Not a user-friendly experience Interface: 3 of 5. Customer support: 3 of 5 most days Attitude: 0 of 5 Renewal policy: -5 of 5 They use an unintuitive interface and claim that the security protocols are more important than the user experience. They automatically renew the annual license and offer a ZERO refund policy. To cancel or downgrade, there is a small very small window 30 days before renewal to change the account. Total bunch of jerks.

There were times when i had uploaded an… There were times when i had uploaded an excel spreadsheet to work on and saved it several times, but it never saved to the desktop folder and had to recreate the work. This happened on multiple occassions. But overall, the filing system is still very good. Also, when giving rights to clients, once i have indicated the sub folders should be accessible by client, the system did not allow access to sub or sub-sub folders and i had to go in to the furtherest sub folder and provide access to client.

Worst User Interface Ever I have been in IT over 40 years and the Smart Vault user interface is one of the worst I have ever used. I now own a tax preparation business so we test tried it out on 10 of our clients, not one could successfully upload their documents on the first try. That was enough for us so we cancelled our subscription.

Secure and Reliable platform, has room for continued improvement I've used SmartVault for about 8 years now. I rely on it's security and simplicity for clients to upload sensitive information, and as a long term storage facility for all of my tax and financial planning work. As a result, I have a mobile office setup with no filing cabinets of client documents. SV has made many upgrades to their interface and functionality in the last couple of years. Their implementation isn't always perfectly smooth - I've had some issues with certain features. Their people are mostly very helpful and prompt, but not always. Lastly, the mobile app is very useful, but again could be a little more user friendly. These are the reasons for 4 rather than 5 stars.

You made too many changes this year and… You made too many changes this year and there wasn't enough advanced explanation on how to get things done.
