Signiant Jet vs. Resilio
Across the media & entertainment industry Signiant is well-known as the market leader in intelligent file transfer. The world’s top media brands including Disney, NFL, NBCU, Xbox, BBC and more rely on Signiant to move content across their supply chains and will often recommend Signiant to their partners for content deliveries. While Resilio is focused on syncing storage systems, the Signiant Platform supports Media Shuttle for person-initiating sending and sharing of files and Jet for automated transfers between locations, partners and to and from the cloud.

Signiant vs. Resilio Pricing
Signiant
Resilio
Resilio charges for both users and amount of storage connected, making costs very unpredictable. When dealing with large files and massive data stores, the costs can add up quickly and can catch you off guard.
Rock-solid Reliability
Signiant Jet
All Signiant software includes Checkpoint Restart which automatically resumes any interrupted transfer from the point of failure. Jet works with any-size file as well as folders with thousands or even millions of smaller files which are common in VFX workflows. With Signiant, all files are delivered unaltered with byte for byte accuracy.
Resilio
Resilio customers complain about reliability issues when using their sync product. A quick trip to the ResilioSync subreddit will highlight some of the customer challenges with reliability.
Beyond File Transfer
The Signiant Platform
Once on Signiant Jet, customers can easily access other platform capabilities whether it is leveraging Media Shuttle to set-up portals for various teams, projects and locations, or Media Engine to search, preview and interact with media assets across all their storage. While Jet is a best-of-breed product for automated transfers between systems, partners and the cloud, being on the Signiant Platform offers capabilities that extend beyond file transfer that help media companies work more efficiently.
Resilio Sync
Resilio, which was created by the founders of BitTorrent, is focused on synching files across storage systems. Resilio Sync is a product that can be a good replacement for the free rsync utility. If you’re working with media assets across complex supply chains with many storage locations, partners and people in the loop, you will want to take a look at the Signiant Platform which covers a broad range of use cases across the media and entertainment industry.
