Secure encrypted file sharing has transformed how we transfer large client data and code
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is file transfer. Before using GoAnywhere MFT for file transfer, we could only transfer 2GB of data using one of the free tools, but after we started using GoAnywhere, our files are very secure and encrypted because we work on client data, so we can securely share all the database and all the code with our clients.
We started using GoAnywhere MFT four months ago, and our major use case is file transfer because we are working on some tools related to banking and e-commerce, so we use this tool for sending data to our clients.
What is most valuable?
The best feature of GoAnywhere MFT, in my opinion, is file sharing in encrypted form. The encryption feature in GoAnywhere MFT stands out for me because while the initial setup is a bit complicated, the encrypted use cases are excellent compared to other tools, which is why we can use this tool.
I would add that GoAnywhere MFT includes secure transfer protocols such as HTTPS, SFTP, and FTPS and more advanced B2B standards, and the encryption, authentication, and access control are features I appreciate most, along with reporting. GoAnywhere MFT has impacted my organization positively, with security being the most important reason we use this tool.

GoAnywhere MFT pricing is fine for me. I do not have any complaints regarding the pricing because SFTP is the most valuable asset in the organization.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Regarding alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT, I previously used SFTP directly on the server. I have not used any third-party alternative, and this is the first managed file transfer solution I have used.
What other advice do I have?
I have not currently used connectors for Salesforce, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and other services.
When I first started using GoAnywhere MFT, it took around two days to set up everything because SFTP requires all port openings and proper configuration. From my experience, GoAnywhere MFT does not require any maintenance on my end.
My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.
