Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• HelpSystems (Fortra): HelpSystems (now Fortra) owns multiple MFT and secure file transfer products, including GoAnywhere and Globalscape, and bundles them into a broader IT/security suite. Competes against Diplomat MFT at the platform and portfolio level in regulated enterprises.
• IBM Sterling File Gateway: IBM Sterling File Gateway is part of IBM's broader supply chain and B2B integration portfolio. While not a focused MFT specialist, it competes for large enterprise and financial-services file transfer workloads and offers comparable protocol, encryption, and audit capabilities.

Direct peers

• Progress Software (MOVEit): Progress Software owns MOVEit MFT, the most frequently cited direct competitor to Diplomat MFT. Both target regulated-industry enterprise file transfers with SFTP/FTPS/HTTPS/AS2 support and built-in PGP encryption, and Coviant explicitly compares its offering against MOVEit on its website.
• Globalscape (now part of Fortra): Globalscape's Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) is an established MFT platform competing for regulated-industry workloads. Comparable in protocol support and compliance coverage, and now operating under Fortra alongside GoAnywhere.
• Fortra (GoAnywhere MFT): Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT is a direct competitor in the secure managed file transfer category. Coviant publishes a GoAnywhere alternative page and references the GoAnywhere CVE-2023-0669 as a contrast point; City of Los Angeles migrated from GoAnywhere to Diplomat MFT.
• Cleo (Cleo Harmony): Cleo's Harmony platform provides managed file transfer and B2B integration for enterprise trading partners. Comparable to Diplomat MFT in protocol support, partner onboarding, and EDI/B2B workflows, serving similar regulated-industry buyers.
• Kiteworks (formerly Accellion): Kiteworks provides a secure managed file transfer and content communication platform serving regulated industries. It competes head-to-head with Diplomat MFT in healthcare, financial services, and government, with overlapping protocol, encryption, and compliance feature sets.
• Axway (B2B/Managed File Transfer): Axway offers a longstanding managed file transfer and B2B integration platform competing directly with Diplomat MFT in regulated industries. Coviant compares against Axway on G2 review metrics and features comparable protocol, encryption, and compliance capabilities.
• JSCAPE (by Progress): JSCAPE provides secure file transfer and MFT solutions targeting enterprise trading-partner connectivity, directly overlapping Diplomat MFT's protocol support and automation feature set. Included in Coviant's named G2 competitor comparisons.

Emerging players

• Cerberus FTP Server: Cerberus FTP is a secure file transfer server for SMB and mid-market, offering SFTP/FTPS/HTTPS server functionality. Coviant publishes a Cerberus FTP alternative page. Less feature-rich than Diplomat MFT but addresses overlapping buyer needs.
