GoAnywhere MFT is the lifeblood of our automation for our SMB
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use for automation of routines. The full feature set provided by the system is world-class, and supporting the system from an SRE perspective is a breeze. Support has always been fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features require additional licensing or infrastructure to be provisioned. Large projects can be difficult to reverse engineer without good documentation from your developers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All things data are run through MFT. Automating push/pulls of files over SFTP, running automated database queries, generating flat file exports for ingest into downstream systems, and hitting application REST URIs to kick off processes in an automated fashion.
GoAnywhere - Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
We were able to seamlessly convert from our previous SFTP product, as GoAnywhere allowed us to import all of our User ID's. It took a little while to understand how to build the automated scripts to process incoming files, but we received a fair amount of training and hands-on consulting to get us going. Now that we have all of our scripts written, our process has dramatically improved!
What do you dislike about the product?
The MFT code can be a little difficult to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The manual process we used to perform to decrypt files and move them to their proper location was painful. This has now happens instantly! It saves both time as well as lessens mistakes.
Straight Forward and Useful MFT Service
What do you like best about the product?
The management console allows for precise, granular access to the MFT product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gateway configuration and changes are not necessarily intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized control of MFT processes for application use.
GoAnywhereMFT is very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the dashboard the best. It is so easy to get where you need to be and laid out and organized well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is nothing that I dislike about the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is nice to have a secure way to share data that may have PHI in it. It takes all the worry out of how to get stuff where it needs to be and you can get a new user added and share data with them within 5 minutes which is very benificial.
Highly recommended data transfer and workflow engine.
What do you like best about the product?
Natively support dozens of data transfer protocols, and with advanced workflows has become a single point solution for all data movement. The product remains current, with new features and upgrades published regularly. Additionally, plugins available for purchase support advanced cloud computing. The software is managed via an easily navigable GUI, and workflows are built using a drag and drop interface. The product can easily be clustered to provide load balancing and failover support for mission-critical transfers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the number of upgrades and new features being developed, the wait time for a requested update or a new feature can be quite long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have combined all of our file transfers into a single integrated solution with central administration. Using advanced workflows we can deliver files to multiple backend systems with positive delivery confirmation and a central archive. GoAnywhere MFT has reduced support effort from separate legacy methods by more than 70%.
More Than Just Moving Files
What do you like best about the product?
Well thought out project components that allow for high-level programmability of tasks. From While loops to if statements, the components typically allow you to manipulate the needed data. If not, there's also the native command that can call a custom-built console app as required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality around rowsets could be improved. Items like Left/Right/Inner/outer joins would be nice, as well as being able to iterate through a rowset and manipulate a specific column in that row.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have implemented MFT to transfer files between multiple environments (hosting, on-prem, cloud); during transfer, translations of inbound files apply to meet the outbound specs. We also use GA MFT as our EDI engine for many of the interfaces we have with our customers and vendors.
Been pleased with GoAnywhere!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, lots of functionality, good customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
While GoAnywhere includes reading from and writing to Excel, it seems to be very memory intensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize GoAnywhere for our MFT tasks as well as many of our automation tasks, including orchestrating ETL and reporting processes

One feature caused more issues than it did good
What do you like best about the product?
How the Monitors work, and the Projects/programming, although they don't call it programming...
What do you dislike about the product?
Some unexpected defects of various significance. One of them being the user quota feature causing major performance degradations. Lack of explicit system/platform requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Combining file servers for two external protocols with automation. We push/pull files externally as well as move files internally.
