Strategist Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/31/2016 "Fetch - best FTP client for Mac!" 5/5 What do you like best about Fetch Softworks? Fetch has a beautiful, simple, friendly user interface that hasn't changed much in the 15 years I've been using it. It's incredibly easy to navigate to different parts of a server, upload, download, rename, delete - all the things you need to use FTP for. It's also super fast and very reliable (no dropped connections). I have to admit that I love the little running dog! I've tried other FTP clients for Mac but I keep coming back to Fetch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks? Doesn't support multiple simultaneous uploads, as far as I can tell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks: If you have Macs, Fetch is the best FTP software you can find. For the capability and usability, the price is well worth it. Try it for free for 15 days and you'll be convinced. It's been around since 1989 and continues to improve with added features and better UI. You'll love the dog, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you? I need to upload and share media files via our server, as well as uploading files and images for our website. Using our hosting company's web UI was clunky and slow. Fetch lets me upload and download quickly and to the exact location I want. It also allows me to access style sheets and other backend files easily. It's saved me time and headaches. And it's the easiest FTP software for other people to learn, too - I taught my whole office of non-tech folks to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fetch is easy to use even if you are a first time user. Everything is intuitive and there aren't any unnecessary bells and whistles. I love the drag and drop, it makes everything very quick and easy. Downloads and uploads are a breeze. I can feel comfortable recommending this product to a computer novice because it is so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks? The only minor annoyance is that sometimes that when the upload is complete there is no alert that it is complete, so if you are not at your desk it can be hard to tell if the upload was successful because after a period of time it disconnects. I understand why it need to disconnect but I don't understand why there can't be an "upload complete" message that remains on the screen until you close the program or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks: It's really easy to use and doesn't crash like web browsers. It's easy to install. This is an essential piece of software to have if you utilize FTP. I suffer daily frustration if I did not have this valuable tool in my office. The cost is definitely worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you? The business problem this product solves is providing a simple way to connect to FTP for uploads and downloads. A Web browser connection is often clunky and crashes, but Fetch never crashes. If it did crash you can easily pick up your upload where is left off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RB Reggie B. Co-Owner, Creative Director Design Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/19/2016 "Best FTP Program for the Mac, Hands Down!" 5/5 What do you like best about Fetch Softworks? What I like best about Fetch is the ease of use. I have a number of FTP programs, but Fetch is by far the easier to use. I have used Fetch now for a number of years and it has absolutely met all of our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks? Dislike? Is there something to dislike? I've thought about this question and I'm drawing a blank. If I really wanted to reach for something, I guess the ability to reorder the shortcuts by dragging and dropping them in the order I want them. But other than that . . . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks: You won't be disappointed. Absolutely the best FTP program out there for the Mac. The developers of Fetch are always updating it and I honestly cannot remember paying for an update. At the time of this writing Fetch is $29. I mean, COME ON! This FTP program is worth 3x's that cost. I've got other FTP programs I actually paid more for but they sit in my applications folder, unopened. As a web developer I use Fetch daily, in fact it stays open on my computer. I don't recall ever having to contact the developer with issues, there just isn't any issues. Fetch is definitely a "must have" for anyone uploading and downloading files via FTP, especially on a Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you? Productivity. Fetch is fast, quick to launch, runs lean and you don't wait on a "spinning wheel" before it loads. You click on the icon, it's up and waiting on you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
