Top Reasons to Choose Cerberus FTP Server Over Diplomat MFT

Better Fit for More Use Cases

While Diplomat MFT specializes in higher-cost enterprise automation, Cerberus FTP server supports a more flexible variety of use cases, including:

  • Secure File Transfer for Business Workflows: Cerberus FTP Server provides reliable encrypted data transmission for internal and external data transfers as part of daily operational workflows, allowing administrators to explicitly allow or deny data access and transfer permissions by IP address, security group, encryption level, client certificate, directory, and more. Supported protocols include FTPS, SFTP, SCP and HTTPs.
  • HTTPS Web Transfer: Organizations seeking to provide staff and third parties with an easy-to-use resource for sharing files over the web can set up Cerberus FTP Server’s HTTPS web client. This tool allows easy drag-and-drop file sharing from any device, along with security features to support ad hoc/public file sharing such as self-service account management, password and file expiration policies, automatic alerts and more. 
  • High-Volume, Mission-Critical File Transfer: Cerberus FTP Server has been load tested under extreme conditions and found to reliably transfer terabytes of data at loads well in excess of most server configurations. The Enterprise Plus edition includes a number of tools to support mission-critical transfer such as automated security tools, included backup licenses, server replication, and more.
  • Sharing Large Files: Cerberus FTP Server supports Mode Z for compression during transfer, and allows administrators to specify encryption and protocol requirements to optimize large file sharing for speed. Transfer integrity checking also provides error free delivery in case of connection issues. 
  • On-Premise File-Sharing: Administrators who want to keep organizational data partitioned from the internet to reduce threat exposure or maintain regulatory compliance find that Cerberus FTP Server’s fine-grained access controls and optimization for Windows Server provide an ideal tool to do so.
  • Better Integration with MFT Tools: Cerberus FTP Server is integrated with JSCAPE MFT for organizations seeking enterprise-level automation, file synchronization, encryption in motion, and file transformation.
