Gartner haven't reported on the MFT market since 2009, which is curious because its a market which has grown considerably in that time; and is purported to reach a valuation of 2.28bn USD by 2027. I myself have created, grown and sold a company which specialised solely in managed file transfer.

In terms of marketplace analysis today, I would recommend speaking with Pro2col. A twenty year strong company based in the UK who specialise in MFT and work with ten of the industries top MFT vendors - and have links into many others. They have produced (and continue to add to) a really nice comparison page of the main players in the market - https://pro2col.com/mft-software-tools-list

Jean-Claude is somewhat right in his comment regarding GoAnywhere and MOVEit, however they were not breached themselves. High severity vulnerabilities were disclosed in their platforms which led to some of their customers being breached. I would argue for balance in these situations though. 

In 2023, MITRE recorded nearly 27k vulnerabilities - I would argue that there is a level of risk in software development which can never fully absolve it from potential problems. Having worked in this field for much of my career, reliance solely on a vendor solution and not implementing complementary controls is foolhardy. On the brightside, I work closely with both GoAnywhere and MOVEit and know that their DevOps is much stronger as a result; and that they haven't seen much in they way of customer attrition.

We are in the process of deploying SAP LeanIX and I'm curious about some of the key use cases other LeanIX customers have been able to explore.  As an Enterprise Architecture practice, we are primarily concerned with strategic alignment and planning so anything in these areas would be great.

What use cases have created value in your particular organization?

I’m reaching out to connect with peers in State K-12 education agencies who have developed home-grown solutions for assigning and managing Unique Student Identifiers (UIDs)—particularly for enrollment tracking and state/federal reporting. If your organization has implemented an in-house system for student ID management, I’d greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience.
