Automation has improved secure data transfers and compliance visibility for financial workflows
What is our primary use case?
As a Service Delivery Manager, my main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is to securely automate file transfer between internal systems and external partners, ensuring that the compliance of both the internal organization and the customer organization is met. I also use this for encrypted transfer of files and for end-to-end visibility of all data movements.
One key workflow I automated with GoAnywhere MFT is the daily SFTP transfer of large financial reports from my internal data warehouse to a client's secure endpoint. The workflow includes PGP encryption, automatic retry logic, email alerts on failure, and audit logging, which has reduced my manual intervention and improved both security and the reliability of my team.
Apart from this, I also use GoAnywhere MFT to automate scheduled data feeds between my internal application and third-party vendors using secure protocols as well as APIs, which include validation steps, error handling, and audit tracking.
What is most valuable?
GoAnywhere MFT offers strong security and encryption support to various secure protocols like SFTP, FTP, FTPS, and HTTPS, along with automated workflow and scheduling features. I can build automated processes with triggers and folder monitoring to ensure that the files are transferred and processing happens without manual interruption. The audit and compliance support provide a single interface to manage all transfers with detailed audit reporting and report generation, which helps me comply with security compliance standards such as PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR.
The biggest difference GoAnywhere MFT made to my company is that it provided strong encryption, secure protocols, and centralized access control, significantly improving how I protect my sensitive data during transfer and reducing the risk of compliance issues and data breaches.
A handy feature I appreciate is the inbuilt alerting and notification system, which immediately notifies me if there is a failure or delay in the task, helping my team respond faster and maintain the SLAs.
Overall, GoAnywhere MFT has positively impacted my organization by reducing manual effort through automation, strengthening data security with encrypted and secure transfer protocols, and simplifying compliance with centralized audit logs for adherence to my compliance requirements. I have reduced manual transfer work by approximately 30 to 35 percent through the automation GoAnywhere MFT provides, and I have also noticed a significant drop in my transfer errors now that validation is done by GoAnywhere MFT, along with centralized audit logs and reporting.
What needs improvement?
While there is not a lot for improvement, the UI interface could use a modern touch to avoid its outdated appearance for faster navigation in the console.
Regarding the integration aspect, it would be beneficial for GoAnywhere MFT to provide out-of-the-box connectors for modern SAP platforms, and having faster support ticket responses along with more proactive guidance on better configuration practices would greatly assist my team managing larger workloads.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for the last two and a half years.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others considering GoAnywhere MFT is that it is very powerful, and they should utilize the training provided by the vendors to maximize the use of the software. I recommend leveraging its automation features early and setting up clear monitoring and alerts so that issues can be quickly detected. Additionally, it is essential to plan the workflows and security requirements before the purchase or implementation of this product. I would rate my experience with GoAnywhere MFT as an eight out of ten.

Streamlined Data Transfers, But Needs a UI Refresh
What do you like best about the product?
I love the modular project designer in GoAnywhere MFT. It's fantastic because I can drag and drop elements without having to write complex syntax.

It's just like watching a straightforward process.

Secure and automated file transfers across departments
What do you like best about the product?
In my case, the most effective feature of the GoAnywhere MFT is that it handles file transfers between systems in a secure and systematized manner. Its implementation was not very difficult, and I frequently use it, and therefore, my usage rate is high. There are many features, such as file handling features that are encrypted, automated tasks as well as workflow checks that make sure that sensitive data is never compromised. It has reduced the errors of manuals and this has relieved time to complete other valuable jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The negative aspect of the GoAnywhere MFT is that some workflows on automated transfer are not always intuitive initially. These limits are felt even with a strong number of features with a high frequency of usage. Customer support is attentive, yet answering more complex setups may require longer than anticipated, whereby sometimes the team may need to alter tasks manually, so that transfers can be done successfully and error-free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT resolved the problem of having to manually manage the transfer of sensitive files. I have it often so the frequency of use is high since I find it easy to implement. Reliability and security are guaranteed by the number of functions, such as automated approvals, encryption, and scheduled transfers. It has simplified procedures, minimized the number of errors and has enabled the team to concentrate on the more important work rather than spending time constantly checking and transferring files by hand.
Reliable File Transfer with Room for UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure file transfers, and I appreciate how it centralizes all our file exchange processes and ensures compliance with security and audit requirements. I find it reliable once everything is set up, and I don't have to worry about whether the files actually moved or if something got stuck halfway. The flexible workflows and the ease of integration with different systems, like SFTP servers, APIs, or cloud storage services, make the setup feel pretty straightforward. I also appreciate the scheduling features and how the software helps me track job statuses and get alerts in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can feel a bit dated and sometimes it takes too many clicks to find what I need. Some of the more advanced settings also have a learning curve, so it's not always obvious how to set things up the first time. The initial setup was manageable, but not exactly 'plug and play'. Once we started configuring more complex workflows and connections, the learning curve showed up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure file transfers, centralizing the process, replacing manual steps, and ensuring compliance with security requirements. It solves the problem of difficult tracking and errors by centralizing transfers and ensures files are securely sent on time.
