Christopher Fritz Senior IT Supporter 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.

Brandon Wells, MPA Director of Volunteer Engagement Chose Egnyte Egnyte's storage capacity was well beyond the capabilities of DropBox at our budget.

User Testimonials
	Egnyte	Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
Likelihood to Recommend	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 Mykii Liu IT Support Engineer Read full review	-Where companies need to secure their attachment, which goes outside, means from their company to outside -Where companies need to ensure their client's personal information -Where companies need DLP. They need to look for Forcepoint only, as they have the upper hand over the rest of their competitors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Drive map tool on Windows and flexibility on client configuration, can change drive letters fairly easily if needed. New user setup is straightforward and permissions not too difficult to set up and assign. Support has been fairly responsive and helpful with issues as they have come up. Incentivized Ian Hansen Client Success Manager Read full review	The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Endpoint module is applied to secure data being used at endpoints, like from Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft capabilities, also other functions like email and FTP, Active Sync, etc. It secures the data in use at the endpoint. The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Network Module is applied for the traffic being used in network capabilities like email, FTP, and web. It also secures the data on the move in the network. Forcepoint Data Discover--the capability to discover the data which is sensitive for the organization and lies across the network; with the discovery tool, we can define the data, which is important based on regulatory and compliance risk. OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities also come with the Data Discover Module, by which we can see the embedded text inside the image and that helps to prevent sensitive data theft.

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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Remote filtering is not as advanced as we would like. Support time is not as quick as needed in most cases. Upgrades of appliances and software is not as easy as other solutions. HTTPS inspection needs to hand a valid cert and doesnt work correctly with all vendors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	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. Incentivized Evan Wilson I.T. Service Specialist Read full review	We have been fairly happy with the product and how it has worked. We have looked at other vendors for url filter and such and have not found one that meets our needs or does what we have been doing with Websense. The product has been fairly stable and we have only had a few issues in the past. We have all seen that it was one of the highest leaders from the Gartner Group Magic Quadrant for Web Gateways. Incentivized Bill Rieger Network Engineer Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	For us, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention was difficult to administer, did not work well when it did work, was incredibly expensive for the feature set you get, and was difficult to uninstall when we moved on from the software. Once it was fully set up, it worked occasionally for us. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Christopher Fritz Senior IT Supporter Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Support from Forcepoint has been lacking. When calling in with a high priority issue we rarely are able to work with a technician immediately. The queue waits are very long and when you get through there are no support engineers available and we need to wait for a call back for hours it seems. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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. SharePoint sync to PC is terrible. WP William Press Cloud Project Manager Read full review	User friendly solution that makes it easy to deploy and manage. Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention very effective to protecting our valuable data on endpoints and where data lives like in the Cloud, server and on-premises disk drives and its valuable to just set policies once and start utilizing Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention solution. Incentivized Olivia Jayy Operations Manager Read full review
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. Incentivized Brandon Smith Business Consultant Read full review	The capability of this tool to update in real time has saved a lot of time and even saved a lot of energy for researching. The exchange of financial information related to customers builds up an extreme risk of data loss, which can be damaging to the customer.
