Great search functionality and useful co-authoring capabilities with an easy setup
The best feature is the co-authoring. Before, in Egnyte desktop sync, it didn't have the capability to co-author. Now, since you have Egnyte Connect on your machine, it gives you the capability to co-author on a single file at the same time. Now that the Egnyte vendor upgraded the version and they introduced the Egnyte Connect, there are a lot of features that they added, including co-authoring. You can also access those files and folders using your mobile device, which is good. Some of our advisors don't have a desktop or laptop, so they are just accessing their files via mobile devices or tablets. Before, in Egnyte desktop sync, you could install it on a certain server. Now, with Egnyte Connect, you can install the application on a particular server, and then you can save your file from there. The initial setup is easy. It's easy to move files around, even to, for example, SharePoint. The search functionality has been good. The user interface is great. Support is great. In Egnyte Connect, you can add more domains if you want to access files and folders.

Flexible plans, stable, and scalable
I used another solution at the same time, which was far worse. The American company I worked for used a similar file-sharing solution called LeapFile, a secure file transfer service. Personally, I found Citrix ShareFile to be much better than LeapFile, which was quite clunky. I later used a solution called Egnyte, which my company used as its main file transfer solution, though I'm not sure if it's still in use. The company moved to Egnyte because it is more of an enterprise-level solution. Egnyte was expensive, but it worked. I believe Citrix ShareFile is aimed at smaller to medium-sized organizations, making it a more appropriate solution than Egnyte due to its pricing.
