Sync versus deliver
Sync keeps two places the same and needs an agent on each. Delivery moves a defined package once, verifies it and records receipt. RIPTON CLOUD does the second.
RIPTON CLOUD vs Resilio
A Resilio alternative for sending and delivering, not for continuous sync.
Resilio is a peer-to-peer synchronisation product: it keeps directories identical across many endpoints and is strong at that job. RIPTON CLOUD is a delivery product: it moves a package from A to B, verifies it, and records who received it. Which you need depends on whether your data should be mirrored or delivered.
Competitor facts are taken from Resilio (part of Nasuni)'s public pages, retrieved 2026-09-13, and linked below. No speed multiple against Resilio Active Everywhere is claimed; RIPTON CLOUD's figures are against a TCP baseline in a published test.
About Resilio Active Everywhere
Resilio Active Everywhere, now part of Nasuni, synchronises data across servers, sites and edge devices using a peer-to-peer protocol, with use cases from DFSR replacement to global file systems. Pricing is on request, licensed per device or agent; trials are sales-assisted.
Side by side
Published facts only. Where a vendor does not publish something, the table says so.
| Criterion | Resilio Active Everywhere | RIPTON CLOUD |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Not published; request pricing; licensed per device or agent. | Published: Free $0; Starter $99/mo; Professional $499/mo; Business $1,499/mo; Enterprise from $2,500/mo. Annual plans include two months free. |
| Free tier or trial | Trial by request; a separate free consumer product, Resilio Sync. | Free plan: 3 named users, 1 Shared Inbox, 25 GB transfer a month, 10 GB per file. |
| Model | Continuous multi-directional synchronisation between endpoints. | One-time packaged delivery between sender and recipients, with a delivery record. |
| External recipients | Endpoints run agents; external delivery is not the primary model. | External recipients and guest uploaders never use a seat and are never charged. |
| Deployment | Agents on servers, endpoints and cloud; management console. | Your own licensed transfer nodes (cloud or on-premises) with a hosted control plane; RIPTON Desktop for macOS, Windows and Linux; browser transfers through Web Edge. |
| Transfer protocol | Proprietary peer-to-peer with WAN optimisation. | RIPT: UDP-based, rate-controlled, block-level retransmission; TCP is used only for control traffic. |
| Encryption and trust | Encrypted transport; SOC 2 and TPN Blue Shield stated. | Mandatory AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 with a forward-secret key per session; replay protection per subflow; there is no plaintext mode. |
| Many small files | Designed for large directory trees kept in sync. | Directories are packaged as one bundle, so file count does not add per-file round trips; published test: 100,000 x 512 B files in 0.98 s vs 2 min 52 s over TCP at 150 ms and 3% loss. |
| Automation | API and policies for sync jobs. | REST API, CLI, scheduler, watch folders and webhooks from Professional; SAML SSO, roles and full audit from Professional; SCIM on Business. |
When Resilio Active Everywhere is the better choice
- You need directories kept identical across many sites or devices continuously.
- You are replacing DFSR or a global file system.
- Endpoints are servers you manage, not external people.
When RIPTON CLOUD is the better choice
- You deliver packages to people and partners who should not run agents.
- You need a delivery record: who received what, and when.
- You want published pricing and a free plan to start on.
- You move point-to-point across a difficult link and want an accelerated, verified transfer rather than a mirror.
The differences that decide it
Recipients
RIPTON CLOUD recipients use a browser link and no seat. A sync product needs an endpoint on the receiving side.
Pricing
Resilio prices on request. RIPTON CLOUD publishes its plans.
FAQ
Questions about switching from Resilio Active Everywhere.
Can RIPTON CLOUD keep folders in sync?
No. It sends a directory as it exists at send time. If you need continuous mirroring, a sync product is the right tool, and the two can coexist.
Is RIPTON CLOUD faster than Resilio?
They solve different problems and we do not publish a multiple against Resilio. For a one-time large delivery over a difficult path, run both on your route.
