Irving, Texas, September 19, 2009 – Gartner, Inc., the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, announced their latest Magic Quadrant for managed file transfer this week. GoAnywhere is an enterprise secure file transfer solution that supports multiple platforms, protocols (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, etc.) and encryption standards. Oct 16, 2009. Organizations looking to buy and implement a managed file transfer (MFT) product to drive better security and governance of file transfer activities may want to consult the recent Gartner report on the product category. In its September Magic Quadrant, the analyst group sliced and diced nearly four dozen.

Old discussion[edit]

Can whoever posted the notice that the entry reads too much like an advertisement please review again? If the judgement remains the same, can I get some advice on what to cut / change that would help? I reasearched the topic fully and only included info that reflects general concensus out there in analyst land.

I removed it (anyone can); I happen to agree that enough edits have been made that it's not 'ad-ish' anymore.

This article is near gibberish in its current form.

The reason the term 'managed file transfer' exists is because a Gartner analyst named Frank Kenney put a label in the mid-2000's on a fast-growing market space where $10-50K products like MOVEit, Globalscape's EFT and Tumbleweed were already competing.

MFT solutions are NOT for sale to 'individual consumers'. They are rarely sold even to individual IT administrators. Instead, MFT solutions are typically purchased by project teams that comprise a variety of lines of business, IT management, security management and other functions.

C:D is a poor example of MFT; it's one of the oldest and least liked solutions in the entire industry. (If we're going to have a mascot, let's pick something prettier.)

The 'Background' section is all about the FTP protocol and why MFT solutions usually use something else. (Note that this may be changing after the next round of FTP IETF drafts.) Instead, this should talk about the other features listed above and why those are so critical to an MFT solution.

There's a lot more that could be improved here, but for now I'd flag this article as being of poor quality. Grumble grumble.

POV check[edit]

This article seems to read as an article outlining the benefits of Managed file transfer compared to FTP; nearly every section begins with a comparison between MFT and FTP, or with a description of FTP that usually ends with its shortcomings. It also seems to quote biased sources (that's fine) but then has all of its content based on those sources, stating things like 'As more and more companies decide that FTP is inappropriate for secure file transfer'.

Also, reference 1 and 3 link to the same page, and references 1 to 3 all come from Gartner (and are all inaccessible at time of writing this). AngelSL (talk) 08:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the need of a POV check. and as of writing the referenced links to gartner are still inaccessible (3 years after AngelSL reported it). I would propose to remove the links. Huygens 25 (talk) 09:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

• Offline resources are acceptable. In the increasingly hostile cyber environment 2019 the advocating of secure methods of transferring data as opposed to insecure methods seems actually quite natural ,well at least to me.Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:33, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Axway[edit]

Jcbbl (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2015 (UTC)I am Jean-Claude Bellando working with Axway on MFT. I found the page pretty weak. Of course, the fact there no reference to Axway is not fair while Axway is a clear leader on that domain.Also I think that the Gartner history should be used. Managed File Transfer is clearly coined by Gartner. On the other side there is a lack on the why MFT? MFT existed before MFT. Typically the PeSIT standard that Axway is using was created in the 90ties to by banks (in France) because they needed interoperability with security, reliability and integrity.There is a need of paragraph on SFTP that is today the most accepted standard for MFT.There is a need for a paragraph on new dimensions on MFT: MFT & big data, MFT & cybersecurity, …Jcbbl (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Managed file transfer('MFT') refers to a software or a service that manages the secure transfer of data from one computer to another through a network (e.g., the Internet). MFT software is marketed to corporate enterprises as an alternative to using ad-hoc file transfer solutions, such as FTP, HTTP and others.

• 2MFT Features

Background[edit]

From its inception, FTP has made moving large volumes of bulk data between any two entities—including file servers, applications, and trading partners—possible. However, FTP (and other communication protocols such as HTTP and SMTP) do not, on their own, provide a way to secure or manage the payload or the transmission. Yet, regardless of the lack of security and management capabilities, many companies have continued to transport large batches of structured and unstructured data using these protocols.

This practice is changing, however. According to Gartner Research, 'Organizations often use MFT solutions to replace FTP. This is due to increased focus on compliance, privacy regulations and corporate transparency — which demand increased auditing, management, security and process.'^[1]

MFT Features[edit]

While Managed File Transfer always recovers the same features—reporting (e.g., notification of successful file transfers), non-repudiation, auditability, global visibility, automation of file transfer-related activities and processes, end-to-end security, and performance metrics/monitoring—the way it is used has a major impact on the nature of the appropriate solution. Gartner analysts^[2] agree on 6 different usage patterns for MFT:

Managed File Transfer Gartner Magic Quadrant

1. Accelerated Transfer or 'Extreme' Transfer
2. A2A (Administrative-2-Administration)

All are defined by their own markers and require different methods.

Typical MFT functionality[edit]

Typically, MFT offers reporting (e.g., notification of successful file transfers), non-repudiation, auditability, global visibility, automation of file transfer-related activities and processes, end-to-endsecurity, and performance metrics/monitoring. MFT applications are available as both on-premises licensed software packages and software-as-a-service ('SaaS'). MFT solutions are designed for enterprise implementations.

MFT applications are characterized by having all or most of the following features:

• Support multiple file transfer protocols including PeSIT, FTP/S, OFTP, SFTP, SCP, AS2, and HTTP/S.
• Securely transfer files over public and private networks using encrypted file transfer protocols.
• Securely store files using multiple data encryption methods
• Automate file transfer processes between trading partners and exchanges including detection and handling of failed file transfers.
• Authenticate users against existing user repositories such as LDAP and Active Directory
• Integrate to existing applications using documented APIs (application programming interfaces)
• Generate detailed reports on user and file transfer activity.

Alternative definition of characteristics[edit]

One vendor in the description of their product identifies six issues with commercial use of ftp of even sftp that Managed file transfer seeks to address. The issues revolve around security weaknesses of traditional ftp in an increasing cyber threat environment and meeting increasing stringent regulatory compliance for data. whilst bespoke solutions may resolve some of all of these issues MFT can address when with a standardized approach.^[3]

Necessity[edit]

Managed File Transfer Gartner 2016

As more and more companies decide that FTP is inappropriate for secure file transfer,^[1] Managed File Transfer is beginning to be perceived as a necessity, not an option.^[4] It is within the reach of even small and medium size businesses.^[5]
