Great Cloud Hosting **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt L. | r, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Egnyte?** Ease of use and features. Simple and intuitive navigation and layout. The Phone App is great to use. **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** No computer application specifically for this product. **What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** File tree hosting in the cloud. Ease of use, especially on mobile. ### 2. Great System, Easy to Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sara E S. | Payroll Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Egnyte?** Egnyte is very easy to use, both uploading your documents and retrieving the documents that were uploaded. It is also very easy to explain how to use it. It's easy to make folders for those that use Egnyte and to move the documents that they receive to their folders until they are ready to view them or they can keep them there as long as they need. I created many folders based on the type of document I received so it's easy to sort through them and I also created a done folder for when I'm done with a document I can just move it to that folder for verification later. If you accidentally delete a document before you are done with it, you can retrieve it from the trash by pressing restore and it will go back to the folder where it was before you deleted it. **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** I like almost everything about Egnyte, I can log in easily to my area, it's user friendly and everyone that has used it seems to like it. I also like that if you delete a document that you end up needing later you can go to your trash and restore that document. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement for me is when someone uploads the same document for themselves and names it the exact same name, I wish it would automatically combined them into one folder and name them (1), (2), etc. instead of asking if you want to merge them. When you press merge one of the documents does go away and I haven't figured out how to get those ones back. **Recommendations to others considering Egnyte:** If you're looking for a simple program to accept secure documents from your clients, staff or students this one would be my first choice since it's easy to use for both the person uploading the documents as well as the person receiving the documents. **What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** During the Covid shutdown while we could not be on campus and quarantined at home we could not have face to face contact with our students and staff to collect their employment paperwork or tax documents for our international students. Even though we are partial opened back up we still choose to use Egnyte to make everyone more comfortable and not have to worry about being face to face with more people than they need to be so there is less exposure to Covid. Egnyte does a great job in providing everyone with a safe and secure place for them to upload their personal documents and have that piece of mind that we received their documents and they don't have to worry that no one else can access them or see what they provided for documents. ### 3. Effective Cloud collaboration Software **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arshad H. | IT Supervisor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Egnyte?** The Performance of the Application, even in low latency, is speedy and possesses valuable features for ransomware protection. **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** The solution is slightly expensive, and the price not only depends on users but also on the storage used. All together makes this solution expensive. **Recommendations to others considering Egnyte:** Egnyte is a beneficial cloud-based file collaboration solution. **What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Egnyle as a centralized solution for managing all the documents related to projects and head office. ### 4.

It allows users to create an Egnyte folder that can be accessed through Windows explorer **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** Although I like the desktop sync application, the first time syncing everything is a pain in the butt. The files take forever to finish syncing, and users are unable to prioritize certain folders to sync first. **What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like being able to use it across multiple devices. ### 34. Engyte is AWESOME **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Egnyte?** It is very easy to use and simple to understand. You don't have to be a technology expert to learn how the program works. A lot of point and click makes it easy for end users to understand. **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** There is not much I dislike. Sometimes passwords can be a pain but they are necessary at times. Some recipients are unable to receive shared files because of their own security or have their own file sharing software that files will need to be uploaded to. **Recommendations to others considering Egnyte:** Look no further, it is easy to learn and share. I love it! **What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simple sharing of legal files with attorney's and adjusters. I don't have to send out a lot of jump drives to share files or numerous emails to adjusters will files attached. It also helps me keep track of the files I have sent on a particular case. ### 35. Very easy to use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Egnyte?** It's very easy to upload files and work collaboratively. **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** It would be nice if I could open files in excel from the web browser, like an "open with excel" option. The search function rarely finds what I need it to, but I'm probably not searching the right way. **What problems is Egnyte solving and how is that benefiting you?** All our files can be organized nicely and accessible from anywhere. ### 36. Sophisticated enterprise scale cloud based file storage **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Egnyte?** Runs in the background syncing your files to the cloud.

And, it has great connectivity with MS365 apps and Teams! A huge plus for our organization. I think this is a great solution for many businesses, regardless of size. Administration is easier than many products or having to maintain physical servers. For a company that can't afford to have teams of administrators, developers, and programmers to manage their data, this is the perfect solution. **What do you dislike about Egnyte?** Although the cost isn't terrible, it could always be less expensive. In addition, some of the administrative features are difficult to use, don't allow enough granular policies and it can be a little confusing at times for some users to share externally using the links and the processes in Egnyte. The admin of folders and inheritance of permissions and lack of being able to break inheritance in some cases makes it difficult at times. I think this is a great solution for many businesses, regardless of size. Administration is easier than many products or having to maintain physical servers. For a company that can't afford to have teams of administrators, developers, and programmers to manage their data, this is the perfect solution. **Recommendations to others considering Egnyte:** I think this is a great solution for many businesses, regardless of size.
