FileCloud Online outshines Egnyte in value and ROI
FileCloud Online offers high ROI compared to Egnyte. Not only does FileCloud Online save on cost, it includes sophisticated features and security options for greater peace of mind, even at the Standard license level. To get similar features with Egnyte, you must opt for their Enterprise license, or include pricey add-ons with the Business license. Additionally, Egnyte’s Business license only covers up to 100 users. FileCloud Online’s only requirement is a minimum of five users.
If you did want to upgrade to an Enterprise license with FileCloud, the cost is easy to calculate thanks to FileCloud Online’s transparent pricing structure. Businesses and organizations can rely on FileCloud to provide long-term value and adaptive services at a stable cost. Egnyte on the other hand has a history of frequent price increases year over year and requires that you contact them for a quote for Enterprise inquiries.

Why Choose FileCloud Online?
Egnyte and FileCloud are both cloud solutions for file syncing, sharing, and collaborating with centralized content and tools, providing access to files alongside significant data security features. However, Egnyte comes with a high price tag for even the basic “Business” license. Many desirable or potentially necessary features are only accessible by upgrading to the “Enterprise” license. FileCloud Online is a strong alternative that provides you with robust Return-on-Investment, secure access, and powerful administrative, compliance, and automation features.
Large File Storage and Sharing, No Extra Cost
Being able to store your files is a necessary aspect of file storage services. That’s why FileCloud does not enforce limits on file sizes. Sharing your large files is as easy as uploading, thanks to password-protected links and other sharing options. Furthermore, FileCloud includes an extra 100 GB of storage space for every additional user. In comparison, Egnyte limits their file-sharing to 100 GB, and their Business license extends only 10 GB of storage per additional user.
Metadata Policies
FileCloud Online empowers users to manage their data and files through custom metadata tags. FileCloud online preserves Microsoft Office metadata by importing these tags along with the file when it is uploaded. However, users and admins can also set up custom metadata tags for better file organization within the FileCloud ecosystem through the federated search. There is no limit on the number of custom metadata rules. Additionally, these rules can be used to leverage other advanced features like FileCloud’s classification engine and Data Leak Protection policies. Securing a file based on metadata becomes an automated process and accessing a file is fast and efficient.

FileCloud Online Workflows & Integrated Actions
Automated workflows are becoming an increasingly important aspect of data and file management. FileCloud Online’s integrated workflows are an amazing tool that reduces the burden of connecting people with data. Users can set up a series of if/then conditions pertaining to a specific file or folder in their account. These workflows can also be triggered by a specified activity, such as the addition or creation of a new file, a user-initiated share of a file, sharing activity of a file, or a time-based event.
It’s easy to set up, run, or modify workflows through the tab in the user portal. Once inside a workflow, users can edit, update, expand, or even delete steps thanks to the user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface. FileCloud Online includes pre-set variables inside the workflows, but users can also create their own to suit their unique needs! Automated workflows are flexible and responsive, updating automatically to make logical connections, which ensures operations remain seamless.
Automated workflows also include a new tab in the user portal: “Actions.” This tab shows users if their attention is required to complete a workflow. For example, if the next step ip a workflow is for a document to be approved, that user will receive a notification update prompting them to take action. This can either be done directly through the notification or by going to the Actions tab directly. The automated workflow takes care of the rest.
