  • We no longer waste time re-keying words and making a lot of mistakes.
  • The customer service, however, is really bad to non-existence unless we pull punches by complaining to the vendor who originally brought FileZilla to us.
  • There is, apparently, no technical support from this organization. Thus, if we hire someone who is not familiar with coding parameters and does a copy-paste function from a Microsoft Word document, the person then has to figure out how to get rid of all the macro coding which we don't use. It slows down the entire process which causes our design costs to escalate quickly which we can't, honestly, bill the customer for that error.

  • Price is definitely a positive. The free version of FileZilla handles the vast majority of use cases, and the Pro version is quite affordable if you need the extra integration with filesharing services.
  • Time saved because of the simple user interface is another positive.
  • Time wasted having to re-download is the only negative I've found, but even that is a minor, one time thing. When auto-update works correctly, you don't need to spend any time updating the client.

  • FileZilla is or an FTP application like it is imperative to my business.
  • If there were a way to arrange and deploy backups within FileZilla, that would be a cool add-on for integration to other tools.

  • 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.

  • It's saved us money on consulting fees, which can be at least $100/hr, since we learned how to do it on our own.

  • The fact that FileZilla is free is an immediate advantage over other filesharing applications when it comes to maintaining a tight budget.
  • FileZilla being open-source means that new updates and maintenance are also cost-free.
  • The fact that no licenses are required means zero capital expenditure, another bonus.
