FileZilla is a file transfer protocol (FTP) solution.
Creative Director at Lake Superior Christian Church (Religious Institutions, 1-10 employees)
Chose Cyberduck
I've found other FTP clients, like FileZilla, to be more cumbersome and less user-friendly. The interface of Cyberduck is more "simplified." For a power user, this may seem "dumbed down," but for me, it's struck a fantastic balance of usability and power. Plus, at the price, …

Chose Cyberduck
FileZilla and WinSCP are the two main alternatives to Cyberduck within my organization, and really the two main freeware competitors that I know of. Cyberduck is suited for those without a high level of technical background, and as one might guess, is also the easiest to use …

Chose Cyberduck
While these other tools I've used will get the job done, neither of them were (a) as easy to set up and configure as Cyberduck, and (b) were as effective at ongoing management of files with my remote server. I think it's because Cyberduck has very specific configurations that …

Chose FileZilla
We've been using FileZilla for so long that we've really never had to try any other FTP software. We did for a bit use Cyberduck FTP on some Mac devices. Cyberduck worked fine, but we always revert to using FileZilla where we can because it is the industry standard of file …

Chose FileZilla
I've tried so many FTP clients over the years I've lost count. WinSCP, FireFTP, CuteFTP, SmartFTP, Cyberduck, WS_FTP, and countless others. They all offer pretty competitive features. I do find WinSCP to have some extra features that I like, such as better SSH and SFTP support, …

Chose FileZilla
Cyberduck isn't as intuitive as FileZilla thus I tend to go with what's the most simple and effective. I also chose FileZilla due to how reliable it is and the fact that it rarely crashes if ever.

Chose FileZilla
WinSCP is not listed, but that is the main alternative to FileZilla at my company. Both are similar in functionality and capabilities. FileZilla is more user-friendly, although WinSCP is more advanced user-friendly. FileZilla is easy to use when exchanging files between …

Our data being the primary operational product has been managed effectively by this software. It is best suited in storing data in our cloud servers and transferring files across our company. It is easy and flexible to work with this product. It provides end to end encryption of data promoting data safety and transfer. Compatibility with our operating system is effective and all services have been great.

I use FileZilla to securely upload files that are not permitted to be sent via insecure methods like email or web forms. FileZilla is great to test the ability to "reach" the remote SFTP server and to verify my files arrived. Once I have tested that, then our internal IT group automates the uploads to these third parties, however I can always manually log into FIleZilla to verify the uploads.

Strips away unwanted underlying code from products that produce documents using any Microsoft product that is not needed in our products.
The nice part is that it strips away hidden code such as ctrl and another digit that is not necessary or can be replaced with the correct coding to produce standard processes such as graphics using ANSI or another protocol as well as line feeds and header masks.
We are in the process of determining if their pro product will function in the way we want it to across networks rather than going to each workstation to make changes decreasing our productivity.
We are also evaluating whether their technical support is responsive.
It could be a lot easier to grab a download link. Currently you have to right-click, scroll to "Copy URL," and then pick your desired version of the download URL. There are WAY too many options, and it makes it difficult. I have never needed any option other than the HTTPS version of the URL. So it's overly complicated when it doesn't need to be.
There are at times completely unnecessary alert messages that pop up. Usually when connecting to a server to upload a file it will pop up a message that says the connection has been verified and it's safe to continue uploading. It's really unnecessary and annoying to have to dismiss it every time.
I think the UI could be a little less cramped. Everything is so close together--really feels like a dated UI. If items were just a bit more spaced out, it would improve the UI significantly.

Some of it's user interface could be a bit better designed (at least updated) to more of a modern look, but it's not really that big of a deal.
Inside the software it shows you various windows all embedded in one box. Moving the sizes of those windows around is a bit weird, especially if you just want of the windows to go away.
From time to time it can hang due to a timeout with the server connection. In those instances, I wish FileZilla would give you a heads up as to why it locked.

I really like the basic interface and folder like structure. It makes me feel like I'm in a regular folder window on my Mac. Navigation is simple. The toolbar is customizable to be able to add or remove icons to improve the simplicity and ease of use of the application. The app is very simply designed, which I appreciate.

FileZilla is really easy to understand and makes it easy to log into servers to upload files. Moving files around is a breeze (even if it's a little tedious to wait for large quantities to move one by one) and editing html and css files directly is a feature it would be difficult for us to live without

I've never contacted FileZilla support directly, but they are so popular that there are countless tutorials online showing how to connect to any number of web servers, how to configure SSH/SFTP and so on. I feel that because of the popularity of FileZilla, the support from the general user community is sufficient.

FileZilla and WinSCP are the two main alternatives to Cyberduck within my organization, and really the two main freeware competitors that I know of. Cyberduck is suited for those without a high level of technical background, and as one might guess, is also the easiest to use and navigate. FileZilla and WinSCP are both easier to use when it comes to key storage and SSH configuration, but these are tasks that our IT department does on Cyberduck for users with less technical knowledge. By us doing these tasks, the end business user is able to utilize a simple tool for their needs.

Both perform the job they are expected to do, and they are easy to use. The FileZilla software is a desktop-based app, so I can only access it on the device on which it was installed. Cisco Secure Email allows you to send emails as you would normally, but the email and attachments are secure.

The positive impact is easy file management. Since we have multiple clients some of them have different host providers which offer their own FTP interface. Using FileZilla allows us to use one interface to interact with all of our client files.
The return on investment is quick turnaround for updating files.
