Cerberus FTP Server’s Recent Awards
Top Reasons to Choose Cerberus FTP Server Over CrushFTP
Ease of Use
Cerberus FTP Server’s users frequently compliment the software’s ease of use and streamlined setup, and the development team spends a significant amount of time incorporating user improvements into the tool. Crush FTP is targeted toward a more technical user that doesn’t mind a significant manual configuration workload.
Support and Roadmap
While both offerings have been in the market for 20+ years, Cerberus FTP Server has been gaining market momentum while continuing to offer award-winning support and feature improvements, while Crush FTP’s software and website updates are becoming less frequent. Cerberus FTP Server’s recent acquisition by Redwood Software means that even more resources will be put behind the tool to continue its growth.
Enterprise Polish & Reliability
CrushFTP provides an Enterprise-level edition, but reviews and installs from larger companies appear few and far between. Cerberus FTP Server has built a global customer list in the thousands and is in use by some of the world’s largest businesses in security conscious sectors like financial services, health care, law, government, and more. This customer quote from a UK financial services firm sums up Cerberus FTP Server’s benefit: “After our first year, our CEO said it was the best value software that we’d ever bought because of the load it handled. Every other software we installed had problems.”
