Where each one falls short

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

BuildingConnected

  • No pricing details disclosed on product page; contact sales required

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
