"Easy to use external FTP site"
5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

We've found this site quite easy to use, valuable and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

Userids must be unique throughout the Exavault universe instead of just unique at a company level.

Can only assign one home folder. I've had to create a separate userid to give someone access to another folder not within their home folder view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A reliable FTP service"
5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

We are using ExaVault service for some years now and we had none problems with the service. Maybe one or two tickets that were resolved quickly by the support team.

They have a nice dashboard to configure the different accounts, users, folders, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

I think the one thing that at first sight is a bit confusing is the different dashboards for the client area and FTP area, where if you are a first time user you might find a bit strange given you have only one login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Merging FTP and Automation"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

-Powerful API features and webhooks to automatically capture and process new file uploads.

-Web-based management on top of automation capabilities

-Seems to have good, US-based customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

-Lots of service outages during normal business hours without advance notice which has created a lot of headaches for us, especially within the last 6 months or so.

-We had to re-write a lot of API calls due to notice late last year of the deprecation of their previous API version only to later find out that they decided to postpone the deprecation of the previous version of their API, which was super frustrating. Why deprecate old API versions, when you can just stop supporting them instead? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ideal Cost-Effective Solution for Law Firm Receiving/Sending Large Files"
5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

Ease of use. Very reasonable cost. Permits us to include firm logo and colors, which reinforces the brand, has professional look, and gives clients more comfort that files are coming from the firm. Like that the domain clients see includes our firm's domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

Nothing that I dislike. However, doesn't have as many features as some competitive services. However, (1) we do not need any more features than what ExaVault offers and (2) don't want to pay the extra price that would come with more comprehensive solutions.

"A feature rich cloud based MFT for businesses of all sizes"
5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

I like the fact that all the setup is handled by Exavault within seconds of signing up, there is no messing around with installing OSes, FTP servers and configuring things - it is just ready to begin setting users up and transferring files. It offers FTP, SFTP and HTTP/S file transfers and has a clean web GUI that can be used to upload/download files. They have excellent support which responds within a very short space of time to requests for assistance and their pricing is extremely competitive compared to other solutions.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

There is nothing to dislike about Exavault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sold out. Tripling prices."
0/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

I used to be able to use Exavault as a secure place to store the encrypted backups of my customers data. i could organize all my individual backup sets into customer folders, and jump on yesterdays data if a customer reported a problem. The availablity to see the data from anywhere I happen to be, and the ease of setting up automated inbound transfers using sqlbackupandftp used to be its most prominent feature. Now they have sold out to files.com and the monthly cost *TRIPLED*. Searching for a more cost effective alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

I'd like a few more included sets of credentials, but I can work with what I have., I'd also like the price to stay at $50 a month, not $150. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from David Ordal of ExaVault

Michael, we’re sorry that you aren’t happy with ExaVault’s pricing. We believe that ExaVault has the best pricing in the MFT and FTP categories on G2. Unlike most vendors, ExaVault’s pricing is publicly posted on G2 and on our website. We are happy to enter into multi-year contracts. We are also happy to go month-to-month. We certainly aren’t a fit for every use case. We hope that you’ll reconsider ExaVault if your needs change. Thanks again for your business.

"Best virtual FTP."
5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

The system is user-friendly and straightforward to use. I have been able to set users up in minutes without the need for in-depth training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

It would be great if one could reactivate an expired link to a file that was previously sent to someone. Also, it would be great if we could activate 2-step authentication to confirm the identification of recipients of files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"10 Years of Reliable Service"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ExaVault?

We've been using Exavault for ten years, and they've been a solid provider throughout our relationship. Their interface is flexible without being complex; our department leads can easily manage our customer folders without the assistance of IT. They can assign permissions, set notifications and negotiate inbound and outbound traffic confidently. Their support has always been very responsive, even though we're not a huge client. Recently they were able to restore our entire transfer structure after a new employee mistakenly deleted everything. Their service has allowed us to be highly aware of customer traffic and react immediately to their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ExaVault?

We wish they had more capability in customizing notifications and site messaging, but that's a small price to pay for their stability. Occasionally their plans to upgrade services conflicted with our production schedules, but that's the luck of the draw. Services were restored in a timeframe that minimized the impact on our production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
