GlobalSCAPE Enhanced File Transfer Reviews & Product Details

Never seen an application being light with best performance. Easy to read, understand and implement with a lot of knowledge base documents provided. Different tiers of supports available. EFT with AWE is the best which keeps this application on top of all MFTs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ONLY ARM Database, Application is very light. however ARM database takes a lot of time to get purged and reports generation with huge databases causes application to timeout and report generation fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the integrated toolbox within the software. It gives coding the events a feeling that resembles visual studios which is very easy to use. I also like the import/export ability for events. Exporting an event, making a small change, and importing it back into the system makes it easy to clone similar events. They also have an area for connection profiles, which makes the upkeep and use of credentials for multiple events simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one aspect that I do not like is how general some of the errors are. You can see where the job breaks down by having an email send and stop process, however it just tells you which step it breaks down on. I wish the error codes in the logs told you more about the issue that caused it. It can be difficult to see if it is on the local or remote side because of this. Also if the resources on the server get over-utilized, you can get a main loop broken error, which will cause random events to fail and become inactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Globalscape is a one-stop-shop for a managed FTP service. It allows the monitoring of folders and custom triggers for transmitting files to a location. File transfers can be scheduled. With the addition of the Advanced Workflow Module, administrators have the additional ability to create complex workflows that connect to cloud resources, modify or concatenate files and examine file data to make decisions on manipulation or transmission.

The features of this particular product can feel a bit dated, particularly when looking for relatively simple functions, the way to achieve them can be mired in extra hoops and bounds to get the right result. AD and LDAP authentication methods are allowed in the base product, but adding SAML is locked behind an additional module that, while useful is very expensive for what most clients would like use out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest it is very easy to deploy and architecture is so simple to understand that makes it administrator so easy. Also it is so flexible that it can integrate with many of the third party appliations to cover many of the parameters of corporate compliance. In one word "BEST" product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In order to over come vernabilities, we need to disable the weak ciphers but many of the users may not upgrade their client periodically and they keep on using the same weak ciphers and without intimating them we cannot disable the same. So in this case if we can get the report that which user is using cipher for communication would be easy for us to tackle and intimate the user proactively. But this report must very handy and easy to understand i.e. converting hexa decimal from log and get that convert is seriously very rigid work. So I believe, here we need to concentrate.

It has so many different solutions for pushing and pulling secured data. It has become our number one vehicle for secure data transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't honestly say there is anything I dislike about Globalscape. Its the perfect product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EFT ensures secure, efficient transfer of large files in split seconds. The Web Transfer Client provides Users an interface to send, share files and folders with internal and external users of the platform. Ability to encrypt and decrypt files with the openPGP option is magnificient.

The dropoff portal which ensures that files are sent to only inserted email addresses in the administrative Workspace - dropoff "Address Book" is a secured way to ensure files are sent to only assigned list provided by the administrator.

Secure measures to transfer super large files within the organization and externally.

Globalscape Electronic File Transfer is the best platform for file transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Globalscape Electronic File Transfer requires intensive support and knowledge base requirements for High Availability installation.

A single mix-up in port (https-ssl, or sftp-ssh) numbers in the EFT solution and gateway connection, will clash sites and render issues in like regards.

Best practice doesn't recommend same value for port numbers on two different site anyway, except for separate IP provisioning and other exceptions which should be quite clear, as an administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Globalscape EFT's scripting capability and automating the task, is one of the best feature that helps us achieving our goals. I use it all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now, I haven't come across anything which makes me dislike the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These features are very much useful in our day to day work:

1) Intelligent automation folder monitor or file uploaded

2) Scripting capability by AWE

3) Easily manageable admin console

4) Web access capability for external users

5) Business Activity Monitoring capability is good

6) Mail Express integration is good

7) Workspace module a replacement for Mail Express

8) Verbose logging for AWE which will give more details on the issues

9) Inbuit reports and ability to build customized reports help to know the system activity and performance better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few limitations:

1) When we try to download a file from a remote server and if file does not exist, then it should not be called file download failure, there should be some option to mark as success if no file exists.

2) It would be good to have if action succeeded besides if action failed in the event rules.

3) Good to have web admin interface to be able to access outside the servers with full features

4) Ability to configure different URLs for internal and external along with separate SSL cetificates

5) Good to have in built sync tool which is used to get the user history in terms of last connection date and time etc.

6) Good to record time stamps in the logs so we know what happened and when Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

integrated AWE module, Monitor, file upload, scheduler event rules. Encryption and decryption and zip and unzip the files. these features are best and different protocols available to transfer files. Industry best security algorithms available to use. Supporting multiple nodes with load balancing feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

advance workflow engine module not update with some versions. Latest globalscape version having automate 10, but actual latest version of automate is 11. so better to integrate latest version to globalscape when you release new versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The status screen really helps provide a clear view of all the movements happening past, present, and future. The overall event rules are simple to create and allow you to bypass scripting if that is not your strength. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The even rules do stay alphabetical when your looking to clone one or amend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Event Rule visibility and easily undersood workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to sign in to the desktop application a lot because of timeouts.

When working with advanced workflows you are not able to look at other things like event rules at the same time.

There is a lot of configuration, but once configured, you don't have to change much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EFT makes file sharing easy, you can log into web client or have the plugin right you mail app to send large files easily. My favorite thing about EFT is options for delivery.

I can set it to expire right after it is open. I require an account for NoN EFT users. It is very secure

Another i like very much about EFT is requesting large files option, makes working with Vendors is. I can draft request email right from outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the only thing that comes to mind is that AD integration is no the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI for the software we use EFT Enterprise is simple enough that support of the entire environment can be managed by a limited number of resources, even for our use case which is close to 10,000 users across several different deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way the EFT file system works can leave a little to be desired. It has some good functionality such as the ability to digitally mount other file shares and have them become part of it's file system, but are times we run into an issue with it's ability to apply permissions.

Some build in automated clean up jobs for old files, would also be nice and a feature I have had in other solutions in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Globalscape's support team have always been very quick to repsond and very efficient at isolating and solving my problems. The app itself is very robust, but when you need expertise to sort out Vent Rules etc, the support team is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like to be able to export Event Rules and organize them in folders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

automatize, secure, centralize all data transfers in your organization in an easy intuitive way. EFT has the power to make a lot of different tools go away, theres no longer the need for custom made scripts, several FTP servers or even FTP clients such as FileZilla or WinSCP. EFT does it all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EFT's console could introduce some new features involving a better way to migrate to a newer version or more control in the process of creating event rules, applying changes is not as intuitive as it could be since you can't move in the administration console without applying or discharging changes in the current tab you were working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EFT server is a solution that makes difficult processes easy. Easy to install, easy to configure, easy to use. Automation is the best of the best, it helps companies focus on the business. It is a very powerful solution for all work needs where it is required to guarantee integrity, confidentiality and information security.helps to comply with government regulations. wtc allows to create a homogeneous transfer mechanism for internal and external users with very powerful additions such as workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

installation in cluster environments are still complex. the rules and events could have more basic tools without going to advanced automation. Sometimes the profile for admin users must have a way to configure more different profiles appropriate to the needs of companies. the RAM remote access agent should have more possibilities in the future.the configuration of the WTC look should be easier in terms of logos, colors etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the many functions readily available for you to use. Minimal usage of external scripts is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The experience working with their professional services at one instance. There were unnecessary comments given on how the project was managed and staff could have been more patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Globalscape EFTP server is very reliable. I have years experience working with it and it has never let me down once. It is very flexible in terms of configuration and prices well with competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if there were some integrated notification when a users disk allotment was reaching threshold or if the overall disk threshold was hitting the ceiling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The event driven custom scripting. For example, we have a script that automatically moves each downloaded file to a subfolder '.archive'. With this, automated download scripts don't have to keep track of what files they have downloaded, they can just download whatever is the root user folder. But, manually one can log in and access that archive for previous files. Another use is instead of having a script run on a schedule to look for uploaded files, that script can be called immediately upon upload - don't have to worry about accessing a partially uploaded file, don't have the inelegance of running a script blindly on a schedule. Event driven scripts are great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of AD integration for admin access. Could handle logging of blocked access due to IP restrictions better, right now it seems invislble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have the PGP module which helps sending encrypted file a cinch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need a better testing feature when creating connection profiles. Needs to better configure and ignore directory listing.Recently, we are seeing more and more false positive while connecting to vendors where the file is uploaded successfully, however directory listing permission is denied and there is an error that shows up in the logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Globalscape's EFT Server and EFT Arcus are two state-of-the-art MFT platforms in which any organization can manage their file and information exchange in a secure automated way. The way the automated file transfers are built is the best feature of EFT I can think of. Drag and drop functionalities that can help you build any automated workflow in minutes as complex or simple as you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EFT Should include auto-save features to Event Rules and keyboard shortcuts such as undo/redo in a way that building these automated workflows, as simple as they are, could be developed in a more user friendly way. The way you delete or modify an Event Rule is not ideal but it gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

professionals on resolving issues with super communication skills Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hope that you will open an official office on middle east, this will help for best support and communication during the middle east timing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reliability of the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perhaps, the cost of the Enterprise version of the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the site admin the ease in which I can stand up shares and create user accounts is stellar. Cannot be happier with that aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that comes to mind is that it is a bit pricey. The support response could be a bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EFT Server Enterprise, along with the AWE component allows us to not only transfer files but to manage these transfers. We write scripts that allow us to do everything our clients would like to have happen to their files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use the AWE component extensively and I would like more upgrades as cyphers and other security needs are changing faster than the upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
