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.

Getting to Support should be easier. Getting to Support should be easier. For someone from overseas just offering the 0800 phone is difficult. By email would be easier. The interested could prepare a text in their language, translate to English and make themselves understood by the Support.

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.

Complete scam I purchased their software online and never received my serial number. Then sumbitted my information on their sales and support forms and heard nothing back. Then called the number and was on hold for 26 minutes before they just said "our offices are now closed" then got kicked back to the main menu.

I can't quit you Ipswitch! I started using Ipswitch in 2004 while working as a webmaster and found the product to be very reliable with features to control large user groups and track files. Retirement started 5 years ago and recently, after being a bit bored, took on a volunteer webmaster position. My first choice, over all the free ftp apps, was and still is Ipswitch. Even though I am on a limited income, the money spent is well worth it. Ipswitch is a reliable, stable application that is easy to use and hard to forget.
