Replacing WFS - Egnyte or Nasuni?

New here and would appreciate any advice! I have around 65-70TB of file data (some CAD files, some archive) on 3 file servers. We're a mid-sized professional engineering firm with around 240 active users across 12 locations.
We’re starting to think ahead about easier management and scalability, especially with a few acquisitions planned. Has anyone here used Egnyte or Nasuni in a similar environment?

At this point, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which explains why reactions are split Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.

Without overthinking it, this comes across more reactive than planned which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what makes this interesting. At least from my perspective.

On the surface, this depends heavily on what happens next and that friction is hard to ignore Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the wording alone shifts how people read this which is why this is getting picked apart

the signal is clear, the strategy less so so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.

If we’re being honest, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that tension shows up immediately That’s the key detail here. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.
