What differentiates SolarWinds Serv-U MFT Server from other similar products?

Serv-U is cost effective and quick to implement

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Initial implementation was very straight forward and we're able to scipt a lot of events to make transfers and scheduled transfers easy for our end users.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Creating "events" could be easier. I find that I end up needing to create a scheduled task with a script that the "event" runs rather than being able to do it within Serv-U.

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
