Empowers secure and rapid data transfer with excellent support service
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
My favorite feature of GoAnywhere MFT is the encryption that is provided, which is very appreciable. In terms of other favorite features, I would say the triggers and the scheduling option that it provides. Also, there's a service called the FileCatalyst service in GoAnywhere MFT that allows us to send larger files in a much quicker fashion, approximately five or six times quicker than a regular file transfer, so that is also one of the cool features about GoAnywhere MFT.
We immediately saw the benefits of GoAnywhere MFT because it is a cloud-based solution and that is where we were lacking in transferring data in a more secure manner. We were struggling with that, so with GoAnywhere MFT, we were able to resolve this immediately.
What needs improvement?
The cloud connectivity of GoAnywhere MFT to connect to different applications such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon, or Google Cloud could improve, as it's a little bit patchy right now. They do provide it, which is very good, but it's a little bit patchy. Apart from that, I don't think there's anything else that they can improve.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for about a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The GoAnywhere MFT platform hasn't crashed or experienced any issues so far; it's pretty smooth. This being a cloud solution for us depends on our internet connectivity, so it is quite stable. Only the connection with other applications that I mentioned earlier could improve, but apart from that, it's pretty stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, it's quite scalable as more and more data we keep on adding. The size of the files that we continue to transfer via GoAnywhere MFT has increased from the day we started to now.

My Audit Ally Against Time zone challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it automates repetitive tasks like sending reports to the onshores or uploading bulk data to our cloud storage. Its been an ally really. Also the auditing and reporting tools have been invaluable for compliance checks especially since we handle HIPAA regulated data. Its these little things that have made my work easier and less stressful. The dashboard is easy to use for monitoring and the detailed audit logs help with compliance audits. I have integrated it with Outlook and SQL and they run perfectly. It allows users to schedule file transfers at specific times adjustable to different time zones.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I like the least would be that it does not allow proper tableau integration which is a major downside for data analysts specifically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a data analyst at a multinational auditing firm. I am constantly dealing with clients across the globe which makes managing time zone gaps a hassle. But Goanywhere Mft has been a lifesaver automating and scheduling secure data transfers to match everyone's crazy schedule. Which honestly saves me a bunch of time throughout the day. I love that i can set it to pull US audit logs at 2 am or send reports to Ireland at 9 it gets the job done. Overall this has been cut out so much grunt work and stress.
Amazing MFT

Secure Transfers Made Easy, Needs UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for approximately one year, primarily to manage secure file transfers across our organization and with external partners. I appreciate its automation capabilities for file workflows and encryption of sensitive data, which ensure compliance with data protection regulations. The robust security features and automation capabilities were key factors in selecting GoAnywhere MFT over other options, as they replaced our previous manual processes and some disconnected tools effectively. The implementation process was straightforward and enabled us to quickly centralize our file transfer workflows. I find the ease of integration with existing systems, comprehensive security features, user and role management, and centralized management view to be extremely beneficial. Additionally, the ability to monitor different transfers from a single interface provides enhanced visibility and control across the organization. These features have significantly improved our efficiency and security.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the user interface for configuring advanced automation tasks to be somewhat challenging. Although the platform is powerful, the more complex workflows and scripting features can become a bit technical and overwhelming for new users. I believe improving these aspects would simplify the learning curve for customers who are beginning to use the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure data transfer, reducing human error and ensuring compliance. It centralizes workflows and encrypts sensitive data, greatly improving efficiency and security across my organization.
