At a Glance: MFT Competitive Matrix
Business Case Analysis
Signiant and Aspera Are Slowing You Down
Your file transfer tool should accelerate your work, not become a project in itself. MASV delivers the speed and security your team needs without proprietary software, lengthy deployments, or unpredictable costs.
MASV: File Transfer Built for Today’s Workflows
Here’s how MASV delivers fast, cloud-native file transfer to modern workflows and use cases that legacy tools like Signiant and Aspera simply can’t handle.
Relentless Reliability
MASV temporarily stores all data in the cloud, so even if your recipient goes offline, transfers always complete when they’re back. Interrupted transfers resume on their own from the point of failure, with zero packet loss and folder trees intact.
Onboard in Minutes
Even non-technical users can start transferring files, spin up upload Portals, or even configure transfer automations with no coding, IT tickets, plugin installations, or training sessions.
Acceleration Over Standard Ports
MASV delivers high-speed, accelerated file transfers over HTTPS (port 443) without proprietary protocols, extra open ports, firewall reconfigurations, or overwhelming your network.
No-Code Workflows
Set up one of 30+ no-code integrations and automate transfers to your preferred cloud, on-prem and media asset management destination. Or, use the API to configure a custom automated workflow.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Forget complex licensing tiers, per-seat fees, and expensive hardware purchases. MASV charges only for the data you need, making costs predictable and easy to scale. Ease of use dramatically reduces setup and admin costs.
Built-In Enterprise Security
MASV uses AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, with no self-hosted infrastructure to manually monitor, patch, or protect. It's also SOC 2 Type II compliant and ISO 27001:2022 certified.
Total Cost of Ownership
Legacy MFT solutions typically follow a CapEx (capital expenditure) model. You pay for maximum capacity up front – including hardware procurement, maintenance, seat licenses, and idle bandwidth.
The MASV MFT model (OpEx): We align with your project cash flow. You don’t pay for software you aren’t using.
- Pay-as-you-go: No subscription required. Ideal for fluctuating project work.
- Value plans: High-volume users can lock in discounts via pre-buy credits or monthly subscriptions.
- Custom enterprise plans: Tailored solutions for global organizations needing predictable billing.
