Senior Manager - Architecture and Standards at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
The industry leader in secure file transfer, broadly adopted for its excellent capabilities
What is our primary use case?
We exchange many files with our partners. So our primary use case for this product is for our partners to securely send us files for processing.Pros and Cons
- "This product has been a leader in the field of secure file exchange."
- "The API capabilities could be expanded to make integration more versatile."
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this solution as a ten-out-of-ten. In the past, it seems the whole industry adopted this solution because it was the leader in the field. Whether their whole architecture will be adaptable enough for the cloud is something that needs to be studied further.reviewer1310724
Technical Manager with 5,001-10,000 employees
Adaptive, flexible solution that is fairly stable but the auto-deployment has service disruptions
What is our primary use case?
We are using this solution for file management within our organization, and in different outlets as well.Pros and Cons
- "It's highly configurable, there is no need for standalone scripting."
- "I would like to see auto-deployment without service disruptions."
What other advice do I have?
The only limitation of this solution is that you have to pay to expand it, other than that it's stable and flexible. Plan your upgrades very carefully, and go through the documentation. It's a fairly stable product, but there are always other products on the market. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Performance and Reliability Consultant at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
Too many features offered; usability, performance, and reliability, are not good
What is our primary use case?
I work as a consultant to one of our clients who use SFG.Pros and Cons
- "Very high functionality with the ability to plug in your own code."
- "Too many features; UI is not good."
What other advice do I have?
There are solutions like GoAnywhere or Axway where the usability and flexibility is so easy. SFG has a legacy we have to deal with. I know they have pretty big clients and are one of the prime vendors. I'm not talking about the latest version of SFG, I haven't had a chance to look at it. If what they promise is correct, it might be a big improvement. I would rate this product a two out of 10.Per Bødtker-Næss
Enterprise Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has good functionality and good technical support
How has it helped my organization?
The most valuable aspect is that it has good functionality.For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Sterling File Gateway for eight years.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is a bit complex.How are customer service and technical support?
The technical support is very good.What other advice do I have?
I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because it's a bit complex, not so simple. It's one product but there are many screens.Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
