Security- Beehive uses SSL security to protect your customer's file transfers from hackers
"SSL security is absolutely required for our customer's file transfers" Mike Holzberg, globalX Technologies

If you are using ftp solutions like Fetch or Pdf Transit for your file transfers, you are opening yourself up to attacks from hackers. The userID and login parameters for ftp are "clear channel" which means they can be "sniffed out" by hackers. Beehive uses SSL-secure Apache web servers for file transfers, ensuring that the connection and data are safe from any attacks. Each file transfer is initiated with a digital certificate check from "Thawte" that ensures that the connection is authenticated and SSL secure.

Ease of Use - Beehive has a "Simple as 1-2-3", customizable interface
"Using the standard tools, we were able to design a completely custom visual Drag'n Drop interface." Mark Hildebrandt, PIPLink

Simple as 1-2-3

And you can create your own forms using any standard HTML editor, like PageMill or BBEdit. Numerous sample forms are provided.
