I would definitely recommend it to other people. I would definitely recommend it in terms of the user interface that IBM has today and the support model they have because I have not come across such a good support model in different integration spaces. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.
I would recommend IBM Sterling File Gateway to organizations. For newcomers, my advice would be to get proper knowledge transfer . You can start working from the first day with side-by-side KT. It's helpful to practice using the tool in a UAT or development environment to get familiar with it. I rate it an eight out of ten.
The time required to learn to use the tool depends on the level you want to use it. The tool's use can be learned in one or two weeks, but generally, you need a lot of generic knowledge. To be able to completely work on the tool, you would need several months. The biggest advantage of the tool is that it acts as a centralized solution for all the different protocols. From our company, we are using, but not directly installing, the IBM Sterling File Gateway. However, we are using the basic protocols with it. One needs to have a lot of knowledge to use the tool. You need to read a lot of documentation, participate in the community, and do several other things. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
Some partners may not have the budget or other resources to use this product, but it’s important to highlight the security levels we offer with IBM Sterling File Gateway. We provide robust security features like password authentication, public key authentication, and, when using the AS2 protocol, certificate authentication. This ensures that we can securely transfer large volumes of data. I highly recommend this product for its comprehensive visibility features. For instance, if a file gets stuck, we can quickly identify and resolve the issue. This visibility is crucial for monitoring and troubleshooting file transfers, ensuring a seamless process. Additionally, I can educate partners using FastTrack on how to leverage these benefits effectively. I will guide them through the process, emphasizing the advantages of using IBM Sterling File Gateway, particularly the ease of handling major issues. Once implemented, the system operates smoothly and will only be impacted if there are changes. It is easy to understand, though it might present some complications that could be challenging for beginners. Even newcomers can grasp it with some time and effort. The self-help tools and visibility features enhance the learning experience, making it easier for users to navigate and utilize the system efficiently. IBM Sterling File Gateway involves multiple levels of encryption. We employ various encryption methods to ensure data security. This provides a robust security level. It is an excellent product used by many companies and clients. We have been using it for a long time, and it provides a seamless process that is easy for users to understand. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

There are solutions like GoAnywhere or Axway where the usability and flexibility is so easy. SFG has a legacy we have to deal with. I know they have pretty big clients and are one of the prime vendors. I'm not talking about the latest version of SFG, I haven't had a chance to look at it. If what they promise is correct, it might be a big improvement. I would rate this product a two out of 10.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this solution as a ten-out-of-ten. In the past, it seems the whole industry adopted this solution because it was the leader in the field. Whether their whole architecture will be adaptable enough for the cloud is something that needs to be studied further.
The only limitation of this solution is that you have to pay to expand it, other than that it's stable and flexible. Plan your upgrades very carefully, and go through the documentation. It's a fairly stable product, but there are always other products on the market. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because it's a bit complex, not so simple. It's one product but there are many screens.
