Pros

“Easily managed and basic restrictions are set for user access with secure data transfer. If the SSL certificate is not valid, the SFTP url will be down and not accessible.”
JO

Joshua O.

Infrastructure Engineer

“The user interface is intuitive and there is a lot more functionality than we require.”
MC

Mark C.

Technical Director

“The user interface is very simple to use and the product has a lot of functionality.”

SS

Sven S.

Prokurist

“I tend to download all my favorite songs off of YouTube and put it on my phone for listening on the go when I don't have Wifi.”
JR

Joe R.

Entertainer

“I love the fact that I can open a specific path for each FTP site, which helps to streamline the process.”

Cons

“Having used this system for several years, we are reluctantly moving away as the cost is prohibitive.”
MC

Mark C.

Technical Director

“The amount of GB that I can provide to the user's folder is missing, that is, do not copy more GB than allowed in a folder”
RC

Reina C.

System Administrator

“Unnecessary steps for placing the important files on the servers.”
RH

Ronny H.

IT Administrator

Cons

“I think that the GUI is a bit "oldish", i will prefer working with Filezilla with a more modern UI”
LL

Luca L.

Programmer and IT Analyst

“Something that I don't like about FileZilla is its user interface.”

“The hiccups aren't always FileZilla's fault -- sometimes it tries to spam-connect by default when it can't get through the door. ”
