Our Smart DLP and Intelligent content classification system offers seamless security to protect your enterprise content.

Egnyte and FileCloud Online offer enterprise file sharing solution for businesses. Unlike competitors, both Egnyte and FileCloud Online offer unique hybrid cloud capabilities to synchronize local file severs to the cloud and vice versa. Egnyte StorageSync uses a locally installed virtual appliance to provide the hybrid cloud capability while FileCloud doesn’t require a separate virtual appliance. One can use their existing windows file servers to act as a local file storage that is synchronized to the cloud.

When compared to FileCloud Online, Egnyte plans are substantially expensive. Most of the important features required by system administrators like Role-based Administration, Multiple Entity Management, Native AD/LDAP Integration, SAML SSO Integration and Archiving Service are available only with Egnyte Enterprise plan (Higher priced plan than Egnyte Business plan).

With FileCloud Online you get more for less. We don’t dice and slice our capabilities to different price plans. Our Enterprise plan costs just 15$ per user per month and includes AD/SSO integration, role based administration, custom domain, salesforce integration, retention, archival, DLP and content classification. For 100 users our enterprise plan can save more than 6000$ when compared to comparable Egnyte’s enterprise plan.
