When you design software there’s an expectation that whatever the product does, it must be easy to use. Long gone are the days when investing in a new application came with the assumption of protracted integration and testing cycles, weeks of user education, and keeping the vendor on speed dial for those questions that were unanticipated during sales due diligence, or that no one was paying attention to during day three of training. Today terms like ease-of-use, plug-and-play, intuitive user interface, and no-code integration are coin of the realm. If a potential customer even suspects there will be time and effort involved on their part, they’ll find another vendor. It’s not always realistic, but it’s the bar we must clear.
Here at Coviant Software we’re keenly aware of—and sympathetic to—this situation. And we also know that when a software product is difficult to use it can create more problems for the customer when users, feeling as though they’ve had a tool foisted upon them, look for workarounds that seem easier. That’s a natural response, but when the software is used to move and manage sensitive information, those workarounds often put security and privacy at risk.
Doing What Needs to be Done
Because our Diplomat MFT line of secure, managed file transfer products are engineered to help our customers securely and reliably send, receive, host, and retrieve their most business-critical information, if we didn’t make it super easier than a Sunday morning to use, we’d be undermining our core mission. Fortunately, we’ve got two decades of experience as a company getting to know the way customers actually use managed file transfer. That experience translates to a platform that is built to do what managed file transfer should do without unnecessary complications. And yes, we check all expectation boxes. Diplomat MFT offers:
- Plug-and-play simplicity;
- No-code integration;
- An intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface;
- Process automation, and;
- Support for all relevant protocols.
Diplomat MFT also comes ready to engage with whatever on-premises or cloud-based systems your organization uses for data storage and management, so there’s no customization required. It also delivers integral support for OpenPGP file encryption and encrypted transport protocols like SFTP; automatic capture of every step in the process to support compliance audits; and alerts should there be any unanticipated interruptions preventing a successful transfer.
Rock-Solid, Un-Festooned
We know that’s not always the case with other managed file transfer solutions. They love to festoon their products with bells and whistles that should either be standard or are unnecessary to the task. Another way they justify their high price tag is to bundle their software with whatever other products their private equity-backed holding company offers, whether it’s what you were looking for or not. Our strategy has always been to build, sell, and support a rock-solid, un-festooned MFT product that does exactly what you need it to do, performs reliably at the scale you need it to, and that allows you to focus on your organization’s mission. And because that’s what we’ve done, we’re able to offer Diplomat MFT at a price that is ethical and transparent.
