Easy setup and secure transfers. The user interface is intuitive, making it straightforward to manage file transfers. I appreciate the seamless integration with S3 and EFS, which simplifies workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, for smaller businesses, the costs can add up quickly, so a more flexible pricing model would be beneficial as pricing can be high for small users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It supports SFTP, FTPS, and FTP, so you can integrate with partners or legacy systems without rewriting workflows. Recently, it also added support for Amazon S3 and EFS backends, making it easier to modernize storage while still speaking old protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You pay for each endpoint per hour, regardless of usage. If you need multiple endpoints (say SFTP + FTPS), costs add up even if traffic is light. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Transfer Family makes it simple to securely transfer files directly into Amazon S3 or EFS using SFTP, FTPS, and FTP protocols. Its seamless integration with IAM and CloudWatch enables granular access control and robust monitoring. The service is highly reliable and scalable, allowing smooth onboarding of external partners without managing infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup and configuration for authentication and user roles can be slightly complex, especially when integrating with custom identity providers. Also, the pricing can become expensive for high volumes of file transfers if not monitored carefull Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find AWS Transfer Family easy to set up and use, especially with its simple file fragmentation process for uploading large files. Its stability and security features are impressive, providing immense value in managing and securing data. The availability and backup capabilities further enhance my workflow management.

I don't like the pricing structure of AWS Transfer Family, specifically the fixed hourly pricing and the per-gigabyte transfer fee for each server point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how seamlessly AWS Transfer Family integrates with S3 and IAM. It gives me secure file transfers without having to manage servers or worry about scaling. The multi-protocol support (SFTP, FTPS, FTP) makes it really flexible for different clients and partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can feel a bit complex, especially when configuring IAM roles and permissions. Also, the pricing model could be more straightforward, since costs can add up with data transfers at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is scalable and it is secure. You don't need to manage your FTP servers on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regional unavailabilities so globally it faces deployment limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like about AWS Transfer Family that it has seamless integration with Amazon S3 and support for secure, protocol-based file transfers (SFTP, FTPS, FTP) without the need to manage infrastructure. It offers a fully managed, scalable, and highly available solution that fits perfectly into modern cloud architectures, allowing teams to focus on core workflows instead of operational overhead.

I did not liked the initial set up as its complex. It requires familiarity with IAM policies, S3 bucket permissions, and endpoint configurations. Also, the UI for monitoring and managing transfer is less intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to just configure and go the ability to monitor the logs, very convenient. I also like that I don’t need to maintain the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess one thing is the cost can creep up if you are not careful for long running transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation is easy as it is straightforward, and file access becomes very simple with the console for transferring files to S3. Making the overall integration with other AWS resources convenient, for example, AWS lambda triggers on new file uploads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In case of high volume of small files, it is surprisingly expensive compared to a single low-cost EC2 SFTP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Okay so this is a great one, I used this in the past to implement some great solutions for pulling in the invoices and uploading it to the S3 bucket. I was on a free tier though, and I somehow triggered something which billed me a lot. ( They are not great about putting asterisks on limits and have a separate page for it, but otherwise great service). Why I mentioned this is because Amazon took this as a mistake and refunded me the charge which is amazing. Also, if you are admin like myself, you can monitor every piece of log, date of upload, username, and every activity under Amazon CloudWatch and you can access it using any SFTP client which is so amazing. Just open port 22 and you are good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation on free tier that what is free and what not is not great. You can get charged a lot, but if you are integrating this to an actual environment, it saves a lot of hassles. It can also be confusing sometimes and is not very easy to use. Once you are setup, you are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
