MFT Gateway review
A focused managed file-transfer service for partner documents, with AS2 and SFTP workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MFT Gateway is Aayu Technologies’ hosted managed file-transfer service for organizations exchanging business documents with trading partners. It supports AS2 and SFTP, with a browser interface for sending and receiving files and a REST API for message exchange and management. Teams looking for a focused way to handle partner transfers can also connect AWS S3 and webhooks. Its fit is clearest for small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations with partner workflows built around these protocols, rather than buyers looking for a broader file-hosting product.
Workflow automation is a notable part of the offering. Teams can schedule SFTP workflows and configure issue management and alerts, while audit logs record system activities. That combination adds operational visibility around recurring transfers, and the API, AWS S3, and webhook integrations provide options for connecting the service to other systems. Buyers should distinguish these capabilities from the core transfer methods: AS2 and SFTP remain the center of the product, so organizations with other transfer needs may want a broader alternative.
MFT Gateway is cloud hosted, with an option to deploy it in a customer-owned AWS account. The service is paid and pricing is based on message volume; according to the vendor’s published offer, a 30-day trial is available without a credit card. There is no free plan. Support is available by email and phone. This makes the trial a practical way for teams to assess whether the transfer and workflow features fit their partner processes before committing. Choose MFT Gateway when AS2 or SFTP exchange, scheduled workflows, and audit logs are central requirements; look elsewhere if those protocols are not the focus or a free plan is essential.
