GoAnywhere Enterprise Solution
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere is an extremely versatile and multi-faceted MFT tool. I have yet to run into something that it can't do. And we've barely the scratched the surface of using it for automation & API integration. We've also been able to have it integrate with our AWS, GCP and SharePoint environments easily. I've had to engage help and support on many instances and they have always provided great assistance in a timely manner. Would recommend GoAnywhere with two thumbs up
We use it daily for 100s of a job between various environments. It was easy to transfer old jobs to it and integrate new jobs. The implementation was helped by the support team at Fortra providing expert advice.
Overall its a great & versatile tool. Bit of a learning curve (especially if you haven't done any object oriented programming before). But the biggest strength is that it integrates really well with older systems (FTP environments, on-prem servers) and also with newer cloud environments (SharePoint, AWS, GCP)

What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, some of the more advanced functions within cloud environments are still being developed. So while Fortra is quick to add things in we have had some delays waiting for an exact feature or integration to be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to transfer tons of files between different financial institutions and oursleves. GoAnywhere provides the tool necessary to automate these processes securely. I have the assurance that no matter what environment, protocol, cert or encryption someoene else is using - I can do it in GoAnywhere.

GoAnywhere is fully functional for sFTP transfers between third parties and your company. Offers industry-standard ways of encrypting the data and relatively easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support can take a while to respond. I often have to escalate my requests to my customer success rep.

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ease of use of GoAnywhere MFT. I found the installation process to be straightforward and simple. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage file transfers efficiently. The comprehensive documentation and support resources available also contribute to a smooth user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, I am not fond of the complex and outdated licensing system. The product could benefit from a simpler pricing model. The current licensing structure can be confusing and may deter potential users from fully leveraging the capabilities of GoAnywhere MFT. Additionally, the cost associated with the licenses can be quite high, which might not be justifiable for smaller organizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT is solving several key problems for us. Firstly, it has significantly simplified the management of file transfers. The platform's user-friendly interface and automation capabilities make it easy to schedule, monitor, and manage file transfers efficiently. This has saved us a considerable amount of time and reduced the risk of errors associated with manual file transfers.
Additionally, GoAnywhere MFT offers modern security features that ensure our data is protected during transit and at rest. The robust encryption and secure protocols provide peace of mind, knowing that our sensitive information is safe from unauthorized access and potential breaches.

Me and MFT
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of implmentation and learning the product. Creating projects and resources is semi-intuitive, as long as you have a basic understanding of workflows and sudo code. Each page you navigate to has a helpful "?" you can click on to get full details on all options available for use.
What do you dislike about the product?
We really like the product, but support has declined over the past few years. I believe this is primarily due to the product’s growing popularity and an insufficient support team to handle all technical requests. Additionally, since we are on the IBM i system, I feel that much of the IBM i expertise has been lost over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere is solving all of our workflow automation in a common language (XML) that helps us interconnect multiple systems of different types.
not good company
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT functions as an excellent managed file transfer solution which brings substantial improvements to our data transfer operations. GoAnywhere MFT provides an intuitive interface that enables all users including non-technical staff to move through its system. Through automation we complete work tasks and eliminate human mistakes as well as minimize time consumption. The solution provides complete data protection through data encryption and access control features which ensures the security of sensitive information when transfers occur.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team has faced minor problems during GoAnywhere MFT usage because of delays in file synchronization with big files. The software needs an improved mechanism to manage failed transfers since it currently demands user assistance to fix such issues. The problems we have encountered with GoAnywhere MFT do not disrupt our main operational processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization previously faced difficulties both in moving big files and protecting their security. GoAnywhere MFT established an efficient solution to handle secure file transfer operations. The software eliminates our need to spend time searching for email approvals because it processes them automatically. Our team now dedicates more time to other tasks because we eliminated manual errors through the software platform.
Leading contender in the MFT market
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to build workflows which can provide great functionality
What do you dislike about the product?
As someone who trains other people on the software, my pet hate is the naming of end users as 'webusers', this confuses so many people who associate 'web' with https only.
Also, I prefer the menus spread horizontally rather than the newer vertical arrangement - this takes up too much space.

What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup and configuration can be complex, particularly for companies without extensive experience in MFT solutions or server configuration. The process can be time-consuming, especially in environments with detailed security requirements.
The software UI seems somewhat outdated and unintuitive, especially for complex workflows. This can make navigating and configuring workflows less time efficient.
Due to its complexity, a regular IT person can often find themselves dependent on technical support, especially when configuring complex workflows or resolving specific issues.
Although GoAnywhere has its extensive capabilities, utilising advanced features effectively requires training or experience, as there’s a significant learning curve for scripting and workflow customization.
