Excellent Functionality Effortlessly Delivered
We use Filestack as a file uploader on our web and iOS apps. It works as promised. It is reliable and easy for our users to manage. FileStack got us started quickly with the conversion of our files. It was very easy to integrate with their APIs, and their conversion rate was excellent. As very flexible you can use your storage or your AWS bucket or [another service] to keep your files uploaded.
- Easy to use
- Easy to integrate
- Very reliable
- Multiple devices are supported
- Tricky to navigate at first
- No dashboard for the file conversion
- Their script download used to fail on occasion

- Ease of implementation
- Software works flawlessly
- Multiple Gateways
We were using Sucuri previously and we had a lot of problems with it, so we switched to Filestack and FileStack has made it possible to connect to cloud resources to download faster and easier. We were given a job to do the same thing that would take a ton of time and money, and it would not be so good. We are very excited to try more with what FileStack has to offer.

- Cloudinary and Akamai
Ease of integration [was] that we had developers who were familiar with implementing Filestack. It also decreased the dependency and load of our Developers since the implementation instructions are fairly straightforward. Filestack is excellent at what it does (asset management) and Cloudinary/Akamai is primarily used to serve content and decrease latency as CDNs.
