CRITICAL

“Implementation was great but platform not as flexible as required”

3.0
May 30, 2018
When the system was first implemented it met all requirements. However, as technology has changed and businesses need more agile platforms, it was felt this platform performed more clunky than others. Staff changes have also meant that the relationship hasn't quite been what it was. In the past we could request changes to be made but over the past few years that has been pushed back upon us.

Reviewer Insights for: Thru

Thru Likes & Dislikes

Like

1) High reliability and stability. Transfers are completed consistently with minimal failures or downtime. 2) User-friendly interface: Easy to navigate and manage files. 3) Secure, compliant file transfers. Strong encryption and access controls make it reliable for sensitive data.

Like

Back when it was implemented it was easy to use.

Like

The software is secure and easy to set up and implement. Availability of file sharing options with temporary access links. Good integration of the tool with other systems which reduces the complexity of workflows. Simple file transfer capabilities and unlimited software customization. Affordable pricing. The software has more helpful features such as file encryption systems and expiration management. Thru has secure Cloud storage and an intuitive web interface .

Dislike

1) UI looks a bit dated, could have a sleeker design. 2) Limited customization options. Some workflows and access controls could have more flexibility. 3) Documentation could be more detailed around advanced features, such as filtering different file types within a transfer.

Dislike

I feel that the product hasn't evolved to meet our business needs. Even trying to get the logo changed on the homepage was a bit of a nightmare as we had to keep going back and forth over size and isolation zones.

Dislike

We have not faced intimidation throughout the implementation process. No dislike.

    Thru Prioritizes Reliable Secure File Transfers With Robust Audit Capabilities

    4.0
    Feb 9, 2026
    Overall, Thru has been a solid and reliable managed file transfer solution. It does what it promises: secure, auditable, automated file transfers without constant babysitting. Once implemented correctly, it runs in the background and just works, which is exactly what you want for enterprise file movement. It's clearly built for organizations that care about security, compliance, and operational stability rather than flashy UI or lightweight use cases.
