By Sharetru (formerly FTP Today) · 4.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Regulated teams in defense, government contracting, healthcare and financial services that must move CUI, ePHI or audit files with a provable trail.
- Buyers who want SFTP/FTPS/FTPeS/SCP, secure links and managed workspaces covered by one compliance boundary.
- Microsoft 365 organizations that need a secure external file-sharing layer alongside SharePoint and Teams.
- Finance, lab and contractor teams that need immutable audit logs, RBAC and SIEM forwarding without adding headcount.
Ideal size: 50–2,000 people · Regulated mid-market or enterprise with a dedicated compliance or security owner
Not for
- Teams looking for native AI features or an MCP server — none are documented by the vendor.
- Casual or consumer-grade file sharing where audit logging and compliance controls are unnecessary.
- Buyers wanting a full content platform (eDiscovery, broad DLP, collaboration suite) rather than managed transfer.
- Organizations needing multi-region or non-US data residency; hosting is described as entirely within the United States.

The security page cites a dedicated Customer Success Manager and 'best-in-class support'; one-hour and 30-minute demos plus a trial are offered. No support hours, SLA or support contact channels are published.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Bottom line
Sharetru is a compliance-first managed file transfer platform for regulated data, launched as FTP Today in 2001. Files move over SFTP/FTPS/FTPeS/SCP, secure links or managed workspaces inside one FedRAMP Moderate-authorized boundary, with encryption, role-based access, dual authorization and immutable audit logs. It runs alongside Microsoft 365 for external sharing, with Entra ID and Sentinel integration. Pricing is flat with no setup fee and unlimited users on select plans. Best for defense, government, healthcare and financial services teams that must prove control to auditors.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sharetru FedRAMP authorized, and does that help with CMMC or DFARS?
Sharetru's site states its service is a FedRAMP Moderate Authorized SaaS offering (legacy JAB-ATO) and that this carries CMMC Level 2 (Advanced) reciprocity, with audit logging intended for DFARS and CMMC audits. Buyers should still confirm that their own agency, prime or assessor accepts the authorization before relying on it contractually.
How is Sharetru priced, and are there setup or per-user fees?
The vendor advertises one flat monthly or annual rate, no setup fee, no bandwidth limits and unlimited users on select plans, plus a discount for state, local and education buyers. Actual list prices are not published on the pages we reviewed, so budget figures should come from a vendor quote.
How does Sharetru work with our Microsoft 365 environment?
Sharetru positions itself as an external sharing layer that runs alongside Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint rather than replacing them. It states integration with Entra ID, Microsoft Sentinel and SMTP so security teams keep visibility, and it avoids the administrative burden of adding external users inside Microsoft.
Which transfer methods and protocols does Sharetru support?
Three methods are described: automated transfers over SFTP, FTPS, FTPeS and SCP; secure links with guest authentication; and managed workspaces for exchanging files with partners. A native SFTP connector is offered for linking legacy systems and other applications.
Does Sharetru offer AI features or an MCP server?
The vendor pages we reviewed document no AI assistant, agentic workflow, AI governance or MCP server. The only machine-learning reference is a next-generation antivirus layer that uses ML and behavioural analysis for threat detection. Treat both AI capability and MCP support as unproven until the vendor confirms them in writing.
How quickly can a team go live with Sharetru?
Sharetru offers a one-hour demo and a 30-minute intro session plus a trial, and advertises no rip-and-replace of your existing Microsoft stack. No published go-live timeline or support SLA appears on the pages reviewed, so confirm onboarding effort during the trial.
