SmartVault is a file syncing and sharing option from the Houston based company of the same name.
We find eFileCabinet to be more secure than the alternative products we were using at the time, around 5 years ago. The system is far more robust and better suited the large number of files we needed to store, plus the amount of security and restrictions we needed to be able to …
IBM Aspera on Cloud is the most effective and reliable platform for large file transfers. The transfer process is highly secured with end-to-end encryption to enhance data safety. It streamlines data management infrastructure with full data visibility and team controls. Sharing data across different geographical locations with my colleagues enables me to monitor workflows and intercept bottlenecks that can affect performance.
eFilecabinet is the best bang for the buck Digital Document Storage Solution that will replace your Physical File Cabinets in your office and lead you down the paperless digital path. With this price point comes some hiccups and speed bumps that you need to be aware of (broken software due to updates from time to time, missing features, confusing interface due to multiple ways to access your data, etc), but once you find work arounds to these items, you will see how powerful efilecabinet is.
SmartVault sends out a cover letter with the tax returns that includes a link for them to download their tax returns, avoiding the insecurity of an email attachment. It does not include a statement retrieval feature but does work very nicely with a third-party app called FileThis. The majority of the users in the office have not been able to install the Outlook plug-in due to "a certificate error." In five years, SmartVault has not addressed this issue.
It helps transfer files at high-speed using its technology which adjusts speed based on network.
It also has automatic file transfer which is amazing since one doesn't have to wait and find the file then send it.
IBM Aspera on Cloud offers centralized file sharing which means one can create workspace for a specific team and doesn't need to put manual efforts to share something specific.
eSignature integration has been a game changer four our organization. The simplification of obtaining client signature on necessary documents through this system has virtually eliminated our need for physically mailing documents to clients.
With our documents hosted by eFileCabinet, our team has increased capability to work from home/while on the road without needing to take along physically paperwork.
The search function that allows for on-page searching has been extremely useful when we're looking for older documents that we can't quite recall the title of.
An scope for improvement would be if IBM Aspera on Cloud allowed users to preview files (especially larger videos or images ) before tranfer and also can include a 2nd verification before sending files to reduce chances of errors .
In our Organzation we have three regional offices with different fireball configurations . The first time we tried transferring media files around 30 gb from our office other , it failed initially because certain ports were not open and permissions had to be adjusted in multiple steps .But once configured , transfers were quick .So setting up multiple remote office with varying network conditions can be confusing especially for new users .
1) It works. 2) Is is secure 3) It is fast It provides firms the ability to communicate with vendors other clients and new clients in a way that will help you grow your business. In our business, flies are getting larger larger and can hold companies back in their overall business goals.
We do not have any issues with eFile Cabinet. It has become just part of our daily life - finish files and projects and save all the documentation here. Need to research? Find it in eFile. I personally cannot imagine my job without it.
The interface is very pleasing and so easy to use. I have never used a program that was so simple and so effective. Other programs have too many unnecessary features and make everything really daunting and then you just go elsewhere. IBM Aspera is perfect for easy transfers with minimal features.
eFileCabinet gets the job done and is fairly easy to use once you find a few workarounds and understand how the software works. Using the browser interface next to the desktop sidekick app is needed when it should all be included in a single app. Users always wonder "why do I have to open both the browser and the sidekick interfaces to do a simple task". Basically one does what the other doesn't do and Sidekick is needing to be open regardless for the printer/scanner upload functions, but is limited on what you can do compared to the browser interface. The mac Sidekick is still in beta and makes me wonder how much longer it will be supported or updated...
The software loads very quickly, their servers are great. The software can be a tad buggy or quirky at times but it gets the job done which is why it's an 8 out of 10 rating. Their desktop printer and scanner software could use an update so that windows updates don't break it from time to time too.
The support from IBM is fast and reliable. Very knowledgeable engineers provide you with the support on Aspera. We had a very good experience when opened tickets and we were able to get our issues resolved quickly. Most solutions are provided within a day so you can expect a quick turnaround time. Overall, the support has been very good.
It makes workflow so much easier, including the ability to save in the cloud makes it accessible from anywhere. I save very little on our server now which means this also makes filing more secure. I literally save and research via the platform several times a day.
Reaching someone is more difficult than it should be. Also, they don't take possession of known issues always suggesting it is a local PC issue in initial conversations. That, of course, can be frustrating for the end-user.
The service provided by the authorized vendor was excellent. It was a good collaboration between the vendor IT team and internal IT team. They provided us with a timeline and we verified and approved that timeline. Daily stand ups and weekly meetups were conducted to update the internal team on progress. They were able to deliver all deliverables on time also, they conducted both alpha testing and beta version testing in time. Overall, they were able to complete the implementation in the given timeline.
These cloud storage products deliver sufficient space to store data and access and have an array of ways to transfer this data and keep it secure. IBM Aspera on Cloud focuses on the transfer and makes it a lot faster mainly due to its patented tech and altered UDP protocol. Since most of production code uses IBM services, it was natural to go with IBM Aspera on Cloud.
We find eFileCabinet to be more secure than the alternative products we were using at the time, around 5 years ago.

It is an outstanding product. It is proven and works well. IBM has thought of everything as the product works well and it can scale. I highly recomend this product.
Pay only for the number of users you need. I needed 2, so I pay for 2. Other DMS programs come with up to 5 users and charge accordingly. This gives me the flexibility to grow my business at my rate - not someone else's.
