    Automated secure file transfers have reduced manual work and improve monitoring and compliance

    Reviewed on Jun 01, 2026
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    I have been using GoAnywhere MFT  for around two years for secure file transfer and automation activities.

    I mainly use GoAnywhere MFT  for secure file transfer and automated data exchange between internal servers and external partners. For example, I use it to automate scheduled file transfers and monitor transfers for success or failures.

    Automating those transfers and monitoring for failures significantly impacts my daily work, as it has reduced manual effort and saved time for the operation team. Automated transfers and failure alerts help us avoid manual monitoring and ensure files are delivered securely and on time.

    GoAnywhere MFT  has also helped me with secure partner file sharing, scheduling recurring transfers, and maintaining audit logs for tracking file transfer activities.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features GoAnywhere MFT  offers include secure file transfer, automation, scheduling, centralized monitoring, detailed audit logs, and support for multiple transfer protocols like SFTP and HTTPS.

    I rely most on the automation and centralized monitoring features in my daily operations. The scheduling and alerting capabilities stand out because they help ensure file transfers run smoothly without constant manual intervention.

    Additionally, I find the audit logging and reporting very useful for troubleshooting and compliance tracking, especially when handling critical file transfers.

    GoAnywhere MFT positively impacts my organization by improving the security and reliability of my file transfer process. It has reduced manual effort, improved monitoring, and helped automate routing transfer activities across teams.

    Specific outcomes include reduced manual monitoring effort and improved reliability of scheduled file transfers. Automated workflows and alerts have helped save operational time and reduce transfer-related errors.

    What needs improvement?

    GoAnywhere MFT could be improved in terms of UI modernization and faster troubleshooting visibility for failed transfers, with more advanced reporting customization being very helpful.

    Better integration with other security tools would improve overall management, and faster response time for some complex support cases would also be beneficial.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working in my current field for over fourteen years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    GoAnywhere MFT has been stable in my environment and handles scheduled file transfer operations reliably with minimal issues.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    GoAnywhere MFT is scalable and can handle multiple automated workflows, users, and file transfer activity efficiently in an enterprise environment.

    How are customer service and support?

    My customer support experience has been good overall, as the support team is helpful during troubleshooting and technical issue resolution.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Previously, many file transfers were handled manually using scripts and standard SFTP tools. I moved to GoAnywhere MFT to get centralized management, automation, better monitoring, and secure audit tracking.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I evaluated a few other managed file transfer solutions, but GoAnywhere MFT was selected because of its automation capabilities, centralized monitoring, and ease of managing secure file transfers.

    Secure payroll transfers have improved auditing and now protect sensitive financial exchanges

    Reviewed on May 31, 2026
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    Managing file transfers from external partners to internal systems is my main use case for GoAnywhere MFT . I perform inbound and outbound operations using GoAnywhere MFT  where I can exchange file transfer data from external clients to our internal tools where we exchange payroll data and everything related to financial data.

    The main use case I use GoAnywhere MFT  for is financial data transfer from our organization to external organizations, payroll data, and file transfers.

    What is most valuable?

    GoAnywhere MFT  offers seamless file transmission where I can secure the files and perform auditing with end-to-end logs. The logging makes troubleshooting easier. For example, if I am facing any issues connecting to an external partner where I am performing inbound and outbound operations, I can check my logs and fix the issues as soon as possible.

    GoAnywhere MFT supports multiple protocols such as SFTP, AS2, FTP to S3 , and many more protocols. GoAnywhere MFT has impacted my organization significantly. My client is a financial background client where they have a bunch of financial data exchanging from internal systems to external systems, including financial data, financial transactions, and financial payroll. GoAnywhere MFT is a key pillar for us.

    GoAnywhere MFT helps us automate those flows and provides all the logs where I can fix issues on time and I feel more comfortable with file transmissions.

    What needs improvement?

    GoAnywhere MFT is working as expected. I think we are in the AI era and I believe we could add AI to GoAnywhere MFT where I could troubleshoot small errors without any human interaction. GoAnywhere MFT will work end-to-end as expected, and I think adding AI would enhance functionality for small-level troubleshooting.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for four and a half years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability with GoAnywhere MFT is good. I can check end-to-end file transfers.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support is excellent. Whenever I face any issues, I can reach out to customer support or fill out customer forms and I receive solutions.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I used another MFT tool called Axway MFT as well as Sterling. I recently performed a migration from Sterling to GoAnywhere MFT for seamless file transfer transmissions. I saw other MFT tools and comparing them to GoAnywhere MFT, GoAnywhere MFT comes with budget-friendly pricing and good architecture, excellent auditing capabilities, and it is a completely comprehensive MFT suite.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate GoAnywhere MFT nine point five out of ten because I prefer it over other MFT tools I have worked with. GoAnywhere MFT is very user-friendly and users can access logins and find issues as soon as possible while maintaining secure file transmissions.

    The governance and security are top-notch where I can send files using encryption and decrypt files using keys. The reliability is top-notch because the flow, auditing, and architecture level are excellent.

    My best advice is that if a company operates in the financial background, healthcare sector, or other finance-related fields, I would choose GoAnywhere MFT because it is budget-friendly and offers a full MFT suite where I can check end-to-end file transmissions and all the data. I believe GoAnywhere MFT is the best choice for MFT. My overall review rating for this product is nine point five out of ten.

    Easy to Use with Outstanding, Responsive Support

    Reviewed on May 26, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Support and ease of use. Most of the time with the easy UI and documentation I can figure things out on my own. Any time I have needed to contact support I get a timely and knowledgeable response. I almost forgot to mention the logging which has saved me multiple times when troubleshooting with our vendors. I don't have to reach out to the network team. I can see almost everything that is happening from the logs in the admin console.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The cost went up, but what hasn't gone up these days. And they handled that well since we had been customers for several years now. It would be easier to have multiple Admin console windows open or an easier way to copy code blocks between projects, but I have worked with much, much worse.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We needed a relatively easy on prem SFTP server with scheduling, and some integration capabilities. It has grown as we have with AWS and Azure service access. It has all the security and protocols we have needed.

    Efficient and Easy-to-Use File Transfer Solution

    Reviewed on May 26, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I feel that GoAnywhere MFT is a pretty solid tool. It's pretty straightforward, making it suitable for any beginner to implement workflows. The toolbox it provides is very wide and helpful for our organization. I also appreciate its integration capabilities, like with SFTP, native S3, SharePoint, and Azure Storage. The ease of implementation of workflows was notably faster than our previous IBM solution, and the architecture setup was similar, requiring only a few changes. Infrastructure-wise, setting up workflows from the previous tool was straightforward. I would recommend it to any organization looking for easy-to-set-up, centralized managed file transfer solutions, and I would give it a nine out of ten.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes its logging features are not too clear
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use GoAnywhere MFT for transfer solutions and workflow tasks like encryption and compression. It's straightforward, easy to implement, and provides a wide toolbox, making it beneficial for my organization.

    Reliable and Feature-Rich, Despite UI Challenges

    Reviewed on May 25, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like how GoAnywhere MFT makes file transfers easy and brings a good balance with its well-roundedness, combining ease of use with enterprise-level functionality. The automation capabilities, centralized management, and visibility into transfers have made our day-to-day operations much more manageable. I appreciate that it has all the enterprise features found in other products. Additionally, the initial setup was quite easy thanks to the POC, managed services, and the helpful support from our account management team. The guides and documentation were very easy to use, making it convenient for our experienced operations team.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    While GoAnywhere MFT is very capable, I guess some parts of the UI and the bulk flow configuration process feel a bit dated. It's not the most friendly system, especially for the newer admin we onboard; there's always a definite bit of a learning curve. Complex workflows and integrations can be challenging, but once you get the hang of it, I think it's manageable.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    GoAnywhere MFT centralizes data transfer, enhancing visibility and reliability. It reduces manual intervention and troubleshooting with automation, providing a single platform for various tasks. This streamlines managing internal systems and external partnerships, making operations more reliable and efficient for our team.
