Kyle Titus

Chief Technology Officer at Revio

Always works, handles all types of load, and allows us to have S3 files as storage

Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops. There could be client software that you use to connect to the server. Generally, AWS doesn't provide one for you, so you have to use either your CLI, maybe your SSH CLI, or use some kind of desktop solution. I had to find a desktop app from a third party to run this. Our clients also do the same everywhere else, so it would be nice if the SFTP Gateway solution came with a client that anyone could download on their Mac, Windows, or any other machine.

Fast file transfers, good security, and helpful automation

Installation and configuration of JSCAPE is a bit complicated, providing the proper document helps to understand the tool and gain more knowledge on its features. The pricing of the JSCAPE MFT server seems higher considering some smaller businesses with a limited amount of budgets. To make it easier, the admin log and reporting system should be improved. I would appreciate it if the help and support team could more actively assist the users to resolve their Issues. Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Being able to have the S3 files as storage is most valuable. We can use S3 as storage instead of an SFTP server or a machine."

"The solution offers good data recovery."

"The solution has helped with collaboration in our organization."

"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."

"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."

"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."

"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."

"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."

"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."

"Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."

Cons

"Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."

"The tool's UI should be pretty easy and straightforward. I would also like to see a simple audit report of the SFTP guest account that shows the amount of data transfers and security kind enabled."

"Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers."

"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."

"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."

"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."

"The GUI has to be enhanced."

"The FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."

"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."

"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."

"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance. If we had to build it by hand, we would win on cost there, but obviously, there is effort and time. In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
