Egnyte review

Egnyte is built for companies where who can see a file matters as much as where it is stored. The Business plan at $22 per user per month paid annually includes discretionary permissions with flexible inheritance, email-validated sharing, versioning with global file locking, Microsoft 365 co-editing and Google Workspace integration. Enterprise Lite at $39 adds ransomware detection, suspicious login detection, content lifecycle management and advanced workflows. Elite at $48 brings AI Assistant, AI Search, AI workflows, PDF markup, e-signature and dynamic watermarking, and Ultimate adds sensitive data classification and DLP integrations. Add-ons cover construction and large BIM files. The trade-off is cost and complexity: it is the most expensive starting price on this list, and the security features many buyers want sit two tiers up. For firms with project files and compliance needs it does more than general storage tools.

Who it is for

Architecture, engineering, construction and life sciences firms that need governance on shared files.
