One standout aspect is its workflow automation combined with strong security controls—you can design complex, multi‑step transfers (including encryption, compression, notifications) through a drag‑and‑drop interface without heavy scripting, while still maintaining full audit logs for compliance. My favourite aspect is the seamless workflow automation that securely manages file transfers while meeting strict compliance requirements.
