Connect:Direct is one of the premier MFT (Managed File Transfer) tools available. There are others, as CA-XCOM has already been mentioned. Within the realm of MFTs, they are rarely interoperable. If a business or trading partner needs to exchange via C:D, then you need C:D, etc. The primary advantage of an MFT tool over low-brow solutions, like rudimentary FTP, is that they have checkpoint/restart capabilities, as well as compression, security and scripting options. C:D has been very strong and reliable in the banking industry for many, many years. Pricing options will change at the start of the year, since the IBM purchase of Sterling.
