Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • What I like most about this is the ease of use. Folder structure is great and, for the most part, intuitive for users. Setup is also easy. And the UI is easy to navigate.
  • Clear product offering and service! Easy to use, versatile and flexible. We have dozens of users running and using ExaVault. We're based in the EU and trust ExaVault.
  • Being cloud based it was quick and simple to get up and running, providing us with immediate access to FTP/SFTP/HTTP storage. The user interface is a clean web-based GUI that makes it easy to add multiple users, configure them for SSH and set their home directory.
  • Easy to setup with a great GUI. We have scheduled FTP jobs running every hour and the uptime is amazing. We have hardly had any service alarms at all during 2 years of use.
  • Flexible, adaptable, easy to scale. The flexibility to use either web interface or a traditional FTP clients gives a lot of ease to either simple users who need to interact with it as well as more technical users who prefer FTP applications.

Cons

  • The ability to share out seems a bit clunky at times and all the features don't always seem to work as expected. The other con I would identify is that the cost is a bit high, particularly for a nonprofit.
  • The UI is nice, but is occasionally a bit clunky. It's no big deal however as the majority of our users use the service via an SFTP client.
  • The only thing that I would say is sometimes we have been unable to upload files in the middle of the night, we are assuming that this is due to maintenance but it would be nice to have an e-mail to let us know if this is planned so we can put in our log system.
  • I have nothing negative to remark. The service has been working flawlessly since day one.
  • Some of the reporting is lacking. Especially for elements that retain to billing, such as transactional usage. However, it can still be requested and received from them, but is missing a few minor details.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • It makes our file sync to the other branch seamless. Once I got the configuration done on the server, I rarely need to get in to check / monitor / change anything. Yes, for the first couple of years I did monitor it from time to time but after a while, there is really no need to do that.
