What do you like best?

Cerberus FTP is simple to use and very reliable for SFTP, FTPS (both implicit and explicit) and SCP. It also has HTTP capabilities, but I haven't used those. I've set Cerberus up on a hosted server and haven't had to touch it since. My client applications make many thousands of successful connections and transfers each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

WebDAV functionality would make it a real all-in-one solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I needed a secure FTP service for windows not embedded in IIS. Cerberus worked great for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?

Cerberus ftp is extremely straightforward to setup even in a complex enterprise environment. The client is lightweight, and uses very few resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

The one fallback is many of the utilities are limited to the enterprise version of the software. We only require the https client, but are required to purchase the full enterprise suite.

You may also only have one Cerberus ftp client open at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Allows file transfer via https interface to drop files on a server for sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
