Excellent features, great value and pricing models, simple for end users.
We use Exavault for many things, but mostly general purpose file sharing. Unlike the "box"-type alternatives, Exavault does not nag users to sign up for an account or download software. We have complete control over what type of experience a recipient has -- whether it be just click on a link to download, enter a password, enter an email and password, etc. This can be set by share.
PROSUser management and permissions are simple but flexible. Training end users is minimal or not required - the UI design is clear and a joy to use. We've used Exavault for over 10 years and they are regularly updating and improving the system. It also works with traditional FTP / SFTP, which is important for some integrations.
CONSNone really, this is a solid product and I recommend considering it.

ExaVault value and multiple Integration options were a
The ability to use ExaVault's web-based interface provided a professional UI to our customers without neededing to stand up a SFTP server of our own or pay for the relatively expensive AWS SFTP service. Also, ExaVaults WebHook/API enabled customer actions in the ExaVault web UI to trigger long-running business processes (step functions) in AWS allowed our dev team to focus on custom customer-specific capabilities. We have not yet white-labeled ExaVault but we will when it becomes a priority. Tech support - when needed - was always quick and effective too.
PROSWhile the value of ExaVault was an important aspect, we really liked the simplicity of the solution and the ability to deeply integrate the service into our business process through the available API.
CONSWe would have liked just a couple more user accounts at the lower tier. For the first 4-6 months of use we needed just one or two additional user accounts but were required to jump up to the next tier to get them.
Reason for choosing ExaVault Cloud FTP
We chose ExaVault over price (inexpensive entry tier), features (web hooks, API) and realized early on that support was exceptional.
Reasons for switching to ExaVault Cloud FTP
AWS Transfer for SFTP was very costly and though it's marketed as a SaaS offering ti still required some administration - something we didn't want to deal with.

Exavault Exponential Price Increase - No Warning
It was great historically, but the pricing games leave a bad taste in my mouth. Any vendor that raises their price 6-12x without proper communication and warning is going to be permanently fired.
PROSEase of receiving files. Historically reasonable pricing (NOT ANYMORE).
CONSThey have raised the price from $20 a month in 2019 to $540 a year in 2020 to $960 a year in 2021 to $3000 a year in 2022. All of this was done without notification or contract signature. CAREFUL what you sign up for with Exavault.
Reason for choosing ExaVault Cloud FTP
At the time they were efficient and priced reasonably. In the process of firing them over their pricing changes.

Excellent FTP service with more features you would think for the price.
Moving to ExaVault was seamless, extremely easy to onboard 50 users, and fantastic over the course of our two-to-three years of using the service. No user complains about the service at all - which is a testament of its quality and ease-of-use!
PROSThe GUI, the fast file upload, the folder sharing and protections, and SFTP features are excellent. The price point for our plan is fantastic considering the quality and amount of features available. Transmission speed, connections, and bandwidth allowances are generous and appropriate.
CONSThe expiration dates for files/folders are not always intuitive. In one situation the fileshare link expired sooner than we would have liked. In other cases, users forget to flag files for deletion and the space utilization sometimes grows without control. I have not found easy ways to increase capacity, so I cannot speak to pricing for additional storage space.
Reasons for switching to ExaVault Cloud FTP
We had been using a so-called best-in-class provider for years, and found bandwidth limitations and size quotas unreasonable and terribly expensive to scale up. It was also a clunky, old-school interface and not at all user-friendly to administer and deploy.

HR/Payroll/WFM Consultants
Ability to share data with clients/partners securely and not use email.
PROSWe implement HR/Payroll solutions from UKG and use Exavault extensively during the implementation process for secure transmission of sensitive data between members of the project team. We give access to client data to our clients and they quickly become adapt at uploading/downloading information. This allows us to remain compliant with both ours and the client security requirements.
CONSWe look forward to the ability to archive users- as we complete a project we revoke the client access and delete their data. We can't archive or remove the users. Another level of access control would be helpful - right now you grant access to a single node of the directory structure- in our case a client - or all. We ideally would be able to grant an individual consultant rights to the clients that they are working on without giving them access to all.

ExavaultReviewByRLA
My over experience is quite positive. I've been using it for about 3 years now.
PROSExaVault is very easy to use while providing very good protection over who accesses the files and folders including the sending of a notification of when someone has accessed a given folder.
CONSThe system only appears to send a single notification when a folder is accessed by the same user. It would preferable if a notification is sent each time a folder is accessed.
Reasons for switching to ExaVault Cloud FTP
I switched to ExaVault because I felt that it was more secure and more intuitive than DropBox.

I would say overall ExaVault has exceeded its expectations and more. Great product and easy to use for all.
PROSWe use ExaVault for Customers that prefer using FTP. ExaVault has done everything expected of it. It's easy to use and above all easy to maintain. Exavault will notify you when a customer has uploaded a file.
CONSI don't know that it had anything I liked least about it. Like any software, if you want more space you pay more money.

Decent FTP with some quirks
Overall the software is a good way to share files with clients and reduces our waste as we no longer print manuals or create CDs to share them.
PROSFairly easy to use as long as you create an organized system for profiles and folders
CONS* The software can be a bit touchy and sometimes has issues when uploading. Would also be nice to be able to drag and drop single file into empty space when folder already has other folders in it. You typically have to click upload as otherwise it tries to make you drop it into an existing folder. * The preview feature is not intuitive and requires clicking the file type (to the left) rather than clicking on the document title (which is used to download the file).

Exavault has been a huge time saver
Exavault provided us with a much needed solution to traditional FTP technology that was more secure, less on-premise hassle and easier to use. This technology now allows us to interact seamlessly with our client base in a secure and reliable manner.
CONSThere is very little about this software we didn't like. As always, price always plays a factor, and although the solution is more expensive than our traditional method, the added value completely makes up for it. They charge a fair price for their services and it's well worth the extra costs.

Excellent SFTP Choice
ExaVault has been a great add for our business. We made the move from an internal SFTP server in a DMZ to a cloud option. This allowed us to further secure our internal network and firewall, and get the admin of an SFTP server off our shoulders. Our multiple clients, some billion $ plus companies, were able to instantly integrate and use the new setup. One client was using out of date technology, and ExaVault support set up several phone meetings to get them up and running, and went above and beyond in doing so.
PROSEase of setup, ease of use, and ability to customize, setup, and segregate different users.
CONSWe haven't really ran into any negatives to this point.
Reasons for switching to ExaVault Cloud FTP
To eliminate an onsite physical SFTP server from our network.

Easy to use, flexible pricing, client-friendly front-end
Extremely user-friendly (I'm not a tech and was easily able to set it up, add new files, folders, users, etc.), cost-effective, plug-in-play type use case. Perfect for low to medium-level users. I'm not a power user, so I can't speak to its use cases there.
PROSEase of use for creating new users, granting user-specific access/permissions, white label optionality, notifications
CONSWould be ideal if total white labeling was a cheaper option, had one isolated issue where a UK-based client (we're US-based) could not access their assigned folders via the website. They could only access directly via a backend connection with the SFTP.

Great Cloud FTP Solution!
It's been very good on the whole, and has allowed us to lock more of our marketplace with FTP integrations with vendors.
PROSWe use ExaVault Cloud FTP for FTP integrations with third-party vendors. It was very easy to setup and has been very reliable. The ability to create a separate account for each vendor, and audit their interactions with the FTP server, has been incredibly useful.
CONSThe one feature we would really like is to be able to set up a custom domain that works with FTPS. At the moment we set up an A Record for our custom domain to forward to ExaVault, but it means our partners get security warnings when connecting because the SSL certificate doesn't match our custom domain.

Terrific Ease of Use
We use ExaVault for transferring files for our radio broadcast. ExaVault has enabled us to move much of the production from our Church to offsite developers. This has saved us both time and money.

I have attempted to use FTPs in the past and found myself more confused by it all than able to effectively use the product. This has not been the case with Exavault.

The best SFTP solution for any company!
Exavault has helped my company have a fast, secure and easy to use SFTP client whenever we need to have data transferred in and out of our network.
