My Experience with EFT using Globalscape!
Rating: 9 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Globalscape in a twofold approach. First, we use the application to share files with external companies using Globalscape Workspaces and second we use the application to transfer files outbound as well as inbound to our external vendors. Globalscape makes it very easy to create quick transmission logic without the need of a developer.
Pros
- PGP & SSH Key Ring Retainer
- Reporting
- Event Rule Create - No Code development
- Easy account set up for SFTP site directory creation
Cons
- Would like to see if they can incorporate CuteFTP into the EFT bundle
- Sometime syntax logic has change between version upgrades
- Reports can be more detailed regarding transmission also grouped by department
Likelihood to Recommend
I feel the product is best suited for companies that have more that 15 file transmissions. Globalscape has active replication (node) for offloading heavy transmission to another node. If you are not using encryption and your transmissions are less than 15, although the product is capable it may not be worth the investment on return. Globalscape is a very powerful file transmission application it better to leverage all the great facets of security and reliability.
