Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
eSUB
- Limited to commercial subcontractors; not suitable for general contractors or non-construction industries
- Custom pricing with no transparent public pricing makes budget planning difficult for prospective customers
- Narrow candidate list with only one direct competitor (Procore) in the space
- May have smaller feature set compared to enterprise construction platforms
