About

Kenesto is a cloud-based storage solution for managing engineering, design, and construction documents. Kenesto is much less expensive than enterprise PDM solutions but provides automatic file locking, versioning, vaulting, 2D/3D viewing, and web-based design review tools not found in consumer-grade cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and Google Drive. The solution behaves like a mounted disk in the customer's office but the with a single source of truth in the cloud. File locking prevents users from overwriting each other's data. All versions of all files are stored in perpetuity. Using the familiar user interface of Windows Explorer, files and folders are arranged in the same way as one would expect for a C Drive. Kenesto includes tasks and workflows. A plugin for SolidWorks is available for no charge. All file transfers from the user’s local computer to the cloud are encrypted. All files are stored in secure AWS S3 and are encrypted.

About

Cloud storage as hard disk Managing your favorite cloud storage cannot be easier. Just provide cloud login information, and all cloud storages will automatically appear as your virtual drive each time you start your PC. NAS storage as virtual drive You can connect to NAS servers by WebDAV or FTP. Many NAS vendors recommend NetDrive as a standard way to mount their NAS products. Share your NAS easily with anyone as virtual drive. SFTP to securely transfer files NetDrive supports secure file transfer by SFTP (SSH File Transfer protocol) . Unlike standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP), SFTP encrypt commands and data both, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over a network.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Kenesto is a very easy to use file management tool that has enabled our organization to utilize remote workers much more efficiently than traditional local servers ever did. Kenesto provides a great way to keep track of file revisions and archive our work progress.

Cons

  • There always seems to be an update to the program. I feel like I am installing a new update every week.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I connected NetDrive and Plex to build a multimedia streaming environment. Google Drive is used for video storage, and 4K video streaming is also possible using NetDrive. So I can see the video I want to see anywhere.
  • I use Dropbox and Google Drive a lot. It can be used directly from Explorer without taking up space on the local drive. It is very convenient to use in explorer.
  • Reliable SFTP and FTP support. Auto and effortless to mount storage. Quick background file uploading process. Easy to add team members.
  • Its file upload speed is great especially when there are large number of small files. If you have NAS you need this.

Cons

  • I mainly use Windows, but sometimes I use Linux. I would like to support Linux as well.
  • It cannot be used when the Internet is not available.
  • I never encountered any problem with this platform.
  • No support for client side encryption. I saw it on their support forum that they have this feature on their list but not yet.
