"I have used CyberDuck in the newspaper industry for several years"
4/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

I like how easy it is to upload and download files with CyberDuck. It makes secure file sharing across the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) a breeze. The fact that you can get it as a free program is a bonus. I like how you can upload multiple files and create folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

Sometimes CyberDuck can run slow and it can be difficult to get it to stop doing an action. For example if you accidentally click on the wrong file to download it can take forever to get it to 'stop', especially if it is a large file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cyberduck Review"
5/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

The best thing about this product and my use of the product was the easy use of the product. This product helped me to drop box documents and other assignments to my professors very easily. There were no problems that came along with using the program. If I followed the steps provided by my professor properly and in order, then this was very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

The user interface is very plain and boring. There is not much going on with the program. The good thing about this is that the program gets straight to the point and does everything that it is meant to do without all the extra pizzazz. However, there is not much appeal to the eyes while using this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cyberduck"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

This system allows me to upload files and photos to the server. It breaks files and photos into categories and can have multiple subfolders. The layout resembles the internet structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

Cyberduck has a significant time lag when uploading. Also it often disconnections/times out when uploading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Advanced File Management Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

I've used Putty and Filezilla for a few years then a coworker told me about Cyberduck. When I used it, somehow I liked it much better than other FTP clients. This may be better integration with SSH and SFTP, and the easy on the eyes, visual interface to manage the files.

Simple and Clean - It's pretty much straight forward. You can add your connection (if you wish to save as a "Bookmark"), or enter the server url for a quick connect. You can simply drag/drop files or upload, then do all the basics, Edit, etc.

Choice of Editors - You can choose a default Editor to edit your files.. and not just a native Editor. There are also multiple methods on opening or managing a file, which gives users a variety of options to their convenience. (e.g. For example, when Editing, you can Double click it, right click -> Edit, or click Edit)

There are many View options - You can add columns to view more details about the files. (For example, permissions, groups, etc.).

Interface - The appearance, font, and the way that everything appears make it visibly easier to view. This is important when you're looking at a long list of connections or files to manage.

Last but not only, The logo is cute - This catchy and has absolutely nothing to do with the functionality, but from a web developer's perspective-- this is good Marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

There is one major thing I noticed.. either the feature is not available or perhaps I'm not familiar to the hidden features. However, I've googled forums on this, and it seems several people are also seeking the same thing, but there's only partial solutions or the feature is not available.

Typically when I SSH, open the file via sudo to Edit via external Editor, I am able to save it. With cyberduck, even though I have all the sudo permissions necessary, I am unable to save my edits until I manually change the permissions for both group and ownership to my user. This is a major inconvenience, if I need to Edit multiple files and need to keep the same permissions. It is challenging to keep track of the permissions I change temporarily.

But it may be that all SFTP clients may be like this so far if I recall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hard to set up, but uploads are quick"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

Once the set up is done it is easy to upload data and is secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

Bookmarks often disconnect, which is really annoying since we need a pass code to connect. Set up is a pain. Still can't get it to work with my CRM integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cyberduckf or SSH and SFTP"
4/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

I like the way it works. It makes it super easy for me to browse directories through SFTP. It also gives an option to edit a code/document saving the hassle of downloading the file, editing it and loading on the server.

It also enables me to SSH into a remote IP which comes in very handy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

At times when I try to SFTp or SSH to an IP address, Cyberduck would change a couple and IDs and then try and open it. Obviously, it doesn't go through and I have to retype the whole thing.

It reaches a point when the downloads folder is full and if you try and download something new, Cyberduck will terminate the connection and stop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Without fail, my go-to FTP software"
5/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

Quick load, separate screen to watch uploaded/downloaded files that can be cleared, ability to save sites as bookmarks for quick reference, ability to open multiple connections in multiple windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

Sometimes I have to hit the refresh button to verify my files uploaded and to actually see them in the file structure, though I'm not positive that isn't sometimes due to a slow internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Software - Can Be Buggy"
4/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

It's great for developers, as it doesn't overload the UI with too much of "User Anticipation". It's very good at remembering your account set ups and I only ever have to enter them once, which sadly has not been the case with many others! I live the download and upload functionality, it simply does it to a folder you select and it remembers your default, on other similar tools I kept opening file up by mistake when I just wanted to download them. It's really good that I can use so many types of file server and I don't have to switch for S3 / SFTP etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

It can be buggy at times, crashes every so often and can have inconsistent upgrade quality. I don't know why this is, perhaps the testing isn't great. I use it on a MacBook Pro. Due to the buggyness I only recommend this to my tech-y friends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid file transfer app"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

Broad support for multiple services (Azure, S3, Google Cloud, Dropbox, etc etc) and good performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

Not too much to dislike! If what you want is a solid file transfer app with support for multiple services, Cyberduck is a great option for Windows and Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buggy System "
1/5
What do you like best about Cyberduck?

Unfortunately, the best thing about CyberDuck is that it's free. I also like that it's available for both Mac and PC (although the functionality is inconsistent between the two). The interface is also pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cyberduck?

I have two main issues with Cyberduck: 1) it's buggy. 2) it works differently on Mac vs. PC. I've used CyberDuck on both Mac and PC, and there are things that I can do on a PC that I can't do on a Mac (at least on the version I was using). For example, I tried to change file/folder permissions on a Mac, but CyberDuck wouldn't let me. I had to switch to my Remote Desktop and change the permissions on the PC version.

I've encountered a few bugs while using CyberDuck. Most of the time I was able to find a workaround, but then I hit a wall where it was just unusable, so I decided to buy a paid-app that actually offered support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
