“Forced to use and hate it”

2.0
May 19, 2022
As a supplier, it is really just an all around awful experience having to use Exostar. The processes and workflows are so clunky, as is the security side. Customer support is no existent and get the sense that they simply don't care about the suppliers.

    Extremely useful, simply a bit confusing to get used to

    Exostar is an immensely useful service for saving and sharing documents within the organisation. It allows for documents to be uploaded and viewed by colleagues anywhere in the world. It means files can be shared larger than the file size allowed in mail, and can be accessed wherever, whenever.

    As a governing investor customer, Exostar is generally very responsive to our solution needs and requirements. While that focus is very valuable to us, I think a broader "big customer" base within our industry would be advantageous to all of us, which may require new varied / tiered marketing strategies. As with many IT providers, there are times when we find their "time to market" on requested capabilities slower than desired... suggesting company growth (and thus resource bandwidth) would be a positive.
