What Egnyte for AEC does

Egnyte gives AEC teams a controlled cloud file system without forcing every user to abandon desktop file habits. Project folders can be synchronized, cached, shared externally, searched, locked, archived, and governed across offices and jobsites.

The pricing page covers the underlying platform tiers, while AEC Suite and advanced security or automation may have separate requirements. A meaningful quote should identify the base tier, AEC capabilities, integrations, storage, support, and hybrid infrastructure rather than relying on the entry price.

Pricing visibilityFree trial

Egnyte publishes Business at $22, Enterprise Lite at $39, and Elite at $48 per user monthly with annual billing; Ultimate is quoted. AEC Suite, governance, AI, and integrations vary by plan or add-on.

Before the demo

What stands out, and what to pin down

What stands out on paper

  • Familiar mapped-drive workflow for large distributed file sets
  • Broad controls for outside collaborators without copying files into email
  • Security, governance, and hybrid options can serve regulated firms

Questions for the vendor

  • The $22 Business plan does not include every AEC, governance, ransomware, or AI capability shown across the platform
  • Per-user pricing and advanced add-ons can become significant at enterprise scale
  • Cloud sync still requires naming, locking, archive, external-sharing, and retention standards

Integrations

An integration name alone does not tell you which records move, in which direction, or how often. Ask to see the exact workflow you need using representative data.
