When is Egnyte the better choice?
Teams that use Egnyte as content collaboration and file governance for distributed teams stay on that store. IDP bounding boxes and an MCP record are not the Egnyte core.
When API-first, credits and MCP without a client or suite mandate matter, PaperOffice is the better fit.
