Good automation for large file transfers and independently managed
Pros and Cons
  • "We can send the data quickly and securely."
  • "Setup is time-consuming."

What is our primary use case?

This platform is used as an independently managed file transfer server that supports multiple environments.

Data can be sent securely, and no data loss happens during the transfer. Large files can be sent easily.

We can automate the data transfer based on the event or schedule.

During large file transfers, if the failure happens due to a network/internet issue, in the event of a failed file transfer, we can send the remaining data again from the last byte of data successfully transferred so that there is no need to send all of the data again.

How has it helped my organization?

JSCAPE helped us with data transfers.

We can send the data quickly and securely.

No data will be lost during the transfer.

If any interruption occurs during the transfer, there is no need to send the data again; we can send the data from where it was interrupted.

We can set the automatic file transfer on a scheduled basis or based on other event conditions.

We can create multiple virtual servers, each with its own set of users and permissions.

It performs email-based file transfers while avoiding the issues commonly experienced with large email attachments.

What is most valuable?

I found the triggers feature the most valuable. Using this feature, we can quickly automate the business processes based on events or conditions so that whenever any file is received by vendors/customers, we can automatically compress that file, and then we can forward the compressed file via email to the respective owner for further processing.

There is no need to compress the file manually, as it has an automatic compression feature.

Also, the ad-hoc file transfer features perform email-based file transfers, which avoids issues commonly experienced with large email attachments.

What needs improvement?

In the next release, some additional features could be added:

  • Setup is time-consuming. Also, maintenance is difficult. These could have been made easier. 
  • The upgrade process is a bit difficult.
  • The interface could have been more user-friendly, and more improvements are needed because it is hard to use.
  • More documentation is needed to understand the usage.
  • Server configuration is complex, and settings are difficult to identify.
  • Customer support is good. We get our resolution, but sometimes the response is a bit delayed.
