Egnyte – Advanced File System
As announced last month, all legacy business Egnyte plans have been transitioned to the Advanced File System (AFS) plan.
At $20 per license, AFS includes 200GB / User, Active Directory and SSO Integration, and Role-Based Administration.
Upgrades to your plan:
Public Cloud File Caching (PCC) – Egnyte Public Cloud Connector provides a solution to bridge customers’ requirements for public clouds while keeping the business content on the Egnyte platform.
Basic Ransomware Artifact Detection
Ransomware Alert (Email notification) – Setting up email alerts allows you to react in real-time to new issues discovered within your content sources. You can even customize these alerts, so the right people are notified of the appropriate type of issue.
User Individual File Recovery
AD / SSO Integration – When users from your company attempt to log in to Egnyte, Egnyte can be set up to authenticate directly against your directory service. This ensures that you don’t have to manage passwords in two separate places. Your directory service can serve as the system of record for all password information, and Egnyte will utilize this information to authenticate the user.
Role-Based Administration – An Administrator in Egnyte performs many functions: Adding and deleting users, updating billing information, managing trash retention policies, and more. Role-based Administration enables you to delegate some of these administrative tasks to Power Users. Role-based Administration also allows you to enable certain features for a subset of users.
