We performed a comparison between Egnyte and Google Drive Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can really do a lot of cool things with it in terms of being able to co-author and share documents with users that are not in your organization."
"From a small firm perspective, Egnyte Connect is simple, it is easy to get users up and running the same day, and I have nothing negative to say about the software. I can't speak to how Egnyte Connect would operate in a midsize company or even a large Fortune 500 company, but, from our perspective as a small business, it is fantastic."
"Egnyte Connect is a great application to save files."
"It is a good storage solution."
"It provides a way to granularly choose which folders from the internet you want to sync to your computer. It is really useful for people who are working on teams that are working with files that are frequently changing. You can go in and pretty clearly see what changes have been made. It gives you a constant feed."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"It is scalable and stable."
"The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me."
"It's a stable product."
"I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am."
"For any file you want to collaborate on with colleagues or external people, like clients, it can be done in real-time. That's the most interesting feature."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Google Drive is its seamless integration across mobile devices and computers."
"The solution's most valuable features are collaboration and the automatic sharing of information among different company stakeholders."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share files."
"If this solution had a better ability to search, that would be helpful. In addition, if there was an ability to collaborate, that would also be a benefit. At present, the vision control is had because if someone gets out of it, it locks. And, whoever saves last overrides everyone's work."
"Before, when we were starting to use Egnyte, we were struggling with a lot of bugs with Egnyte desktop sync."
"It would be nice to see an integration of using an active directory to validate and authenticate users on our end as well as on the client user's end."
"As of right now, I have everything that I and my team need."
"The issue of my authorization token expiring pretty quickly was pretty annoying. On pretty much every update, it would expire on every computer. On every computer update, at the first opportunity, it would expire. When my computer got updated or the authorization got cut, my saved drives would get messed up. So, I had to reconnect them all. I was never able to set up a useful drive system with my local computer with Egnyte Connect. It would be a big improvement if there was a cached system so that when it loses connection, it can still save what kind of connections were set up, and when it reconnects, it repopulates all those. I don't know if that's even possible, but that's the feature I'd want."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"I would like better security because I use Google Drive to store some personal documents, It would be nice if I could password protect some files."
"Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups. It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface."
"The product’s document management and automation features are very limited."
"It would be helpful if there was a synchronization option that would allow me to synchronize folders or emails with my online repository. That way, any new items added to the folder would automatically be uploaded to the solution, without me having to manually upload them."
"I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments."
"The storage space customization is limited, starting with 2GB and jumping significantly higher without intermediate options. Learning to use the admin console can be complex and overwhelming for some users. Additionally, the subscription payment method could be simpler, as updating payment details can be challenging if a credit card expires. For simple users, Gmail is fine, but business users often require more control."
"It's become difficult to fit everything in one window."
"It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small."
