Real companies. Real file flows. Real results.
Switching Is The Scary Part
Almost nobody actually likes their legacy MFT. What stops them from leaving is the switch itself. Swapping the platform a business runs its files on is exactly the kind of change a team dreads: rip out a working system, and find out at go-live what broke.
The disruption risk and the change-management cost are real, and anyone who has lived through a bad migration feels them in their gut. So the question that matters is not whether Files.com is better. It is whether you can get there without it being a disaster.
You Phase It In, You Don’t Rip It Out
You do not have to move everything at once, and you should not. Files.com lands additively: it takes over one workload first, alongside everything you already run, while the old systems stay exactly where they are. You prove it in production on a single flow before anything gets retired.
One platform for the whole stack is the destination, not day one. The plan is one workload at a time, reversible at every step, with nothing torn out before its replacement has earned its place.
What The Move Actually Looks Like
No flag day, no weekend rip-out. The migration is a sequence you control, with the old system live the whole way through.
Run Side By Side
Files.com takes over one workload first, usually the most painful partner feed, while your existing platform keeps running everything else untouched.
Put The Agent On Your Legacy Server
Drop the Files.com Agent onto the same server that already hosts your legacy FTP or MFT. The files become reachable both ways at once, through the old product and through Files.com.
Cut Over One Workflow At A Time
Move workflows on your own schedule, with the legacy path live as a fallback the whole way through. Associated Wholesale Grocers ran exactly this kind of phased, reversible cutover.
Retire The Old Contract At Renewal
The legacy system goes away only after Files.com has proven itself in production. The replacement was happening all along; the renewal just makes it official.
We Run The Migration With You
The migration is a real workstream, not a software download we wave goodbye to. Files.com support engineers handle partner migration, automation rebuilds, and cutover planning as part of the relationship, with no separate professional-services fee and no $500-an-hour consultant queue.
Most teams are moving their first workload in days, not months. Partner onboarding is self-service to the partner, so the manual key-exchange-and-configure project that legacy MFT makes you run for every connection largely goes away.
Get Off Your Legacy Platform
The switch motion is the same for every legacy MFT vendor. Where you want the head-to-head detail, the comparison pages carry it.
Migrate Off GoAnywhere
Replace the on-prem GoAnywhere appliance with a cloud-native platform, one workflow at a time, with nothing to patch.
Files.com vs. GoAnywhereMigrate Off Axway
Bring the same partner exchange Axway runs today onto a managed, cloud-native platform, without the appliance footprint.
Files.com vs. AxwayMigrate Off IBM Sterling
The biggest migrations are Sterling migrations. We run them as a phased, reversible project, not a rip-out, and our team does the work with you.
Files.com vs. SterlingBring Your Renewal Quote
Files.com publishes its pricing publicly, while the legacy vendors require a sales conversation for every quote. If you arrive with a competing quote in hand from Sterling, GoAnywhere, MOVEit, Axway, Globalscape, or OpenText, we will not be undersold.
The biggest cost in legacy MFT usually is not the license anyway. It is the human time, the patching, and the partner-onboarding labor that the move retires along with the appliance.
