Egnyte Named Market Leader in Ovum’s Decision Matrix for EFSS

I joined Egnyte’s European operations at the end of August, and I’ve been focused on building my team and expanding Egnyte’s presence in EMEA. I’m happy to announce that we’ve hit a great milestone recently with the validation of our enterprise solution as a Market Leader by industry analyst firm Ovum.This leading European analyst firm recently released its report, titled “Decision Matrix: Selecting an Enterprise File Sync and Share Product, 2014-15,” which examined 19 EFSS vendors, assessing the areas of technology, execution and market impact. Based on the firm’s capability model, Ovum pointed to the Egnyte solution’s flexibility in deployment and architecture as factors in ranking us as a leader in technology, while pointing to our product development and maturity for ranking us as a leader in execution.Ovum’s global study recognized Egnyte’s file sharing, synchronization, and search features among the best in class, which I’m thrilled to share today, as it highlights our commitment to the businesses in EMEA and around the world.Richard Edwards, the lead author of the report and principal analyst for Enterprise Mobility and Productivity at Ovum said: “With the hybrid capabilities of this enterprise file sync and share suite, Egnyte is able to deliver increased productivity and mobility to employees, with improved levels of security and content control to admins and compliance officers. This makes Egnyte’s suite of enterprise file services a particularly desirable match for the security-focused European market.”Additional strengths of Egnyte cited in the Decision Matrix:

• Secure, enterprise-class synchronization for IT and Line-of-Business: Egnyte synchronizes files across laptops, desktops, mobile devices and enterprise storage. The product provides native device controls and remote-wipe features for enterprise administrators, importantly removing only corporate data held on end-user devices.
• Effectively meets the needs of administrators, compliance officers, and IT infrastructure managers: Egnyte provides a range of storage administration features that address the scenarios necessary to deliver maximum enterprise flexibility, by offering options for authentication and security. Files can be hosted in the cloud or on-premises based on privacy needs, and files can also be restricted to specific geographies.

Stay tuned for more updates from Egnyte EMEA as we position ourselves for an unparalleled 2015.
