Great product which helped us to be compliant to Industry standard practices!

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have an Enterprise level MFT service established and being provided to our Businesses using the GoAnywhere product. Most helpful is that the product is all configurable and easy to use! That helps us to have a broader team that can maintain the tool/service instead of having SMEs.
What do you dislike about the product?
My suggestion would be to spend more thoughtfulness on the Product Technical Support. It would be an excellent asset for the longterm roadmap of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have established an Enterprise level MFT service for Businesses using the GoAnywhere MFT product. GoAnywhere MFT product has helped us to be compliant and latest on Industry standards etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The team at HelpSystems is quite helpful! If you want to explore or are already exploring the product, my suggestion would be to keep active communication with the team. They would be able to help pretty fast, expediting your exploration. In our exploration, we could not find a feature Out-of-Box available, and the team was accommodating to jump on a call and help us by suggesting a few tips/alternatives.

I have a good overview of the settings and the reports

I would like to have more options to select files to be transported.
For example: take the 100 oldest files

we move about 10'000 Files every day from and to 50 Locations.
And we use the file reporting to get a differentiated evaluation of all transports

GoAnywhere makes distribution of files and reports easy

  • February 18, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of cloning existing jobs to create new function.

The replacement of paper printing with file or PDF distribution
What do you dislike about the product?
When cloning a job sometimes a blank character is left in the rightmost name , this is not easily spotted because a job will execute correctly from GOANYWHERE but will fail when the batch on the I series does not include the blank.
easily corrected by changing the name, but annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mailing reports & Excel files directly to our external partners

GoAnywhere MFT - Excellent product, simplifies complex file transfers requirement

  • January 29, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to manage and control file transfers in single location.
Excellent auditing, reporting and SLA functionality for file transfers.
MFT Gateway has eliminated requirement to hold customer data in external SFTP servers.
PGP Encryption support.
Wide range of resources available (SFTP, Network, Web Services, Databases, Mail) with flexible workflow tool allows solution to extend beyond file transfers, data loading into downstream databases, integrating with web services, mailboxes.
Excellent community engagement via standard web site, support and insiders channel, one of the best levels of engagement I've seen from software provider, including initial engagement with free trial to support proof of concept and support from technical resources really helped in the selection process.
What do you dislike about the product?
No major dislikes on the product, error reporting can sometimes be a little misleading for example long java error message generated if you if you click on web login after session has expired as opposed to refreshing page. Similar long error stack when resource connection fails, which could be handled or reported on more concisely.

Initially took some time to get familiar with the scripting language and working with dates/timestamps within the workflow tool, examples provided in the integrated documentation, feedback from support and resources available on website though helped get over these issues quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially purchased for a specific project with tight delivery timeline to implement multiple complex file transfer requirements. GoAnywhere MFT was central to the successful delivery of that project, and has become central for managing all new and future requirements related to file transfers.
Any transfer related use case we've needed to solve for the business has being greatly simplified with the GoAnywhere MFT.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that you take advantage of the trial and support provided, as it's a great way to quickly product up and running see the benefits it can deliver via central management of file transfers.

A simplified way to accomplish complex data transfer

  • October 21, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is simple enough to learn quickly, but powerful enough to cover most of our data translation and transfer needs, including web services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is missing some aids, like automatic column numbering and easy renumbering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved complex problems in a short time with multi-platform data integration, that otherwise would have taken long time and programming effort.

Simple and full of useful features

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can use this tool to integrate data from several sources in a seamless way, create your own process logic, and monitor everything with a fully customizable dashboard, without the need to write a single line of code, it’s plenty of features, compatible with almost any data source as databases, plain files, mailboxes, network shares and man6 other
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing we’re missing I’d the ability to connect to web services with oauth2 authentication ,like some stored in Azure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using MFT to automate data transfers between several internal and external services, replacing traditional ftp/sftp servers basen on Windows and Linux, integrate data with our ERP and monitor all those processes
