Axway Managed File Transfer vs. FileCloud

I do not see where you would use this in any other scenarios. It's a purpose built system for sending and receiving data.

FileCloud is well suited for companies who want to utilize a cloud storage system but not use products such as Box or OneDrive. FileCloud allows the company to host everything on their own servers and have full administrative access to everything they need. If you don't have someone to manage a server, or don't need to have the granular admin access, this wouldn't be appropriate.

• If you use Axway SecureTransport with their edge server. The system separates your user accounts from the first point of entry into the system. This is done by creating an edge device in your DMZ that acts only as a proxy to the backend ST server.
• Their support has been really good when you have a questions or issues with the version you are on. They respond pretty quickly to your open cases.
• I also like the fact that their system can be really customizable. This does take a little bit of knowledge of how the system works. I did go to a 4 day class that Axway provided back in version 4.
• They support a wide range of security and automation when it comes to sending/receiving files.
• They have low CVE vulnerabilities and they keep up with the latest security holes that may arise.
• SecureTransport is a pretty solid platform and it's pretty hands off once it's up and running. We did have to tweak a few things regarding the memory allocated to the running services and there are a still few open bugs that are supposed to be released in the next SecureTransport. Those are not causing any issue on our side.
• You can create different templates for your HTTPS sites. This is useful if you have different needs for your customers.

• Access internal file server data from anywhere on the planet with an internet connection.
• Send out emails with expiration dates, password links, and access control.
• Ability to send out attachments that are over the email limits for downloading.
• It integrates with NTFS and Active Directory.
• Integration plugin for Outlook and Office applications.

• I have come a cross several bugs that came up in their new releases, but this is kind of expected given they support a wide range of technologies in terms of B2B transfers or ad-hoc transfers.
• Support is sometimes difficult to communicate with just because of them being out of India. They are responsive and know their stuff when it comes to SecureTransport.

• Updates need to be more apparent to FileCloud Drive
• Uninstall/Reinstall was needed to fix most issues
• Cost

I have not used another product other than SecureTransport. I have only researched to see if there are any alternatives better. Frankly we just don't have the time to invest in switching either. SecureTransport does what it needs to do in our environment.

Their product is actively being updated and has better integration with the Mac platform which Varonis Datanywhere was lacking. In addition, the pricing is substantially cheaper than that compared for Varonis and FileCloud has more capabilities to sync, access, and download the data. Overall the comparison wins by far against one of their competitors.

• Once the system is set up and operational, the only internal support would be to configure new accounts or research failed transmissions. It's really hands off once you have it up and running. It doesn't require a bunch of support or baby sitting.
• We are able to offer new services to our business customers which benefits both sides.

• Allowed us to share our files easily
• Allowed us to manage our cloud shares as we saw fit
• The need to uninstall/reinstall after every other update was a little time consuming
