- Chris (Cisco) - I‘ve been using FFC for over 2 months now and it‘s working great. I‘ve got it auto checking files before sending to our customers. I‘ve got about 20 different FFC schemas checking 20 different file types. In two months we‘ve check around 1000 files and FFC caught 3 bad files out of the 1000. This is fantastic as I would have 3 very upset customers if we had not caught these exceptions.
