Considered Both Products
Egnyte
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.
Chose Egnyte
Egnyte syncs with Windows machines better than any competitor I have come across. The service focuses on just this platform and their in depth focus shows in the end result. Google is not really made with Windows in mind. Box is cumbersome and the web portal is not easy to use. …
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 …
Chose Egnyte
I have also tried Azure Backup but Egnyte has more smart features than this. As I am using their platform for some time so when I get stuck anywhere I just contact their representatives and they respond on time. Listen to queries very carefully.
Chose Egnyte
It is a better cloud storage platform than other tools. The technical staff is the most fantastic thing about Egnyte. They are always available for any kind of help at any time. They assess the problem critically and
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.
Chose Egnyte
At the time when this was implemented (over 5 years ago and still in production), there were issues with syncing and reliability that Egnyte did not have, and have continued to impress with. Other providers have improved a lot and Egnyte is fairly costly, but switching costs …
Chose Egnyte
Egnyte provided a secure and reliable platform for our specific need [for] secure file sharing. We do not rely on Egnyte for syncing files or for a corporate internal file share, which is how we use Google Drive. But, we are pleased with the customizations and tracking of …
Chose Egnyte
I have used DropBox a lot in the past which is similar but not as well suited to handling large amounts of data and is more complicated to use.
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 …
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, …
Chose Egnyte
Egnyte has a much easier management console and it's easier to share files and create a directory of files etc. The overview is more simplified. Onedrive, however, has the option to collaborate in documents in the application itself. But Egnyte should have this feature in the …
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 …
Chose Egnyte
Egynte does not allow for file collaboration when compared to Google Drive. Egynte is a better option for compliant and secure file and asset management. Also for when taking version control into consideration. When organizations are collaborating with external organiations …
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 …
Chose Egnyte
Egnyte is easier to use and doesn't have as many glitches. It's pretty seamless to edit something and it saves multiple copies of a draft. It's easier and cleaner to search, set up admin rights and you can set it up to store automatically. I had some major issues with Google …
Chose Egnyte
I did not select Egnyte - my company used it when I started to work here. I don't have another program to compare to but we all have been very happy with the system. We plan to use it for as long as possible. It is super easy to use and we love that it has the ability to open …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Chose Egnyte
Egnyte allows integration with Google Drive as well as providing additional functionality such as tasking.
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 …
ElaBoard
Chose ElaBoard
ElaBoard stands out among other similar products due to its integrations with a range of services and applications, as well as its range of pricing options to suit different needs and budgets. Additionally, ElaBoard has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use, and …
Chose ElaBoard
Trello and ElaBoard share the feature of allowing users to organize and collaborate on projects, tasks, and events. Both allow users to create boards to store and organize information, as well as add notes, files, tags, and comments for each item. It offers us a series of …
Chose ElaBoard
Interface of Ela Board is better and user-friendly. It is dependent on the G Suite and may not be considered as an independent Whiteboard. Very limited tools available. Media tools are not available. Being a google product, the we were not confident on the security front. …
Chose ElaBoard
I think Miro offers more features and faster performances when it comes to those features, but ElaBoard is better for our size organization (small to mid). We don't necessarily need a lot of the offerings in Miro, so ElaBoard suited our budget better.
Chose ElaBoard
We went with ElaBoard because of the pricepoint, but I have used several other similar tools, and I think it's pretty comparable.
Chose ElaBoard
Honestly, I like using both products (Miro and ElaBoard). I think Elaboard is a little easier to use and implement. They are similar, but Elaboard is a little more user-friendly. I do wish Elaboard had the variety of templates Miro offers.
Chose ElaBoard
While I think Miro is a great platform, Elaboard offered better integration with the other software we use in the organization.

If you're simply sharing and syncing across devices and don't care about granular security permissions, this is an easy win. If you're needing more control over the ability to restrict users from deleting folders, sharing folders, and allowing only certain groups to be able to view a folder, this can work but will ultimately give you arthritis as you'll end up having to perform a multitude of clicks for a task that should be able to be done in a fraction of the action. Have a folder template that allows for the first two levels of folders to be view only and the third level allowing file/folder creation and deletion? Have fun setting each of the third level folder's permissions-- they should give out free wrist braces. When discussed with their engineers about this function, a suggested $28,000 custom script was suggested. I don't believe them when they say that they haven't heard of other customers wishing to assign rights to multiple folders-- Something any sort of real admin would require. It simply isn't important to them, which is fine. The current ability

It is visually appealing and any user may fall in love with the interface & overall design of the application. It is light and fast. It is a breeze for the organizations with remote team so that they can colloborate and discuss different things on the same page. Drag and drop features add value and easy of use. Creating and discussing the points is easy with Colored Markets and drawings. It helps to make the boring meetings, more productive, effective and fun.

  • I like that we can collaborate all in one place without the need for multiple different windows or applications of different products to view necessary documentation across teams.
  • I love how easy to use it is and it took hardly any work at all to set up.
  • The use of templates really helps speed things up, so we're not left trying to assemble things all on our own.

Cons
  • We often have issues with WebEdit, changes not saving/overwriting
  • No functionality to drag and drop files/folders within the UI, can only move things by going through Move > Select location
  • When previewing Word files in the browser, tracked changes are not shown so there can be misunderstandings when quickly reviewing documents

  • They need more templates! There are only a few options and they aren't very creative or helpful. Need more variety.
  • Wish you could import and integrate with Miro boards.
  • Sometimes the drag and drop has glitches when using it.

We found that usage of Egnyte in our supported clients, with sufficient bandwidth, provided all the features and stability we required. The billing setup was fair and the support provided was ample for end users and well as our in house admins. There was a concern about high usage clients but this was taken into account during the vetting process.

Usability
Really easy to use the interface. The web browser is very intuitive and I have not had any notable issues with this. It's easy to work on documents as a team, and the only issues we have to tend to come with Apple apps and downloading large files to WebEdit. It's very similar to the filing systems that come on Apple and Windows devices so not a steep learning curve.

I gave ElaBoard an 8 rating for its overall usability because it provides an intuitive and user-friendly platform for teams to collaborate on a variety of tasks. The kindergarten management system was a great addition, as it allowed us to keep track of the kids inside the home or in the kindergarten. Additionally, the library of educational resources and games was also very useful. Furthermore, the platform is easy to set up and navigate, and the customer service team is responsive and helpful. Overall, ElaBoard makes it easy for teams to work together and efficiently get things done.

Performance
Egnyte works very well across all platforms and as an add-on to other programs. Load time is close to nothing. Reports can be made in no time as well. All in all no performance issues. We can see that it depends on the local network connection. If you're running with fiber there won't be any issues.

I never had to reach out to customer support for Egnyte. I don't know any coworkers who have had to reach out to Egnyte for support either. As far as I am concerned, the support team is doing a good job since I have not had to reach out to them.

Return on Investment
  • The promising advantage of Egnyte is that user can access their files from the cloud anywhere without any cumbrance like connecting to VPN or other third-party soft wares.
  • No risk of data loss.
  • The platform is lacking in changing the parent administrator of a folder as if one person is the administrator of the file or folder and when needs to change it becomes clunky and does not supports it properly.

  • Positive: Increased productivity for sprint planning
  • Positive: It helps to give you a high-level overview of projects and initiatives as you can have a very good view of everything documented on ElaBoard
