Manager, Technology & Integration at GlobalMac IT
Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

Fantastic for small businesses; the customer feedback has been great
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. For us, security was front and center. Usability was also important and took second place. Next, we asked "Is it simple and easy for anyone to quickly learn how to use it?" Egnyte Connect checked that box. Third place for us was price. We liked the fact that they charge on a monthly basis so there is not an annualized upfront fee that we pay.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With us being an all Mac managed service provider, we find that the integration Box - Intelligent Content Management has with Finder is really good with the syncing, and it is probably one of the better file-sharing solutions when it comes to that, which is the big reason why we suggest it out to our clients."
"We use Box for collaboration with files or folders, and our use is mostly for collaboration, especially on the documentation."
"Most of the time, they are running a free 50GB for life promotion, which is a pretty good deal."
"It is a very user-friendly product; the solution is stable and, for me, it's very easy to navigate whether I'm in my email, Smartsheet, or SLAM so that I can get my documents, make changes, and load them back without any complexity."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the set of security options that can be set when sharing files with a group."
"We can provide controlled access to documents using the product."
"It is really easy to load files to and from this solution."
"Box's automation capabilities have helped optimize my business processes by saving time for sharing or sending files between the team."
"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."
"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 centralizes the documentation in one area."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files, as all files are secure and available, and any authorized person can access and download the files from anywhere with an internet connection."
"It is a good storage solution."
"If you're looking for a solid cloud DFS solution, I would highly recommend Egnyte."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"It is scalable and stable."
 

Cons

"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"Collaborative editing was challenging if multiple people were in a document at once."
"Integrations, the more integrations the better. Office + Outlook are great but we need more like it."
"The price must be lowered."
"The Search functionality needs to be more robust and behave like Google Search."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"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."
"With Egnyte Connect, you cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error, which needs improvement."
"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."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more you dig, the deeper the level of tools, and the more expensive it becomes."
"A business account has a minimum of three users. If you are more than three people in-house, go for the Enterprise version. All the external users are free of charge."
"Box needs to improve with their pricing in terms of licensing costs."
"Better sign a full year's contract to get a discount."
"I believe Box is cheaper than SharePoint."
"We are using the free version of the solution. There is a free version and monthly and yearly subscriptions available."
"They are very price competitive when pushed. Initially, they come out with a standard list price, but they are willing to be very competitive. The Box price was pretty much equal to or lower than the Citrix price, and Box has more features."
"It is expensive per head, as you need the enterprise license to get full security and tools. So negotiate a discount!"
"I do not have experience with the pricing of this solution."
"As far as I understand, licenses are associated with the Egnyte platform. There aren't any licenses associated with Egnyte Connect."
