Great product and easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
It allows users with limited skills in coding to create a project or product to support the organization's needs. Working with others on tasks and the forums gives more insight to different options
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much for dislikes to using this product aside from no being able to fully and easily manipulate it to be branded to use organizations colors or logos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to send files across secure channels and conducting house cleaning operations. The benefits to doing this is that we know how the steps are being done and the process' course of action to ensure reclamation of space and SLAs are met
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a quick tour with them or find a meeting they may have and watch what can be done
This is an easy to use highly flexible file transfer solution.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of the product. I can quickly get our developers up to speed on the product which allows them to be more secure and productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The error logging is good but in some instances i wish the errors were clearer and less vague.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a very decentralized and insecure approach to file transfers before GoAnywhere where each developer created there own method using unsecured FTP and storing user profiles and passwords in files and programs.
The GoAnywhere MFT solution really streamlined our companies IT Ops processes.
What do you like best about the product?
The admin portal is a really concise way to handle all of my MFT needs. Projects, monitors, logs, and encryption vaults are all at my fingertips and easily accessible. The stability and ease of use was very helpful as a newcomer to the IT space. We have seen a drastic improvement in the number of transmission errors or dropped connections compared to our free to use software. Support has been beyond excellent. Upgrades have been seamless. I couldn't be happier with this product and will push to have this at any company I'm associated with.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that i dislike is that i am not able to set monitors on a specific day of the month. Some cross server functionality has some issues but there is always a workaround if you look hard enough. Syntax is a little weird so I also found myself contacting support often when looking into figuring out a new task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere in our organization is mostly used for its MFT benefits. It handles file transfers, encryption, and web portals for Clients flawlessly. Logs are most important though as everything in GoAnywhere is audit-able and it is a life saver.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
10/10 software and support. I wouldn't recommend any MFT solution over this one.
Go anywhere with Goanywhere
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like the best is it is pretty much click and go and it is able to be put on a scheduler.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not seen any downsides to using GoAnywhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to send file from the IFS to a local server for the clients. This way they do not have access to the production IFS server.
The product is easy to implement and it works very well
What do you like best about the product?
The knowledgeable support and on-line publications.
What do you dislike about the product?
GUI product administration. Although it is very intuitive, there are so many options on so many screens. It is not always easy to find something specific.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Encrypted/secure FTP automated.
GA MFT Offers Outstanding Features and Usability
What do you like best about the product?
The product is comprehensive, easy to manage and very easy to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The upgrade process for clustered MFTs could be smoother.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure file transfer via SFTP and HTTPS. It has greatly improved the workflow in this area and has been simple to support.
Easy, Efficient and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
The product is very easy to use and configure for our systems, where I can send the end users for my organization to a single point and they simply upload and files automatically are ingested into our product.
What I have further found is the powerful workflow (project) capabilities of GoAnywhere MFT where we can add logic to the files, users, REST Endpoints, and this is making this product far more powerful than I originally thought it could be.
Our use of this product is currently for moving files from our MFT server to various servers using some logic and applying those files to the correct locations.
Other usages that we have are to pull files from various locations, and also now we are able to manipulate users and perform other logical events using the Projects functionality.
What we have been able to implement user manipulation using separate coding through Python to leverage the APIs which are provided by GoAnywhere. We have also been using the Apis for uploading files.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think one thing which end users are sometimes complaining about is the speed of uploads from the web UI, from the FTP client uploads are much quicker but our end users aren't always savvy to use the FTP clients.
The end users have suggested that a more user friendly UI could be of benefit because they would expect the upload location to be something like under a /ftp folder or a /root folder, but the UI only shows their main folder, which then we have to manually add a false folder called FTP or root.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The product will ingest files into a system from a given location. End users are business users and not always technical so what this product has allowed us to do is provide the end users with a single point for file uploads and the files are then quickly and easily ingested into our product.
Users who previously would have had difficulties or required assistance to ingest files into the system, have now been able to upload and ingest files much faster, and it has also allowed us to expand the end user base so that more people are able to use the system.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask about all of the possibilities and additional functionality of the product. You may find that the product might be able to do more than you expected and be able to solve other needs for you which you weren't aware of.
Providing a more robust Web Services User Guide with full examples using Java, Python or Node. This would allow end users to implement those with a bit more ease.

One of the top MFT tools
What do you like best about the product?
Fast efficient and mutli platform MFT solution. Combining a very good File transfer server supporting SFTP, FTPS, and HTTPS and adds a very powerful scripting engine. This means we have been able to connect the scripts to read CSV files and write data directly into databases, have also hooked GAMFT to monitor fields in Salesforce and can trigger actions if needed.
Our system is very heavily used with in excess of 4000 processes spread accross 150ish customers handleing millions of files movements every month between internal systems.
GAMFT can be hooked into many different end points to either extract information or push data to.
Support is generally very good.

GoAnywhere MFT Customer Review
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that you can customize the product to your needs, as opposed to an out of the box solution with little to no flexibility. The product is extremely flexible and allows you to create workflows that are specific to your business use case. There is also the security aspect of the application. The product has built in auditing tools to complement our vulnerability management and PEN testing tools to ensure compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest the only thing I would improve is the ability to assign more granular security permissions for end user folders and files. We are limited in the ability to enable users to create / delete files and folders in our client directories. For instance our users can create folders for clients to organize documents for uploads, but we cannot also enable them to delete folders for the client without giving them excess permissions in the directory structure above the client folder structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere was chosen to replace a competitor’s product that was not meeting our needs.
The product is being used to enable our audit clients (mainly healthcare entities) to transfer files to our staff for financial audits. The product is configured to be HIPAA compliant from a data at rest standpoint as well as data in motion.
The tool enables our clients to use a variety of clients for file uploads. We were able to create a customized notification system in the application to enable users who receive files to be notified that files are awaiting pickup.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that any customer considering the product go through a POC process with the team at HelpSystems in order to understand all the aspects of the product that can be leveraged for use. We did a POC of the product, and were introduced to a world of functionality that our prior vendor could not provide.
