A great solution for uploading files with good protection and security features
We use this solution to upload our files according to our activities for the project. All the files we create are uploaded or saved on Egnyte Connect to protect and securitize them Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files. All files are secure and available. If we are connected, we can…

Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use
I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a good storage solution."
"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."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners."
"Low maintenance solution."
"It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document."
"I like that you can easily create folders and sort things by sliding them in and out. I like the sliding option. It's quite nice."
"The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good. It's very useful and critical for us to communicate with each other nowadays. They integrate well with other Google solutions, such as Google Documents and Google Spreadsheet."
"It is very convenient and easy to access."
"It's easy to access from an Android device and can access things like cyber security restrictions on USB drives, file size, and so on. Google Drive will be an option."
"I can store data and share it with people."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Wasabi is better for scalability aspects because it is limitless."
"The tool's AI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license."
"I would like to see larger storage capabilities."
"If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available."
"The product must be more secure."
"When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization."
"It should have more features similar to Office 365. To improvise more, they should compare their features with Office 365."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As far as I understand, licenses are associated with the Egnyte platform. There aren't any licenses associated with Egnyte Connect."
"I do not have experience with the pricing of this solution."
"You need to pay an extra cost to use more space."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution."
"The program is very affordable."
"The price could be better."
"Google Drive is free."
"In the free subscription, Google Drive Enterprise provides limited integrations. You get basic integration features, but for more extensive API usage, a paid subscription is required. Even with the paid subscription, there are limits on free API usage, such as a certain number of calls per day or month."
"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."
