MASV vs. FileCatalyst: See Why Teams Are Switching To MASV
From transfer speeds to file size limits, see why teams are making the switch to MASV intelligent managed file transfer (IMFT).
Tired of FileCatalyst's Complexity, Licensing Fees, and Clunky Interface?
Fortra’s FileCatalyst has been around for a long time, but the way teams move large files in the modern era has changed dramatically. Here's why more and more teams are choosing MASV as their FileCatalyst alternative:
- Easy to use with no training or tutorials: If you can use email, you can use MASV. Anyone can start sending and receiving large files right away with no training or tutorials required.
- No setup, extra open ports, or configuration: MASV works seamlessly even in restrictive network environments and requires zero server configuration, firewall changes, or port forwarding.
- Point-to-point failures: Direct point-to-point transfers may offer speed, but come with a significant reliability trade-off – if the destination endpoint or storage becomes unavailable for any reason, the entire transfer fails.
- Flexible pricing that fits your use case: Pay-as-you-go, subscriptions, pre-buys, or custom enterprise pricing with no licenses, per-seat fees, or surprise invoices.
- Customize MASV your way: Create custom Portals that reflect your brand while delivering a polished experience to clients and collaborators.
- TPN verified: MASV is a verified member of the MPA’s Trusted Partner Network (TPN) vendor roster, ensuring every file is protected against security threats.
FileCatalyst's legacy architecture, complex licensing, and outdated interface shouldn't slow down your team. There's a better, simpler, and more modern way to move large files.
