Our experience with the product Cerberus FTP Server
Unnecessary steps for placing the important files on the servers.
PROSFor a quick start of the software, the program is easy to use even without any instructions. The program is very stable. In the upload of now over 50000 files, there has been no crash or other error. Therefore, the use in the company was immediately possible. This saves us a lot of administrative work and the users a lot of time.
CONSI would like to have a quick search of what files have been downloaded or uploaded. Best as filtering by different criteria like date, time, folder, file, error/ok, direction (up/down), IP address.
Reasons for switching to Cerberus FTP Server
The old FTP server served as an intermediate storage from which the data had to be loaded to the actual destination on a Windows server. There the data was moved afterwards by means of many self-written scripts into the appropriate folders. Now the files are loaded directly into the folder on the Windows server and even with different distributed folders under one account. The simple rights assignment makes it possible for us that users now can't do anything wrong. Thus we save several steps to fetch the data and the problems that can be present with scripts are no longer there. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

In need of a flexible in-house B2B file transfer solution? This is what you're looking for.
I wouldn't be filling this out if I didn't think this was a solid purchase for anyone in similar shoes. If you're running a small business with FTP needs, this is a worthwhile contender.
PROSI've been handling FTP transfers for over 20 years, using a number of softwares and services in the hopes of finding an inexpensive, effective solution for our customers. Cerberus gets it right, from allowing all the usual methods of transfer to providing useful notifications of file transfer. It's simple to set up, easy to use, and the customer service has been fast and responsive even when building my own collaborative program.
CONSI had a hard time setting up the database connection to MS SQL Server, but after I got it, it worked fine. I would like an in-app log that focuses less on "session id" (a completely useless search term) and more on "user name" or "downloads."

Working SFTP solution

Stable and Robust Cerberus FTP
Very positive experience. We use this with several state and local government agencies and have no complaints.
PROSEasy to implement and is constantly being updated/improved. We've even migrated to another server a few times and the process is streamlined nicely.
CONSBefore some recent updates which fixed this issue, the user management UI was a bit clunky, though still functional.
Reason for choosing Cerberus FTP Server
Cost, support, FIPS compliance

Needed to find a high feature SFTP Server application that ran within a Windows environment.
The auto blacklist feature in conjunction with the number of failed logins is a great benefit, no need to continue to verify SFTP system is save. Another benefit for the company I work for is the support for local users and LDAP users simultaneously. No need to choose between the type of users within this system. The support for multi-tier authentication is also a huge benefit, password as well as pub key, or using the password or pub key allows employees to test as our client while I client stays secure using their private key. Applying updates is very simple and very quick, have performed such updates during business hours and downtime was a matter of 2 minutes.
CONSWhen users are created, a folder corresponding to the user is not automatically created so only permissions need to be assigned for the user.
