Overall, I would rate it a six out of ten. Sometimes we face issues and can't figure out the cause of failures. It impacts our business, and we have to find the root cause. But we faced a bad situation when we couldn't route calls properly. I have to investigate the issue to avoid it in the future. It's challenging when there's no support from management.
I would encourage any organization implementing this solution, to give access to every potential user during the initial configuration; scaling up with this product is complicated, once the initial implementation has been carried out. I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

I would recommend that other companies look at this product as opposed to the other major file transfer products - even for small files - due to the high-speed capability. By far, it could be the biggest workforce of your systems. Large or small. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
