What Is MFT? (And Why Is Legacy MFT Broken?)

Managed file transfer (MFT) software is used by enterprises and other companies to securely transfer data from point to point over a network.

Problem is, most MFT platforms were made for an era of smaller files, run on rigid on-premises architecture, and get by on DIY automation. Getting set up takes weeks, and they’re overly complex and prone to failure.

MASV is intelligent MFT built for the modern era. Intelligent managed file transfer (IMFT) is a cloud-native MFT approach that’s context aware, API-first, and user-centric with built-in automations and integrations.

MFT Essentials: Reimagined

MASV delivers the core MFT features you rely on, without the baggage. We’ve reimagined MFT for the cloud while prioritizing simplicity, reliability, security, and performance.

Automated Workflows

Use MASV Watch Folders, the MASV API, or MASV Agent to automatically send files from anywhere without coding or DIY nightmares. Connect MASV directly to cloud or on-prem connected storage – like Amazon S3, Backblaze, Wasabi, or Synology NAS — in a couple of minutes for set-and-forget transfer workflows.

Centralized Tracking & Reporting

Gain full visibility without the complexity. Transfer tracking and history tools provide a centralized, auditable log of all transfers, with detailed reports on who sent what, where, and when, along with download tracking and notifications.

Secure Collaboration & Ingest

Receiving files shouldn’t be a security risk. MASV Portals give you a secure, branded upload link to ingest files of any size from anyone into cloud or local storage, with no user accounts or IT setup required for collaborators.

MASV vs. Traditional MFT: A Clearer Choice

Don’t get locked into outdated, expensive MFT software like Aspera and Signiant. See how MASV’s modern, intelligent MFT provides more flexibility and power for a fraction of the cost.

Feature MASV (the Intelligent MFT) Traditional MFT
Pricing ✅ Flexible Pricing: Pay‑as‑you‑go starter plans, annual subscriptions, pre‑buys, and enterprise custom pricing ❌ Expensive annual licenses & support fees
Automations ✅ Built‑in, no‑code automations with a rich API and headless Agent ❌ Complex, DIY automation that often requires third‑party tools
Reliability ✅ Built for reliability with auto retries in case of interruption ❌ Brittle and prone to failure, especially at scale
Awareness ✅ Understands your file, who sent it, and where it needs to go ❌ Doesn’t adapt to the context of your workflow
Users ✅ Unlimited users, teams, and portals ❌ Costly per‑seat licenses
Setup ✅ Instant — sign up and send or receive files in seconds ❌ Weeks or months
Maintenance ✅ Automatic updates / patching ❌ Manual updates / patching
Interface ✅ Simple web‑based or desktop app ❌ Complex on‑prem software
File Ingest ✅ MASV Portals: easy, secure, drag‑and‑drop uploads to multiple destinations simultaneously ❌ Time‑consuming setup and training for external partners
Speed ✅ Accelerated (up to 10 Gbps), Multiconnect channel bonding, MASV Express real-time file availability ⚠️ Varies, often network‑limited

More Than MFT. Better Than Other Tools.

MASV isn’t just a better MFT. It’s the replacement for every other broken file transfer method.

  • MASV vs. Legacy MFT (Aspera and Signiant): Legacy point-to-point MFT is difficult to set up and use, expensive, and can be prone to failed transfers if a recipient goes offline or runs out of space. MASV retains files in our cloud, ensuring transfers always complete successfully – guaranteed.
  • MASV vs. FTP/SFTP: FTP/SFTP is brittle, requires technical setup, can be insecure, and offers no centralized tracking, reporting, or user-friendly anything.
  • MASV vs. Consumer Sharing Tools (Dropbox, WeTransfer): Consumer file-sharing tools are slow, lack automation, can’t work with large files, and don’t meet strict enterprise security and compliance standards like TPN.
  • The MASV Advantage: MASV’s modern, cloud-native approach is underpinned by an obsessive commitment to reliability, built-in automations, and workflow awareness that accelerate workflows and free up your time for more important things.
