It supports widely used secure protocols such as SFTP, HTTPS, and AS2, along with secure access options like key-based authentication and MFA. It also provides event rules for file transfers, including PGP encryption and email delivery. In addition, it offers user-wise permissions for all users. Stable performance for large file transfers. Simple user creation and user onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I had a requirement to create an event rule where, for the time being, I want to prevent (or stop) file uploads to a user folder. During that period, it should either upload somewhere else or remain in a queue. I didn’t find an option for this in the event rules, so maybe I need to research it more.
Another point is related to VAPT: I disliked that sensitive data is travelling in the URL, and there is no CAPTCHA feature. Even with these concerns, I like Globalscape EFT because it has helped me a lot with my requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
It’s great to hear that Fortra MFT Globalscape is delivering value through its support for secure protocols like SFTP, HTTPS, and AS2, along with features like MFA, PGP encryption, and event-driven automation. We’re especially glad that user onboarding, permissions management, and reliable large file transfers are making a positive impact on your workflows.
Regarding your use case around temporarily preventing uploads to a folder, that’s a valuable scenario. We are currently exploring the ability to individually disable specific event rule actions, which would help better accommodate use cases like yours and provide more flexibility in managing file flows.
On the VAPT concerns you raised, specifically around sensitive data appearing in URLs and the lack of CAPTCHA, we take these points seriously. We’d be happy to go over these security considerations with your Account Manager to ensure you have the information and guidance needed to address those concerns.
Thanks again for highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement. Feedback like this helps us continue to evolve the product in meaningful ways.
