Where each one falls short

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

Dalux

No pricing is published for any paid module, so comparing Dalux against Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud on cost requires entering a sales process and waiting for a quote you cannot benchmark.
There is no cost management, estimating, budgeting or payment application functionality, so commercial teams keep a separate system and someone reconciles the two by hand.
The integration catalogue is thin next to the American incumbents, and ERP or finance connections generally mean custom work through the API rather than a listed connector.
Support, documentation and product terminology are strongest in Danish and Northern European construction conventions, and teams working to AIA or other North American contract norms will find the workflows do not map cleanly.
The free tier is deliberately limited: Field Basic has no checklists, no document control and no reporting, so the free users your subcontractors get are consumers of information rather than participants in a controlled process, and upgrading them is a paid conversation.

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
