Budget Friendly UDP Transfer Acceleration
Filemail is a Signiant alternative that uses the same underlying acceleration technology, UDP, to enable faster file transfer speeds, resulting in speedily sharing big files.
The big difference is, Filemail comes in at a fraction of their price, and there is no need to endure a complicated setup and training personnel.
Filemail Plans Are All Inclusive
Signiant doesn't offer any secure cloud storage space, and thus the ramifications on compliancy for data at rest, and subsequent security features would need to be addressed by another party.
Signiant offers a few transfer solutions when it comes to Managed File Transfers, and different packages within those solutions. In this comparison we’ll be looking at Media Shuttle For Enterprises.
Why We Are A Better Signiant Alternative
Economical Pricing Structure
Pricing for Signiant Media Shuttle for enterprises starts at $7500 per year. This pricing can rise considerably as this is just a starting point yet to take into account the number of active users.
Because Signiant doesn’t provide storage space, you will also have to factor in the cost of storage, be it in the cloud or on-premise.
Sign Up & Start Sharing Within Minutes
Installing the Signiant app, configuring ports, network permissions, cookie management, registry settings, and a whole host of other tasks need to be implemented in order to start using Signiant.
Multiply this with the number of end-users required, and it is a considerable length of time before you can transfer files. With Filemail, you'll be sending large files within minutes.

Some Highlights Of A Filemail Enterprise MFT Account
Better Value For Money
Signiant is far more expensive than Filemail, and that's not taking into account the additional costs of storage, compliant systems, and configuration, to name but a few things.
Compliant Storage Included
Signiant doesn’t provide any form of storage, be it in the cloud or on-premise. We on the other hand, provide 5 TB per user, and our storage facilities adhere to various legislative mandates.
Anti-Virus Protection
Considering the many threats to data privacy and security anti-virus protection is an absolute must. Signiant doesn’t provide any anti-virus. At Filemail, anti-virus is built-in.
Multiple incoming pages
Filemail enables you to create multiple incoming pages so you can create different client portals. For example each client and each project can have their own dedicated front end incoming page.
Compliant With Major Mandates
Signiant works with many partners. These partners are compliant with a number of mandates, but the specific regulations vary, depending on which partner you work with.
Because actual compliancy for data at rest is not in their hands, this means further time delays due to assessing suitable partners. We are upfront with the mandates we comply with as seen in the table.
