Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Assignar

  • It is built for contractors who own crews and plant, so a general contractor coordinating subcontractors gets little from it beyond its own self-perform scopes.
  • It is not an accounting or payroll system, so the value depends on a clean integration to your finance system and on someone owning the reconciliation when hours disagree.
  • Australian origins show in terminology and compliance defaults, and North American users spend setup time translating concepts such as tickets and inductions into local equivalents.
  • Offline capture works, but photo-heavy forms on poor connections remain the weak point and should be tested on your worst site before a full rollout.
  • Supervisors have to maintain the schedule for the reporting to mean anything, and dispatchers used to a whiteboard resist that for months unless the change is enforced.

Egnyte

  • Storage is allocated per plan rather than per user, at 100 GB on Business and 150 GB on every tier above it
  • That means Elite at $48 per user per month carries the same 150 GB as Enterprise Lite at $39
  • The Business plan caps the account at 100 power users, so growth past that forces a jump to $39 per user
  • Every published price requires annual payment
  • The Ultimate tier is quoted rather than listed

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Assignar: Is this for general contractors or subcontractors?

Speciality and self-perform contractors. The unit of work is a crew and a machine on a shift, which is not how a general contractor coordinates trades.

Egnyte: How much does Egnyte cost per user?

Egnyte pricing ranges from $22 per user per month (Business plan, paid annually) to $48 per user per month (Elite plan, paid annually). The Ultimate plan requires a custom quote. Enterprise Lite is $39 per user per month.

Assignar: Does the mobile app work without signal?

Yes, entries are captured offline and synchronised later. Test it with photos attached on your worst site, because that is where sync problems appear.

Egnyte: What storage limits apply to each Egnyte plan?

Business plan includes 100 GB per account and supports up to 100 users. Enterprise Lite, Elite, and Ultimate plans include 150 GB per account each with support for unlimited users.

No. It captures hours and quantities and passes them to your payroll or enterprise resource planning system.
