A powerful and reliable FTP Server
Pros
Cerberus FTP Server is a powerful file transfer software which support various protocols, such as FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP and HTTPS, which have, by definition, secure layers to keep files save and encrypted.It also supports two-factor authentication, granting another layer of protection to data in transit.
Cons
Free trial only allows for 25 day use and no free license is available. Standard license supports most features, but can be coasty for low budget organizations.

Cerberus FTP Server is a Rock-Solid FTP Server Application!
Amazing support helped us when moving from a competitors product to get up and running.
Pros
I like how the web interface can sync with a secondary server to backup your configuration and users in case of a system failure.
Cons
I feel that some of the reporting could be more customizable.

a once great product - until management became greedy
I will be cancelling with Cerberus and will never use them again - I do not support any company that believes a 430% increase in ok.
Pros
The software was easy to use - did what it said and it was priced well in the market.
Cons
Management decided to increase the price of the software by 430% !! - from $289 to $1536 - What used to be affordable software has now become insanely priced. It clearly shows that making money is all that is important to

Cerberus FTP Server Review
Automated File transfer to 3rd parties, works great, providing confidence in it's daily operations. Is now running well with minimal maintenance checks required.
Pros
Comparative to other products, Cerberus is fully featured but straightforward to use due to it's full GUI functionality.The scheduling of transfers to specific destinations (aka Targets) was easy to create and get up and running in minutes.
Cons
There is an internal event log with a limited window of events, but for more detailed logging a SQL based installation is required.

Best of Breed FTP server
I don't have to worry about our FTP server with Cerberus...it's always up and security patches are released in a timely manner. It is lightweight (I can serve over 1000 connections on 2 vCPUs and 6GB of RAM...I could server 700 of 3GB of RAM previously), unobtrusive, and really a pleasure to use.
Pros
Cerberus is extremely easy to setup, implement, and use. It is dead simple, reliable, user friendly, and straightforward to secure.
Cons
Not negatives, but missing features/improvable features:
I'd like the option to run servers in high availability (there is a sync option, but not quite the same).
I'd like to see more integration options for MFA (there are 2-3, but I'd like to see this expanded).
I'd like integration with Active Directory to be more straightforward, and the option to integrate Azure Active Directory.
The option to have a user account and admin account be the same. I realize there's some risk here, but that should be left to the organization to accept or avoid.
