As a growing company, employees have their favorite tools - Engineers seem to prefere Google, Marketing and Sales and Administrative generally need MS Office, etc. Pros: Egnyte and its various integrations is an absolute must for a shared file system in any startup. It's a quick fix, but the process isn't something that can be done without admin access and a decent base of knowledge. The Salesforce API fails periodically leaving the office high and dry if I (IT Director) am not around. It's not the best customer retention strategy, but in my experience, the dedicated support folks are difficult to get ahold of and have to escalate your issue more often than not because they are third-party. The best way to actually get assistance is to dial in and press the button for sales, you'll be assigned a lot more value. Cons: The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Data is stored without any issue and the cost is reasonable. It functions perfectly fine in its role as a cloud service. Pros: Egnyte is a cloud storage service with some basic admin controls and a desktop app that allows you to treat it as a network drive, as well a browser-based service. Overall: Secure backup of all our documents, easy to set up FTP sites, that have HIPAA compliant security.
The app is great for uploading photos and similar to the site, but I've never been able to use the app to invite a user - everything looks like it's working, but the 'save' screen doen't pop up the way it does on the computer, and so it doesn't save the invitation and thus doesn't work. It can usually be resolved with a few clicks, but I've never figured out what happens to prompt the shutdown. Cons: Sometimes the backup function locks up without reason. There are lots more features that we don't even use.

The price is very reasonable for everything that's included, and the amount of control you have over your data and settings.
