My organization transmits many files with many vendors/software applications. Globalscape EFT is configured by the IT department but is utilized throughout the organization. Globalscape EFT is able to call PowerShell scripts and run Advanced Workflows to create the types of files that are required to be imported into or exported from our various applications.
  • Efficient file transmissions
  • Ability to configure files to adhere to third-party application requirements
  • Ability to call PowerShell scripts or Advanced Workflows to format the data in the files
  • Reliability of file transmission
  • 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
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.
  • Efficiency/quick file transmissions
  • Reliability
  • Ease of use
  • Ability to meet file criteria
  • Ability to use PowerShell
  • Globalscape EFT is very reliable
  • Allows us to easily transmit files with customers
  • Allows us to easily meet file requirements of vendors/other software applications
Globalscape EFT is more intuitive and easier to create file transmission rules and troubleshoot than the other software applications we have used in the past or evaluated. Globalscape EFT has the ability to easily locate the status of file transmissions along with the ability to locate what any file transmission issue may be and easily resolve.

We use Globalscape in a twofold approach. First, we use the application to share files with external companies using Globalscape Workspaces and second we use the application to transfer files outbound as well as inbound to our external vendors. Globalscape makes it very easy to create quick transmission logic without the need of a developer.
  • PGP & SSH Key Ring Retainer
  • Reporting
  • Event Rule Create - No Code development
  • Easy account set up for SFTP site directory creation
  • Would like to see if they can incorporate CuteFTP into the EFT bundle
  • Sometime syntax logic has change between version upgrades
  • Reports can be more detailed regarding transmission also grouped by department
I feel the product is best suited for companies that have more that 15 file transmissions. Globalscape has active replication (node) for offloading heavy transmission to another node. If you are not using encryption and your transmissions are less than 15, although the product is capable it may not be worth the investment on return. Globalscape is a very powerful file transmission application it better to leverage all the great facets of security and reliability.
  • Security - Encyrption
  • File Transmission
  • Replication
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
  • Inexpensive
  • Globalscape Support Team is very good at resolving issue
  • The application saves time in preparing and sending files through their Event Rule logic
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.
