FileCloud vs Accellion

Pay More for Advanced Features

Accellion business plan priced at $15/user /month doesn’t offer many branding options, no DLP for data breaches from threat actors, no on-premises or hybrid options, no LDAP/ AD and other enterprise integrations, no antivirus protection, and no governance. To get these necessary features, an enterprise needs to pay much more.

Complicated User Experience

With Accellion, you can share multiple files via a link, but the only way to share a folder is to invite someone as a user to Accellion account. This can unnecessarily bloat costs for user licenses. With leading accellion alternatives like FileCloud, you can share folders easily even if the recipient is not a FileCloud user. Also get unlimited client/partner accounts with FileCloud.

Other Missing Features

Accellion doesn’t offer a wide range of white-label options unlike FileCloud. Accellion also doesn’t offer real time sync, selective sync, granular permissions, and document web edit. FileCloud, the best accellion fta alternative, offers more secure options for files in rest and in transit. FileCloud also offers real time scanning of the files using anti-virus.

Branding Options

Whether sharing files with clients or internally, many organizations customize the user interface to reinforce their corporate identity. FileCloud offers a rich set of capabilities for customized corporate branding, allowing businesses to upload logos, customize screens, and customize access url and integrate it as part of your corporate domain.

Accellion FTP offers limited options for white labeling in their business plan. Customers can only customize login logo, disclaimer and email signature, but they cannot remove the Kiteworks (Accellion) branding. Customizing access urls is not available in the public cloud solution.

Accellion secure file transfer also doesn’t offer on-premises/ hybrid cloud or private cloud deployment in their business plan and to get complete control of their data, enterprises need to choose enterprise plan which is priced higher unlike FileCloud

Moving File Servers to the Cloud

Accellion is not a user friendly file server for customers moving to the cloud. Performing intuitive and simple tasks such as a simple folder requires multiple steps. Any user looking to migrate their file servers to the cloud is probably has to work hard to use permissions within Accellion. Accellion does not support sub-folder exclusion for permissions. This means, customers cannot replicate permissions 1:1 when moving to the cloud, instead, they always have to reorganize the data structure to match Accellion’s capabilities.
