Your the only choice for self-managed MFT solution in Kubernetes
Reviewed on Mar 04, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
it is written in Java, vendor provides official Docker image, many features (processing files, downloading, uploading, processing file content, anti-virus), fast and stable, many plugins for cloud services (we use Azure Data Lake, Sharepoint and Google Cloud Storage, but there are many others), PCI DSS compliant (encrypted folders), easy handling of the attached DB content (backup, migration, etc.) from the UI, HA capabilities. The product very extended capabilities in configuring templates of workflows which can be easily parametrized and reused to setup many integrations using one re-usable template.
What do you dislike about the product?
Deployment in Azure AKS requires some manual steps (DB setup, licensing) which have to be managed manually (during initial setup), the vendor is working on K8S support and helm charts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed to setup self-managed, cloud native MFT solution in Azure Kubernetes (AKS) thanks to the product. NO other MFT vendor offers a Docker image and mostly other products require Windows OS to install a product. We configured about ~100 integrations and another 200 are in a queue, so the target will be to process over a million of files daily. We use sftp (pull, push), Azure Data Lake, Google cloud storage and Sharepoint as sources and targets of our integration. We setup templates of one file: puller, sender and processor templates which are re-used in all integrations. We do rename, (un)compress files, use trigger files and some of the files contain PCI data.

Secure and automated file transfers for businesses
Reviewed on Mar 04, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things about GoAnywhere MFT is how it secures and automates file transfers so that confidential data is protected as it moves from point to point. It is used by our team to cut down on manual involvement and move files between departments and external partners. I like its scheduling utility, the ability to schedule transfers before time. This has allowed us to keep consistency in file exchanges, so that we are sending and receiving the file when we need to, without having to intervene.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of GoAnywhere MFT is that error logs aren’t detailed enough when a transfer fails. If anything does not go as expected, the system gives you very little information of what went wrong. It has resulted in situations where certain file exchanges take longer than they should, and troubleshooting takes longer than it should. Additionally, the time slated for configuring new workflow turns out to require somewhat more manual setup than is suggested by the features available. The maintenance has been more time consuming than anticipated due to these factors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With GoAnywhere MFT there is no more time wasting manually securing and verifying file transfers. Previously, encrypting and reviewing each document was too time consuming and prone to mistakes. Everything is encrypted on its own, no extra manual work required, and it figures that data remains protected. This has been a great improvement in handling financial documents and sensitive business records, speeding up the process and at the same time making it more secure and less prone to human error.
