Egnyte Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Egnyte is that it keeps everything in one place and makes it easy to stay organized without slowing us down. It’s simple to find the right file fast, share it securely with the right people, and control access so we’re not worried about the wrong version floating around or sensitive documents ending up in the wrong hands. The permissions and link-sharing options give a lot of peace of mind, and it works smoothly whether I’m in the office or remote. Overall, it helps us stay consistent, compliant, and efficient.

What I dislike about Egnyte is that it can feel a little clunky and slower than it should at times—especially when you’re dealing with large folders, lots of files, or syncing. The desktop sync can be confusing (and it’s not always obvious what’s truly synced vs. just online), which can create version issues if someone isn’t careful. Search is usually decent, but it’s not always consistent, and permissions can get complicated to manage as the folder structure grows. It’s a solid system overall, but it could be more intuitive and faster day-to-day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

how fast the whole system is, being able to exit out of a file and someone open it straight away.

how easy the dashboard is to navigate through and search for specific items that match. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to see exactly what each person has open makes things harder than they need to be, because I end up having to ask my teammates instead of just checking it myself.

the AI, it is a little hard to understand ow to "train" it as its not specifically clear what each tool in the "Knowledge basis" does differently unless you trial and error everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The granular but easy to use sharing and permission controls give me confidence when collaborating with clients or external partners and eliminate any worries about sensitive files being downloaded or forwarded unintentionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One small thing to note is that the add-on pricing can feel a bit nuanced at first with separate modules. However, once you map out what your team actually needs, it becomes clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Egnyte for secure file sharing and team collaboration, and I appreciate how it helps me securely store, share, and manage files with teams all in one spot. I really like Egnyte's ease of use, robust security, and seamless collaboration features. I love how Egnyte integrates with other tools like Salesforce, Office, and Google Workspace, making my workflow smoother. The Salesforce integration is particularly beneficial, allowing me to access and share Egnyte files directly within Salesforce, keeping my documents in sync. The initial setup was pretty smooth with Egnyte's guided onboarding and solid support, enabling my team to get up and running quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly most users like me mention the mobile app could use a UI refresh. Also, advanced features can be a bit of a learning curve. Mobile app navigation could be more intuitive. Advanced features like custom metadata and permissions settings can get tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is able to run synchronized with Windows and Microsoft office programs, once linked or logged in, the files get updated seamlessly. Multiple users are able to edit and view, there is no issue with version control. It is 21CFR, everything is stamped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the option to use it within a web browser environment least intuitive. For tablet type of hardware users this may be most applicable, but if you have a full computer, it is not efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Egnyte is very easy to use and intuitive. It's great that my whole organization is on it, allowing us to share things very quickly with people and organize files in a way that others can easily find them. It's a very effective and secure way to share files of all sizes, especially since I work with a lot of video files and need a lot of storage. I also appreciate that I can manage who has access to files, enhancing security. Transferring large files without taking up too much desktop storage is very helpful for me as well. Overall, it's just a great platform to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the desktop version of Egnyte doesn't sync with my cloud version. There seem to be a few issues installing it sometimes and keeping it updated. That would be something that could be improved. But potentially, that might be an issue at our end with our system, so maybe not something to hold Egnyte against.

Egnyte has truly been a lifesaver for our company. Although we have always used a VPN, accessing it from different locations was often a challenge. Since switching to Egnyte, that issue has been completely resolved. After the pandemic, most of us have been working remotely, either from home or while traveling, with team members based in Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, and Oklahoma, as well as our sales and marketing staff on the road across the country. No matter where we are, we can always rely on having secure, consistent, and dependable access to our files. We have also made heavy use of the ability for outside users to send us large files seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since switching to Egnyte, the only problem we've encountered is that, from time to time, we need to reinstall the desktop client. Occasionally, it loses its connection to Egnyte, and the only solution seems to be reinstalling the software. Thankfully, this issue only arises once or twice a year.
