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."I like the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Box is security."
"The collaboration of the solution is good."
"The interface is very good."
"Box is extremely stable, they have not been hacked or lost any data in the past seventeen years. I am very impressed with it."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"Sharing and collaborating across files and folders has been a massive game changer."
"The solution is used for data storage and any kind of visualization."
"It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint."
"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."
"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."
"It is scalable and stable."
"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."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"With OneDrive, you can continuously save your files over a Box folder. That is something I wish we could have."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"Improvements in speed - Box's high level of security impacts performance, especially when compared with other similar services."
"I find their API to be quite complex and it could be more straightforward."
"The UI should be faster. Sometimes it lags when switching between documents."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"You cannot delete a file when you have uploaded it in error."
"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."
