“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.

Key Insights

A Snapshot of What Matters - Based on Validated User Reviews

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 biggest strength of Thru is reliability and security. File transfers are dependable, encryption and access controls are strong, and the audit/logging capabilities are strong. Automation and workflow capabilities are well thought out as well.

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

The learning curve was steep, especially during the initial setup and configuration. Some workflows and tasks aren't super intuitive, and the UI could be improved in places. Documentation and onboarding are decent, but could also be improved.

    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.
