JSCAPE by Redwood Reviews

File Transfer Protocol was something that used to take a lot of time and always needed a resource to monitor it as there was a chance for failure in the transfer of files. With JSCAPE Accelerated File Transfer Protocol, now we can transfer files at 100x speeds when compared to FTPs. There is also an option where we do not need a resource to wait until a particular period of time to initiate the file transfer there is an option of scheduling where we can schedule our tasks at a particular time and can just carry with our work. 

JSCAPE has helped a lot with optimization. The customization made many complex, time-consuming tasks simpler. We used to have a headache with file transfers since it used to consume a lot of time and required a resource. We have an option of triggers where we eliminate the boilerplate code/repetitive tasks, and we define what should be done after a particular action/task. This has helped a lot in reducing the time required to analyze and redo the task again, and cloud server configuration is made easier.

There are many features I found very useful. For example, the Accelerated File Transfer (AFT) protocol, where we can transfer files at 100x the speed when compared to FTPs. Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also. 

The cloud server configuration has been made very simpler. We had many complexities with interfaces as we needed to deal with multiple interfaces now. With JSCAPE, we can have a single interface with a central point of contact.

Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload. We found out that this was due to the AV of the server. Customization of rules is something that is not that easy in JSCAPE. The design part is also a bit complicated.  

The user interface is something that has to be worked on. It is quite difficult to store code configuration. API usage is a little difficult, and it is limited to a certain extent. 

Documentation is something that has to be taken care of. Some of the newer features are not properly documented.

I've used the solution for one year.

I did not use a different version of the solution. 

It is a complete go-ahead for JSCAPE.

I did not evaluate other solutions. 

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.

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.

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.

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. 

I've used the solution for one year.

We selected JSCAPE because they have a viable product for our network service delivery.

In the medical profession, people need to move files around within the industry. In manufacturing, a lot of data needs to be transferred and recorded. The energy industry is another example, as they have field data that needs to be compiled and stored. These are some of the use cases we would discuss for JSCAPE by Redwood.

The automation part of JSCAPE by Redwood is great because you can set up a scheduled delivery with files and be notified if the transfer was successful. This is particularly useful for large file transfers, which can sometimes fail due to corruption. JSCAPE ensures the delivery has occurred and notifies everyone involved. If the delivery fails, you can then take corrective actions.

JSCAPE ensures data integrity. You know that the file has been transferred and on which date, as we provide timestamps. We handle cybersecurity ourselves with proprietary technologies for the network as a service. Files can be encrypted as necessary, and we offer point-to-point accelerated private networks. JSCAPE helps us on both the front end and back end.

We provide our network services, and we use third-party products such as JSCAPE for managed file transfers and process automation.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The solution’s scalability is very good.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

Technical support was very responsive.

Positive

The initial setup is pretty straightforward and quick. A single person could do the installation, but if you do it across multiple locations, you must organize accordingly. We typically have a small team that handles that. You don't need extensive experience to install it.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

I rate the product’s pricing a three out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

If there's a software update, we suggest users update because of specific bug fixes. However, it's pretty straightforward; they can choose whether or not to install it.

If you've millions of dollars to spend on IBM, Juniper, and Cisco equipment, they will fit in, but for those looking to implement less expensive solutions and minimize costs, JSCAPE is a perfect fit.

It allows you to implement quickly and reasonably, making it affordable to establish an automation solution if desired."

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

MFT for secure linux gateway in a large value project to control material movement between our corporate and production environments.

It covered the essentials but was overly complex, expensive, made it difficult to quickly implement solutions, and disliked by developers.

• Strictly controlled managed file transfer and audit
• Comprehensive management UI
• Rich feature set
  

• Lower the price
• Simplify the product line

A cheaper, more streamlined product set would likely increase sales.
