified and meet the expectations.

### "Egnyte: great cloud based file storage solution "

December 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

First thing I like about Egnyte is the simplicity and ease of use. It's very easy to use straight out of the box and doesn't take a lot of time to get used to. I also like how easy it is to share files externally with clients by simply sending them a link. Another thing is the fast syncing. It's so fast that files i upload into a shared folder becomes available to others in seconds.

Cons

I think the user interface needs to be updated as it looks rather dated. Another issue is that support seems to be sluggish the few times I've contacted them.

### "Egnyte holds a ton of documents"

May 11, 2021

4.0

Used it to store and share documents throughout a team

Pros

I like Egnyte because it's easy to access previous versions of documents and also easy to share documents within and outside our network

Cons

Some features are much easier to use on the browser version than the finder version of the software. It is also difficult to reorganize large numbers of files

April 20, 2018

4.0

We use it as our only file server. We dont have to manage any local file servers thanks to this system.

Pros

Alot of nice features, integrates directly with windows and Mac. Permission structure is easy to use.

Cons

No support for Push groups using sso. I have also occasionally experienced sync problems with files.

### "Still missing key features but overall pretty good"

August 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

Customer support answers in a timely manner, features keep getting added, feature request that you asked for will get added in the future sometimes, syncing local NAS drives to the cloud, versioning of files and restoring of files.

Cons

Sometimes features that you request will get ignored, navigating through the website is slow, common sense features like deleting multiple links are left out. The trash bin is very slow response, deleting shared links is very tedious, user run reports are out dated.

### "Cloud solution with top notch sharing options"

April 16, 2019

5.0

I'm very happy with Egnyte. Once I got the touch on how to use it I have found it easy. The desktop version works really well and sync my files automatically.

Pros

Egnyte is a super cloud solution that have a nice folder structure with a really manageable permission scheme. It's easy to share files - internally and externally. I really appreciate the option for changing url when sharing files. I can also backtrack all my shared links and I can see who have accessed it when. The applications also do the job.

Cons

The application have required manually installed updates. I think they might have solved this now. The reports option should maybe have some more options and flexibility.

### "Organizzazione file per una nuova era"

December 5, 2022

4.0

Pros

Ottimo software per organizzare i file e molto innovativo, inoltre è usabile su molte piattaforme e non si perdono i lavori a cui si sta lavorando.

Cons

A volte è difficile fare entrare un utente in un database e dargli l'autorizzazione, e a volte gli utenti hanno difficoltà a gestire autorizzazioni sui propri siti web.

### "We use Egnyte within our Salesforce org. It has been great from the start."

March 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Being able to have Egnyte integrate with Salesforce is a must. The software gives us a documents for each of our records and was pretty easy to setup. Love it!

Cons

With us using Egnyte wishing Salesforce, we never use their web interface (which is still great) and we currently don't have a way to search files in individual records. This feature would be a great and helpful addition.

### "Sturdy for Mid Size companies"

August 25, 2019

Pros

Better than Dropbox, more secure than Box.

Cons

The mobile app sometimes experienced glitches and sync issues. And the desktop app doesn’t have a good offline mode in case of lost connectivity.

### "Egnyte Review"

February 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

This product allows my clients to send me large files with great ease. I prefer its functionality to SharePoint or Dropbox because its interface is more user-friendly and the ability to download multiple folders to a single zip folder is very convenient.

Cons

My clients have encountered a few problems on the uploading end that have required uploading an item more than once.

### "Egnyte Database"

January 20, 2020

5.0

Happy with the service they provide. The software is simple and efficient.

Pros

Really happy using this product. It is our company's primary data repository and offers us an efficient way to manage our data. As a user, setup was incredibly easy with just a link to follow and within a minute I had a z-drive set up and and it was just like accessing a normal folder on my hard drive. Happy to be using it. It is simple and efficient, yet powerful.

Cons

Didnt work so well over the web as there appears to be default privilege restrictions in editing/changing folders but once a z drive is set up it was fine

### "Easy and Efficient"

September 25, 2019

5.0

Overall the experience has been great. Has improved workplace efficiency and collaboration tremendously.

Pros

Remote access to work server files make working on the go a breeze. I can access anything from anywhere so that I can have all the information I need even when on client meetings.

Cons

It can get a little getting used to at first. You no longer will store files on your desktop or folders but rather within a folder in Egnyte.

### "Easy Access Anywhere"

January 6, 2021

5.0

There are still a lot of features I haven't event started to use, so it is really exciting what possibilities are available.

Pros

I love that I can access documents I need anywhere -- we moved from an onsite server that required a VPN to access off-site and which was slow and not very useful, to Egnyte which allows my to grab documents from my phone and is so much more efficient.

Cons

Sorting documents is a bit lacking sometimes when I want to simply search for the most recent document of any file time within a number of subfolders. There is no real good way to do this at this time.

### "Great document manager"

March 28, 2019

5.0

Very, very easy to organize and manage file, doc, pdfs. super easy to move them around and download. I really like how you can send invites for others to view a document.

Pros

I love that is can make multiple folders and put permission on it. I like how i can construct a filing system that meet the job needs/criteria and able to keep it a standard.

Cons

the favorite star, it never seems to work for me to go to a shortcut folder fast

### "Useful tool for storing and sharing documents"

April 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software can hold multiple folders and documents. Different security levels can be set up to restrict or grant access. Very useful tool for sharing in multiple work locations.

Cons

If one person accidentally moves a root folder. It could take a lot of effort to retrieve and cause significant pause as people will not able to access during the retrieval process.

### "Cloud based storage"

January 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very easy to use with great tech support. This software gives you the ability to store all documentation in the cloud which can be accessed by employees from anywhere.

Cons

I would like the cost to be a little less, but other than that nothing really negative to say at this point.

### "Ease of use with powerful capabilities where needed"

September 12, 2019

5.0

Overall, Egnyte is great, it's made it simple for me to access and store files in the cloud, but also integrate into automated workflows via command line tools.

Pros

Egnyte makes it easy to store files in a cloud based storage area, but has additional enterprise level capabilities that make it possible to integrate into powerful workflows.

Cons

Really the only thing I dislike about Egnyte is that there are no data sovereignty capabilities as far as I can tell. You can't specify where data is stored geographically.

### "Egnyte was a game changer for our company!"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Being able to collaborate and share our files all in one place will save our team and company countless hour / even days from sending and searching for files like we used to do in the past. Time is money!!

Pros

Working with large teams and large files, Egnyte was the thing we were always missing. The ability to access and control collaborative files across our team has streamlined our entire process. The ability to integrate numerous app already in place in our company is what put this over the top.

Cons

It may be very pricey for the average team, but at the enterprise level, it is highly recommended.

### "Awesome once you learn it!"

February 22, 2017

5.0

I use Egnyte on a day to day basis, and it is a great package for cloud storage of all files, and for collaboration between teams. The reports are awesome, you can pull up exact details about your users and what files they have accessed and when. However, you need an Admin that knows the ins and outs in order to take full advantage of all the great features. Overall it is a great software with a very helpful customer service, also their training videos are awesome and very helpful.

Pros

Put together well, lots of options

Cons

The learning curve is steep

### "Make Nonprofit Board Volunteers Happy!"

April 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

This product provides the easiest way to share and collaborate on documents for remote volunteer bird members. It’s intuitively set up like a normal server, but allows for real time live collaboration in documents.

Cons

I would not change a thing on this software solution!

### "Egnyte has been a great asset to our overall document storage strategy."

February 20, 2018

5.0

Easy management of document storage for our company.

Pros

This software is easy to use. Users were trained quickly. Has great application integrations with many top level software companies.

Cons

Very little, which is a great think. The link sharing is not quite as clear and clean I would like it to be. Can be confusing for most users or they could share public links easily on accident.

### "Egnyte is very good, but it could be great."

January 22, 2021

4.0

No complaints here. They've always been responsive, courteous, and professional.

Pros

Ease of setup. Ease of use. Quasi-Explorer-type interface feels familiar to clients.

Cons

The permissions need more granularity. Specifically, there needs to be a way to create virtual collections of documents, and then selectively share those virtual buckets with clients.
