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.

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

  • We are able to link cloud accounts with a local account and do encrypted backups of sensitive data. The software allows creating groups for your "tasks" and group scheduling of bulk processing of tasks. The software can backup, do one and two way sync, and create versions (personal favorite!). The versioning system has saved us thousands of dollars in lost productivity due to corrupted/lost files.

Cons

  • The software is a bit overwhelming initially. There are so many options and so many nuances on backing up and syncing data. The interface for selecting the origin folder/drive and destination folder/drive can be confusing particularly if you are using drive letters. (which is why the system recommends using the network address (\\192.168.1.10\myfiles vs the folder address/drive: Z:\Photos
