IP whitelisting allows for specific IP addresses within an organization to be restricted, mitigating potential hazards
There is a requirement to simplify access, particularly for managing large amounts of stored data within Files.com. Instead of navigating through firewall rules, etc., users seek the ability to bypass two-factor authentication when logging in via username and password. Missing this toggle could necessitate recreating the account. Additionally, there's a lack of clarity regarding users under this system, making monitoring challenging. However, Files.com does offer SSO, which addresses many of these concerns. The solution should show more in terms of the way we navigate things like FTP or FTPS with a username/password configuration, if not through SSO. It requires the use of an API key, among other things. There are workarounds and ways to address a few of these issues.

The solution can be used for internal file transfer, but its technical support and third-party integrations should be improved
I am comparing SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server, WS_FTP, and Wing FTP for my current company. We use the solution for multiple purposes, and it should be user-friendly when integrating something. We cannot always depend on the support team to come and fix the issues. Overall, I rate SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server a seven out of ten.
