Pricing

• Egnyte:
  Enterprises need to buy add-on or upgrade to satisfy basic requirements such as handling larger files and accessing Red files. For a 50 user package, the cost adds up to around $9000/year.
• FileCloud:
  Enterprises get one simple solution with all features bundled. For the same 50 user package, with more features the cost is $2200/year, almost 1/4th of Egnyte.

From outside looking-in, the offerings all look similar. However, the approach to the solution is completely different in satisfying enterprises primary need of easy access to their files without compromising privacy, security and control.
Some fundamental areas of difference:

Privacy and Security

Egnyte:

Enterprises need to classify their files into 3 categories to determine the degree of security needed. The categories are as follows:

• Green Files: Small files that enterprises are comfortable storing and working within the cloud. Enterprises are expected to upload their green files to Egnyte's cloud server.

• Yellow Files: Bulky files that enterprises want to store in the cloud, but would rather access from the local storage device. Enterprises need to pay more for larger file sizes or have a limitation on using Egnyte's solution.

• Red Files: Sensitive files that enterprises never want to transfer to the cloud such as financial data and documents subjected to privacy regulation like HIPAA. Enterprises need to buy Storage Connect, an add-on product that allows direct access to files stored on-premise storage system.

FileCloud:

• Enterprises doesn't need to categorize their files. All files get the utmost security, privacy and control. The Egnyte alternative, FileCloud is color blind to files and provides security, privacy and complete control in its purest form.

• Simple to deploy and simple to use.
