Discover the common reasons that inspire businesses to move to Egnyte

  • They upgrade from aging or failing on-premise hardware, such as file servers or NAS devices, which no longer meet their needs.

  • They enjoy more flexible remote collaboration options.

  • They benefit from streamlined IT management and reduced overhead costs.

  • They gain peace of mind with the security and governance offered by Egnyte, which meets the demands of the industry and customers.

Why Organisations prefer Egnyte to Microsoft SharePoint

  • File Path Length: SharePoint has restrictions on file name and path lengths. The total length of the URL for any file must be less than 400 characters.

  • Syncing Issues: Desktop access to data is limited to syncing through the OneDrive for Desktop application. With no Mapped Drive facility, this can be cumbersome for users who rely on historical file paths and links.

  • Storage limits: SharePoint imposes a storage limit of 25 TB per site collection. Once this limit is reached, the site collection becomes read-only, preventing new data from being added.

  • File Sharing: External sharing can be complex to manage, especially when dealing with sensitive information. SharePoint's sharing settings need to be carefully configured to ensure security and compliance.

  • Accessibility: Files can be difficult to find depending on how and where you search for them. Frustration often results in data sprawling onto Desktops and local folders for ease of access.

“Our recommendation is to leverage SharePoint for what it is good for and leave the data storage, security and management to Egnyte. With integration with the Microsoft 365 suite built into Egnyte, files can easily be presented within SharePoint sites for even more accessibility.”
