At the lowest cost that still provides value, the trap involves caps such as seats, storage, or transfer limits that you might eventually reach. ExaVault is advantageous because it does not meter these caps, appealing to budget-conscious customers. However, reviews note that pricing may increase upon renewal and that managing many users can be slow, so it&#39;s advisable to test the admin features first.
