| Compare | ||
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Worth it |
| Best for | Enterprises replacing scattered MFT/SFTP tools | Teams replacing on-prem FTP/SFTP servers |
| Who it's not for | Small teams that just need a shared drive or Dropbox | Occasional large-file sharing . cloud drives do it free |
| Privacy | No breaches found in reviewed sources; one authentication-bypass advisory for Fat Client 3.3.6; vendor runs a public Trust Center.⁶ | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed. |
| Support quality | No usable support evidence found | Users consistently praise excellent support |
| Public sentiment | Reviews are largely positive, with users and reviewers praising reliable, rock-solid file transfers in an all-round platform.² | Reviewers consistently praise simplicity, fast integration, and responsive support across G2 and Reddit.14 |
| Biggest gotcha | Guess: no confirmed free tier; per-user costs can stack up . get quotes early³ | One user, mailbox, or endpoint per $50 entry plan . multi-partner setups stack costs fast.16 |
