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. The fundamental areas of difference are as follows:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Feature benefits of FileCloud over WatchDox<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>Unified Device Management Console \u2013 <\/strong><\/em>FileCloud\u2019s unified device management console provides simplified access to managing mobile devices enabled to access enterprise data, irrespective of whether the device is enterprise owned, employee owned, mobile platform or device type. Manage and control of thousands of iOS and Android, devices in FileCloud\u2019s secure, browser-based dashboard. FileCloud\u2019s administrator console is intuitive and requires no training or dedicated staff. FileCloud\u2019s MDM works on any vendor\u2019s network \u2014 even if the managed devices are on the road, at a caf\u00e9, or used at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Amazon S3\/OpenStack Support<\/em> \u2013<\/strong> Enterprise wanting to use Amazon S3 or OpenStack storage can easily set it up with FileCloud. This feature not only provides enterprise with flexibility to switch storage but also make switch very easily.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Embedded File Upload Website Form \u2013 <\/strong><\/em>FileCloud\u2019s Embedded File Upload Website Form enables users to embed a small FileCloud interface onto any website, blog, social networking service, intranet, or any public URL that supports HTML embed code. Using the Embedded File Upload Website Form, you can easily allow file uploads to a specific folder within your account. This feature is similar to File Drop Box that allows your customers or associates to send any type of file without requiring them to log in or to create an account.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Multi-Tenancy Support \u2013<\/strong> <\/em>The multi-tenancy feature allows Managed Service Providers(MSP) serve multiple customers using single instance of FileCloud. The key value proposition of FileCloud multi-tenant architecture is that while providing multi-tenancy the data separation among different tenants is also maintained . Moreover, every tenant has the flexibility for customized branding.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>NTFS Shares Support \u2013 <\/strong><\/em>Many organizations use the NTFS permissions to manage and control the access permissions for internal file shares. It is very hard to duplicate the access permissions to other systems and keep it sync. FileCloud enables access to internal file shares via web and mobile while honoring the existing NTFS file permissions. This functionality is a great time saver for system administrators and provides a single point of management.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on our experience, enterprises that look for an EFSS solution want two main things. One, easy integration to their existing storage system without any disruption to access permissions or network home folders. Two, ability to easily expand integration into highly available storage systems such as OpenStack or Amazon S3. <\/p>\n<p>WatchDox neither provides OpenStack\/Amazon S3 storage integration support nor NTFS share support. On the other hand, <strong>FileCloud provides easy integration support into Amazon S3\/OpenStack and honors NTFS permissions on local storage.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>With FileCloud, enterprises get one simple solution with all features bundled. <strong>For the same 20 user package, the cost is $999\/year, almost 1\/4th of WatchDox.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/compare-filecloud-vs-all-competitors\/\">Here\u2019s a comprehensive comparison that shows why FileCloud stands out as the best EFSS solution.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em> <strong><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-xlarge fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-thumbs-up\" style=\"background-color: #339e85; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"#onpremiseTrial\" data-fasc-style=\"background-color:#339e85;color:#ffffff;\">Try FileCloud For Free &amp; Receive 5% Discount<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/tour\/\">Take a tour of FileCloud<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FileCloud competes with WatchDox for business in the Enterprise File Sync and Share space(EFSS).
