What it really isMedia Shuttle — Signiant's cloud-native SaaS for fast, secure large-file transfer in media and broadcast.
Our takeMedia Shuttle is Signiant's flagship file-transfer platform built for studios, broadcasters, and post-production teams that need to move large media files reliably at speed.
Pricing is annual contracts starting at $8,500/yr (Small Business), rising to $25,000/yr (Professional) and $100,000+/yr (Enterprise). This is a paid product that offers a trial period.
Why we rate itThree distinct portal modes (Send, Share, Submit) cover nearly every media handoff scenario; Checkpoint Restart and TLS encryption address reliability and security needs broadcasters require; and storage independence means organizations aren't locked into a single cloud vendor.
The catchAnnual contracts starting at $8,500/yr are prohibitive for small or independent studios, and cloud storage and egress costs are entirely separate, making total cost of ownership difficult to predict upfront.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Broadcast and post-production teams moving multi-GB or multi-TB media files
  • Enterprises needing SAML SSO and role-based portal access controls
  • Studios with hybrid on-prem/cloud storage needing a storage-agnostic transfer layer
Not good for
  • Small teams or freelancers with tight budgets (entry cost is $8,500/yr)
  • General document sharing where simpler tools like Google Drive or Dropbox suffice
  • Teams needing predictable all-in cloud storage and transfer pricing in a single bill
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Moderate: browser-based portals are intuitive for end users, but initial setup requires cloud storage configuration and admin onboarding — expect days, not minutes.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Scaling to Enterprise requires custom negotiation at $100,000+/yr; cloud egress fees can spike unexpectedly as transfer volume grows.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: storage independence (AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem) and open APIs/SDK reduce lock-in; data lives in customer-controlled storage.
Still a fit?
