At bTrade, we usually keep our heads down, focus on building secure Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions, and let our customers do the talking.
This year, they spoke clearly.
According to the latest rankings from SoftwareReviews, a division of Info-Tech Research Group, bTrade was rated the #1 Managed File Transfer (MFT) vendor in both the Mid-Market and Enterprise categories.
Not one category.
Both.
And the recognition goes deeper than a leaderboard position.
What Awards Did bTrade Receive?
In addition to earning the top overall rankings, bTrade also received:
- Top-Rated for Strategy and Innovation
Recognizing our ability to anticipate evolving MFT requirements — from hybrid cloud to post-quantum encryption. - #1 in Emotional Footprint
Reflecting customer trust, relationship strength, service quality, and long-term satisfaction.
These awards are based entirely on verified end-user feedback — not analyst opinion, not sponsored panels, and not marketing narratives.
That matters.
Why This Ranking Is Different
The SoftwareReviews Managed File Transfer evaluation measures vendors using two primary dimensions:
1️⃣ Net Emotional Footprint
Captures how customers actually feel about working with a vendor, including:
- Trust and reliability
- Support quality
- Vendor responsiveness
- Business value and pricing fairness
2️⃣ Feature Satisfaction Scores
Measures real-world product performance across:
- Security capabilities
- Usability
- Reliability
- Automation
- Scalability
- Compliance support
Because the data comes directly from active users, these rankings provide an unfiltered assessment of vendor performance in production environments.
In 2025, bTrade topped both the Mid-Market and Enterprise MFT categories.
A Track Record of Consistency
This recognition isn’t new, it’s consistent.
- In 2015, Info-Tech described bTrade as an “experienced and recognized leader among MFT vendors.”
- In 2023 and 2024, we ranked #1 in the Mid-Market category.
- In 2025, we earned #1 in both Mid-Market and Enterprise.
From early on-premise deployments to hybrid cloud environments, from traditional encryption models to post-quantum cryptography readiness, our mission hasn’t changed:
Build secure file transfer technology organizations can trust.
What This Means for Security & Compliance Leaders
If you’re evaluating Managed File Transfer solutions, this recognition answers some critical questions:
Is the platform reliable in production?
Yes validated by enterprise users.
Does it support compliance requirements?
Yes with audit trails, encryption at rest, MFA integration, and governance tooling.
Will the vendor be responsive when issues arise?
Our Emotional Footprint score reflects strong long-term customer relationships.
Can it scale from mid-market to enterprise workloads?
The rankings across both categories demonstrate architectural flexibility.
In the MFT world, #1 isn’t about badges, it’s about operational trust over time.
What’s Next: Security in the Post-Quantum Era
While we’re grateful for the recognition, we’re focused on what’s ahead.
In 2026, we’re introducing new advancements designed to:
- Simplify regulatory compliance
- Expand automation and orchestration capabilities
- Strengthen Zero Trust enforcement
- Advance post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness
Managed File Transfer is no longer just about moving files.
It’s about securing data pipelines across hybrid infrastructure while reducing operational risk.
That’s where we’re investing.
