The Verdict
Egnyte is built for regulated industries and architecture firms, with a focus on file-sharing and content-governance. Tenable targets security teams and compliance officers and leads with vulnerability-scanning and asset-discovery.
On pricing, Egnyte is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $10/mo compared to $3990/mo for Tenable. That $3980/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Tenable has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Egnyte requires a paid subscription from day one.
