Compare Files.com
#1 in Gartner Peer Insights, run by 4,000+ organizations. How Files.com stacks up.
Enterprise MFT Platforms
The established platforms teams run a formal evaluation against, and migrate off.
Files.com vs. GoAnywhere
GoAnywhere is a dated Java app, and it looks it. One reviewer: "It feels old, almost like Notepad — and they have not improved it."
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Globalscape EFT
Fortra owns both Globalscape and GoAnywhere, and leads with the other one. If a migration is coming at renewal anyway, compare the whole category.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. MOVEit
MOVEit is 25-year-old technology with an abysmal security track record, including one of the worst security incidents of all time.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Axway
Axway is built on legacy technology that has been acquired twice. Plus, you need five different products to do what Files.com does.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. IBM Sterling
A generation ago, Sterling was the gold standard. Today it is an outmoded legacy design that takes consulting and entire teams to keep running.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. AWS Transfer Family
AWS named it a family, not a product, for a reason: it is a pile of separate, barely-integrated services you cobble together.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Kiteworks
Kiteworks is a hosted appliance, and an appliance has a ceiling under heavy load. Files.com runs in the cloud on a multi-tenant deployment that scales with you.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Aspera
You don’t need a proprietary protocol to move huge files fast anymore. Files.com is fast because our apps and cloud are built for it.

Cloud SFTP & Lightweight Tools
Smaller, single-purpose, or self-hosted tools teams start with, and outgrow.
Files.com vs. SFTP To Go
Roughly the same price as Files.com Starter, for a single managed SFTP endpoint: no automation engine, no partner channels, 14-day audit retention.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. ShareFile
Built for people sharing documents: no SFTP, no MFT. Files.com does the sharing job on your own domain and carries the machine half too.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Dropbox
Consumer file sync: external users must create an account, files stay on Dropbox’s domain, and there’s no SFTP at all. Files.com does branded sharing on your domain, plus real file transfer.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Egnyte
Hybrid file sharing with an inbound-only FTP endpoint bolted on: no AS2, no key-based SFTP, no partner channels. Files.com is the managed file transfer platform.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. JSCAPE
Markets itself next to the enterprise names, but it’s a dated, on-premise Java server you deploy and patch yourself.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Cerberus FTP
A Windows SFTP server on a VM you manage, with a dated UI and no real cloud, and the price climbed once Redwood bought it.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. CrushFTP
A self-hosted server you patch yourself, with two critical, actively-exploited, CISA-flagged vulnerabilities in two years.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. SolarWinds Serv-U
A transfer server in your data center that you host and patch, with three exploited-in-the-wild flaws on CISA’s catalog. Files.com keeps the hostname your partners trust.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. FileZilla
A good client and a poor process: no scheduler, and the free server can’t speak SFTP. Files.com automates the run and your partners keep their client.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. WinSCP
A Windows desktop client holding up a production pipeline: a script per destination, credentials on one machine. Files.com runs it unattended and encrypts on the way out.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. SFTPGo
Open-source and free, which makes you the server, the support desk, and the compliance team. Files.com is the managed platform.
See The Comparison
Files.com vs. Couchdrop
A browser-only SFTP gateway: no installable apps, no file-server replacement, no AI. Files.com is the File Orchestration Platform.
