	Dropbox	Egnyte
Considered Both Products	Dropbox Aaron Henderson Marketing Specialist in Marketing at MK Marketing (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Dropbox Dropbox gives us more control over what we are trying to accomplish, and that is key. Egnyte wanted such a large outline of capital to get their system up, and then we would become married to just their system. I didn't like that because then we were at their mercy, and with … Incentivized Helpful? Juan Fernandez Castellano Recruiter in Human Resources at Supercell (Information Technology & Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose Dropbox Dropbox is much more user-friendly than Egnyte and has more options than Google Drive. Also the sync through the Mac app works better on Dropbox. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Egnyte was quite similar but desktop native, which made onboarding a bit easier and more natural for non-tech native folks and folks who are used to the typical file system structure. That said, Dropbox with the desktop functionality is a good hybrid between Egnyte and Google … Incentivized Helpful? Olivia Crellin Associate General Counsel, M&A and Securities in Legal at eXp World Holdings (Law Practice, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Dropbox Dropbox is a great low-cost, wholesale cloud DMS solution. That being said, its security features and search-ability are not as sophisticated as Datasite or Egnyte, which to be fair, are much more costly solutions. As compared to its peers in terms of cost, Dropbox is the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox We actually use both platforms and are currently migrating over to Egnyte as our sole system. Egnyte is superior in its [HIPAA] Compliance, its GDPR options, and its overall security. Dropbox is a great application for smaller companies, but I feel like we outgrew the … Incentivized Helpful? Gayle Goodman Lynch, MBA, ABC Owner in Corporate at CoEqual (Professional Training & Coaching, 1-10 employees) Chose Dropbox I think Dropbox is the best among these Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox I have only had to download files from these other platforms but haven't had a chance to use them. My organization chose Dropbox and I am neither for or against it. Seems to be working for what it is. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Dropbox customer support and availability worldwide is better, it is more compatible with other programs and browsers and it rarely stops working. There is plenty of space on Dropbox that you can use from Dropbox and it takes lesser steps to upload or download or even to share … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox I think that in terms of familiarity with the platform and interface, Dropbox is probably top of mind. However, I do like Google Docs the most, since you are able to edit in real-time, and it makes note of the version changes. Sharepoint has this capability as well, however, I … Incentivized Helpful?	Egnyte Akash Jain Senior Engineer in Engineering at Pinnacle Infotech (Construction, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte is already up to Dropbox because of its features and its interface we can easily understand Egnyte but Dropbox is very hard to understand security is more in Egnyte as compare with Dropbox so I think Egnyte is heading in the right direction and Egnyte team is doing a … Incentivized Helpful? Katie Stevens Director, Business Operations in Corporate at C3 Research Associates (Biotechnology, 11-50 employees) Chose Egnyte We also looked at Dropbox and a few others, and we found that Egnyte was (at the time) the ONLY HIPPA and Part 11 compliant software on the market. We loved the security features in Egnyte and felt safe trusting our data to such an innovative and reputable company. We are … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Egnyte I think that Egnyte is a good tool especially when you need to share files within the same company or organization. I think that the layout is much better and updated than Dropbox. The downside to Egnyte is that you cannot edit files within the tool like you can do for Google, … Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Wells, MPA Director of Volunteer Engagement at Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte's storage capacity was well beyond the capabilities of Dropbox at our budget. Plus, at the time (nearly five years ago) Dropbox was a little quirky when it came to uploading files. OneDrive was a good fit but it presented challenges when working with users that did not … Incentivized Helpful? Chelsey Clayton Director of Operations and Marketing in Marketing at Compass Advisors (Financial Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte is more user-friendly than both Dropbox and Box, and has more functionality to match. The user management is simple with Egnyte, and the storage limits are enormous - we'll never be concerned about running out of room. Egnyte's device management is also an essential part … Incentivized Helpful? Jeffrey Smith Director of Marketing in Marketing at Abacus Life Settlements, LLC (Financial Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte has significantly more structure out of the box than Google Drive or Dropbox. While Google Drive is much cheaper, and Dropbox has more potential in the right hands; Egnyte just works immediately in an enterprise situation. There are other enterprise level solutions, like … Incentivized Helpful? Shawn Petrunak Pricing Analyst in Finance and Accounting at Abacus Life Settlements, LLC. (Insurance, 11-50 employees) Chose Egnyte Dropbox is just the main competitor of Egnyte that we have used and have ample experience with, among many others. Egnyte however blows Dropbox out of the water in ease of use, style, functionality, and cyber security from my experience. Egnyte has been nothing short of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Egnyte The biggest competitor and leader in this space is Dropbox. Egnyte beats Dropbox when it comes to ease of use and its inviting interface. However, Dropbox has the obvious advantage in reliability, which comes with the scale of that company. Ultimately, the security of Egnyte … Incentivized Helpful? Ricky Skawinski, Jr. Loss Prevention Analyst in Finance and Accounting at FanDuel Inc. (Sports, 201-500 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte blows away any competition. I've used Dropbox and other competitors, but Egnyte's interface and ease of use is what makes it superior. I would recommend it over any of the other guys out there because that's what my company uses and that's what works for us. Incentivized Helpful? Will Kosnik IT Manager in Information Technology at Colasanti Companies (Construction, 201-500 employees) Chose Egnyte Dropbox is really simple, and you can share files. But users cannot manage who sees files as well as Egnyte does. In Egnyte, you can allow users to have full access and down to view only access. You can also give links to non-users so they can just view the files. Dropbox makes … Incentivized Helpful? Anna Bussewitz Administrative Assistant at The BERO Group (Accounting, 11-50 employees) Chose Egnyte Dropbox does not allow you to see who is working in a document so it can be very inefficient. Incentivized Helpful? Jessica Rogers Administrative Assistant in Marketing at Building Champions (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Egnyte Box or Dropbox are kind of similar but don't even touch Egnyte in capacity and capability. Incentivized Helpful? Erin Gracyalny Customer Success Manager in Customer Service at Propel Software Solutions (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte was the clear winner, given how the access works and how it can scale over time. It allows folder access control at every folder level, meaning you won't have to restructure or create a new site just to isolate specific data. Incentivized Helpful? Guy G. Gray Chief Operating Officer in Corporate at Quarem (Commercial Real Estate, 11-50 employees) Chose Egnyte Egnyte provided Quarem the most robust and secure environment. Additionally, Egynte makes organizing the files very simple, saving my team time and money. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Egnyte None of these other solutions had document tracking or search features that could even hold a candle to Egnyte. Out of all of them box had the best, then we tried Egnyte and it blew then all out of the water. The amount of time we saved on minor tasks was more than enough to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Egnyte Egnyte allows integration with Google Drive as well as providing additional functionality such as tasking. Incentivized Helpful?
