Worst tech support I have ever… Worst tech support I have ever encountered. Takes an act of congress to reinstall and activate software after a crash. They say to call tech support to get it reactivated but then say you can't contact tech support without a support contract.

OK product, bad licensing policy I have used WSFTP pro for many years -- practically daily. The product itself is not bad, but they have found that they can't really add much to it, so they do things like restricting your license to only one machine. It's kind of a ripoff given that there are other (free) products available. I have not had great interactions with their support staff either. If you are a first-time buyer: just say no. Many of us are kind of locked in because the product has stored login information in a way that is not easily exportable to other programs. I am in the process of migrating to another system so I can get free of the tyranny.

Atrocious customer service The product itself is not bad. However, they farm out their customer service and technical support to call centers in India, so it takes at least 12 hours to get a response, and even if you get one, they don't understand what you are trying to ask so you have to re-ask and then get another response 12 hours later still not understanding, and though they are claiming to be empathetic, they offer more politically correct responses that offer NO helpful solutions AT ALL. So you ask again, except this time more emphatically, and they escalate to a "manager" who still doesn't understand, nor provides any tangible practical solution. This has gone on for over a week, while business is being held up, and time continuing to be wasted. I have asked for a refund, and if i do not get it, I will be downgrading this review to one star.

Purchase/upgrade has bugs and can make the application unusable The application works great, but I've had trouble with the program upgrading. I used the free version without issue, then I purchased it and it won't work. Gives me an error and I can't uninstall the original free version. I've been a web developer for over 20 years so I'm highly experienced with installing programs, etc. It's been so annoying that I'm considering finding another solution and taking the purchase of wsftp as a total loss, because I have to have something that works. I've done some research and this is not an isolated issue. There are work arounds posted, so far no luck, but a good product would not require work arounds. It's a shame because the product works great, just your purchase/upgrade functionality is flawed.

Purchasing process is bad Purchasing process is bad. Paying is easy, but information on retreiving the download for this product is not very clear. You must register to the community, whereupon you are supposed to find your purchased products on your Products page. Despite the message stating "Products for new contacts and online orders can take up to 1 hour to show under My Products" my purchased product has not shown up after waiting several hours. So on the whole, not very satisfying at all. In this digital age you could expect a smoother transaction.
