Explore Plans and Start Trial of Higher-Tier Plans

Egnyte enables its customers to explore and start a trial of higher-tier plans directly from within the product as part of its in-product self-serve capabilities. 

The Explore Plans page builds on the existing self-serve trial add-ons feature by enabling customers to discover, compare, and trial features from higher plans on their current domain before committing. 

With this, customers can try premium features, decide on upgrades at their own pace, and start using advanced capabilities immediately without waiting for sales approvals.
