Secure file sharing across hospitals has improved patient report reviews and collaboration
Reviewed on Dec 23, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
We are using GoAnywhere MFT in our software to create reports for patients, and we are placing those reports, which are basically PDF files, into GoAnywhere MFT so that different hospitals with their different software can fetch the reports. We use this to share PDF reports across the hospital chain.
In development, with GoAnywhere Secure Forms, we have a process where a patient report is created and then reviewed by multiple senior doctors, and for that purpose, we use this form to review and share feedback.
What is most valuable?
From my developer perspective, I appreciate GoAnywhere MFT because it supports almost all file transfer protocols including SFTP, HTTPS, and FTP, which are my main requirements since we are integrating from many third-party systems. The maximum file transfer support is the main feature I appreciate, as it is very useful for our operations.
The main benefits I have seen from using GoAnywhere MFT are related to data security because our patient reports are very critical, and it was very challenging for us to securely deliver these reports to different hospitals. This was our main challenge, and GoAnywhere MFT handles our data security needs very securely.
In terms of measurable benefits with GoAnywhere MFT, we have improved efficiency because we can now share secure files across our hospitals' networks very efficiently and safely.
GoAnywhere MFT has saved us time in securely connecting with the third parties we need to collaborate with, and I would give it a ten for security, as it is our main requirement.
The use of Secure Forms is useful for us in terms of getting feedback from multiple stakeholders, so it is beneficial for our operations.
What needs improvement?
Overall, GoAnywhere MFT is good for our organization, but sometimes we receive complaints from clients about lag, particularly when transferring larger files. We get feedback that it sometimes fails or takes too much time, causing operations to time out. I would appreciate improvements in performance.
I think GoAnywhere MFT could include more AI in the next release, as it deals with files containing lots of content, and broader AI integration would be a great help.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with GoAnywhere MFT for more than a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not experienced downtime with GoAnywhere MFT, but for large files, we do get reports from clients about timing out during transfers.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
GoAnywhere MFT is very scalable.
How are customer service and support?
We have connected with the technical support team multiple times after implementation while testing, but now everything is stable.
I would rate the technical support around nine on a scale of one to ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of GoAnywhere MFT was straightforward, as there was no complexity. We had some documentation from the vendor, and we followed the steps, and it worked.
What was our ROI?
GoAnywhere MFT is time-saving for us.
What other advice do I have?
We are using SharePoint as part of our GoAnywhere MFT integrations.
We have sufficient connectors to connect with other vendors using GoAnywhere MFT, so we are satisfied on that front.
The connectors provided by GoAnywhere MFT are very important because we need to connect to many third-party vendors, making them essential for our operations.
While we have achieved a lot with GoAnywhere MFT, we are communicating with additional vendors and will need a further solution to centralize processes.
I would advise other organizations considering GoAnywhere MFT that it is very good for handling secured file sharing across networks. I rate this product a nine overall.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
In my case, the most useful aspect of GoAnywhere MFT is the amount of effort it takes off tasks that are routine. Once configured, it manages a high frequency of movement of files between cloud systems and partner systems with minimal input. The manner it connects with our existing software simplifies our day to day activities. I also appreciate the vast array of features since it implies fewer hand corrective interventions and the removal of stress when it comes to external data exchanges.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem that I have with GoAnywhere MFT is that it can be so demanding when there are changes to be made. Modifications or integrations are time consuming. There are numerous features and it is easy to get things too complicated. This, at times, has slowed us down when partners required quick change and this can disrupt normal operations unless planned adjustments are made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The issue with unreliable and manual file transfers is addressed by GoAnywhere MFT. My team wasted too much time before using it checking failed jobs and resending files. Now, when there is correct implementation and good integration within the systems, then there are few cases of those problems. It is applicable to me and has made work done by teams easier since files come as expected. It liberates time and minimizes stress in day to day operations.
