Likelihood to Recommend	Automated Messaging Systems Ltd This platform provided us with exactly what we needed; a file transfer tool that's extremely safe and compliance enhancing. Apart from being feature-packed, the AMS File Transfer platform is affordable, making it suitable to be used even by small businesses. I wholeheartedly recommend this tool to anyone wishing to use a fully-auditable, safe, and GDPR-compliant file transfer tool. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Fortra Globalscape EFT is well suited for file transmissions. It is very intuitive and easy to create file transmission rules. We transmit many files back and forth between vendors and software applications. File transmissions are fast and reliable. Globalscape allows us to specify certain file naming conventions, contain only certain data, format the data to be a specific way, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Automated Messaging Systems Ltd No answers on this topic	Fortra PGP & SSH Key Ring Retainer Reporting Event Rule Create - No Code development Easy account set up for SFTP site directory creation JP Joe Polimeni Integrations Analyst III Read full review
Cons	Automated Messaging Systems Ltd No answers on this topic	Fortra Would like to see the ability for a rule in EFT to link the the Advanced Workflow that it is called (rather than having to manually locate the Advanced Workflow) Would like the ability to disable just a part of an Event Rule Would like to see more template creation functionality Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Automated Messaging Systems Ltd No answers on this topic	Fortra Globalscape and Automate are similar. However, with Automate, you do not have PGP or SSH keyring functionality within the application. You would need to purchase and install them separately. So as far as organization I like Globalscape for key retainment. Globalscape's transmission reporting is a lot better as well. Although it could be enhanced a little more, I use it to report any transmission issues with the Vendors. But the Event Rule functionality that Globalscape has in building simple action logic is where you save a lot of time instead of coding transmissions. Automate does not have active-active replication within their application. Meaning they do not have the ability to have two servers active for off loading transmission in case of bottlenecks. However, if one server goes down, the secondary server will be active. We have both products and don't mind working in either one of them, but Globalscape seems to be the more comprehensive and scalable application JP Joe Polimeni Integrations Analyst III Read full review
