Files.com on the IT Xpo Stage 4 at Gartner IT Symposium, with Equifax on the global cloud transformation that runs on Files.com.
Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo is the biggest CIO gathering in the world â more than 7,000 IT executives in one place, setting next year’s strategy. Since 2023, almost every regulated CIO here has gotten the same question from their board: "are we exposed on file transfer?" For the teams running Sterling, MOVEit, GoAnywhere, or Axway, the honest answer is "we’re patching it, not fixing it."
Files.com is the fix. On Gartner Peer Insights — the reviews a CIO trusts because they come from other CIOs — we’re #1 in Managed File Transfer on both number of reviews and rating. We’re SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA BAA, and GDPR DPA, and we run as a service across eight storage and compute zones. No server to patch. The same product those reviewers picked is on the floor in front of you.
Three questions every regulated IT leader brings to the booth, and how Files.com answers each.
Files.com is #1 in Managed File Transfer on Gartner Peer Insights, on both number of reviews and rating — 4.5 stars across more than 90 reviews, ahead of Progress MOVEit, GoAnywhere, and Axway. 55% of those reviews are five stars. The CIOs who wrote them are the same ones walking this floor.
Sterling, GoAnywhere, MOVEit, and Axway run file transfer in most enterprises today — and became the problem after MOVEit got breached. Files.com runs as a service. There’s no server for you to manage, we patch it for you, and it’s SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA BAA, GDPR DPA, and multi-region. It’s the modern managed file transfer your board is already asking about.
CIOs are cutting vendor count in 2026. Files.com customers say it in their own words: it "replaces legacy file servers, SFTP infrastructure, and scripts with a unified platform." One system instead of seven half-fixes, in front of every partner, every region, every audit.
Not the whole product — the parts a board-pressured IT leader actually shortlists on.
CEOs want fewer vendors in 2026, not more. IT leaders ask what a single platform can retire: the old MFT tool, the home-grown transfer scripts, the standalone SFTP servers, the file share with no audit trail. Files.com replaces all of it — one platform, one bill, one audit trail in front of every partner and every region.
SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA BAA, and GDPR DPA from day one, plus an audit trail that can’t be altered and streams straight into Splunk or Sentinel. That’s the record that answers the board when they ask “are we exposed on file transfer?” See the full list on the compliance page.
The legacy four all work the same way: a server you run, an admin login exposed to the internet, slow patching, and the occasional zero-day to ride out at 2 a.m. Files.com flips that. We own the patching, the admin login, and the part an attacker would aim at — not you.
Legacy MFT runs $200K to $500K a year once you count the server, the consultants, and the team to run it. Files.com publishes its pricing in the open, and we won’t be undersold against a Sterling, MOVEit, GoAnywhere, or Axway quote.
Files.com is the enterprise platform 4,000+ organizations rely on, in production for 15+ years, with Equifax, Michelin, Cognizant, and Banner Health as customers. Most teams start by running one workload alongside their old MFT, then expand at renewal — no forced rip-and-replace.
A CIO isn’t buying a file-transfer feature. They’re deciding whether file transfer stays a tangle of servers, scripts, and SFTP boxes — each one its own thing to secure, patch, and audit — or becomes one platform the security and compliance teams can actually keep track of.
Files.com is built for the second answer. It’s the file orchestration platform that pulls the transfers, the automations, the partner onboarding, and the audit trail onto one place — so cutting vendor count is a real result, not a slide. Bring a competing legacy-MFT quote and we won’t be undersold.
If “modernize file transfer” is on your 2026 board agenda — or about to be — let’s talk. Or start a free trial and try the platform yourself first.
