It supports all the protocols used for file transmission. It also includes encryption and decryption functionalities. The standout feature of Globalscape is its advanced workflow engine. Using AWE, we can write code to implement additional features beyond the basic functionality of source and destination configuration. This includes scheduling tasks to run on specific days and times. For example, if you have an Excel sheet with ten different tabs and need to create separate files for each tab, AWE can read the Excel sheet, convert each tab into individual files, and then send those files. This flexibility allows users with coding experience to perform many more tasks using AWE.

It is a versatile tool, that enables seamless and secure daily report exchange between business partners. It can access partner systems, locate CSV reports, and transfer them to various global locations. It goes beyond basic file transfer, supporting server-to-server, server-to-client, and client-to-client transfers for enhanced collaboration. Unlike email limitations, it allows large file transfers, even up to 500 GB, by generating shareable links similar to Google Drive.
Our company uses the solution to manage integrations and file transfers for our customers. The solution can be integrated with any system such as Salesforce and can perform API calls. We keep track of all data via the built-in report option. For example, we can mention a job name and automatically pull records for the last six months. Details such as how many transactions succeeded or failed are included. User groups are created to provide access levels and permissions. For example, developers are given access to development and testing but not production. We have a total of 25 team members that are split into groups across development, production, and support. One use case is with one of Takeda's clients. Takeda is a big pharmaceutical company in Japan and they use the solution. Through our work, we are finding that other pharmaceutical vendors also prefer the solution. Our customer had the on-premises solution in place but is now in the process of moving to the AWS cloud. We are part of the migration team so are moving on-premises jobs from the on-premises version and MOVEit to the cloud.

We have lots of data coming in from or going to financial institutions like banks, including payments and different types of transactions. Any client can connect to GlobalSCAPE to retrieve their files and data. We also go to their servers and pick data. We have a lot of clients, vendors, and partners that share data for different applications. Most of the data goes through SFTP, which is a protected protocol. Our main production server is on-prem. The version of Globalscape that we are testing right now, version 8, is on the cloud in Azure.

I work for a local government, which is a pretty big organization as there are a lot of cities within the county. We do the file transfers for the county. It started off with SFTP only and then we managed to integrate our internal file transfers and everything else. From there, it has grown a lot more. We had one site originally, and now we're up to seven FTP sites. We mostly use the software to interact with the outside world. Anything that comes in or goes out of our organization goes through our servers. Internally, because we have a lot of different systems, including mainframe, AIX, et cetera, and some systems don't speak to each other. For example, the mainframe doesn't have SFTP capabilities to communicate with AIX. We are the system in the middle that is involved in those transactions. For example, the mainframe will push out a file to us and then we will use or create a Globalscape script to push out that file to whichever server or file share it needs to go to.
We use the EFT application for file transmission, and we also use Workspaces, which is within the same EFT environment. We use an unlimited license. On my side, I'm just administering it. We did a lot of architectural design work over the last couple of years in making it more secure. We have two DMZ servers for Globalscape that are passing the data or doing the file transmissions in a secure manner. We also have two EFT nodes for replication so that in case the primary node goes down, we have a secondary node that would pick it up.

We use it for file transfers. 100% of our customers connect through Globalscape to bring their files to our data center. So, it is a hosted service, but I'll interchange it and call it our private cloud, but it's not really a cloud. We have several versions. The newest is 8.0.4, and the oldest is 7.4.10. We have six data centers in which Globalscape is deployed.
We have several use cases. We use it for exchanging files. We use it as a file or SFTP type of storage for B2B type of exchange with customers. We also use a lot of rules to transfer files from internal to external systems or from external to internal systems and archive the files. We use a lot of event rules. Our usage is heavy, and we have around 3,000 to 4,000 rules. We sometimes use it for PGP encryption. We also use it when zipping and unzipping files. These are all part of the rules. In terms of deployment, it is on-prem. We have multi-region on-prem.
