Clear Reports and Intuitive Interface Make Workflow Automation Easy

  • December 01, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that the reports are clear and customizable, making it easy to set up automated workflows. I especially like the ability to clone tasks, and its intuitive interface makes setup and use simple. It has been a reliable tool for managing secure transfers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there should be greater flexibility in how users are alerted before deadlines. In my experience, certain parts of the backend are a bit complex to handle, and managing version updates can sometimes be challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the main benefits is the audit log, which is a significant asset for regulatory compliance and is easy to set up with little training required. It has notably decreased the amount of time our development team needs for implementation and has made the process of creating automated scripts much more straightforward.

Automation has transformed secure credential file transfers and now centralizes cloud data workflows with detailed audit visibility

  • November 27, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I use GoAnywhere MFT for automating and securing file transfers because our company mainly uses credential data. It is very mandatory to transfer it very securely. We use SFTP and FTPS for data file transfer for ERP, CRM, or databases. We also have trading partners, so it is very essential to transfer the data securely.

The main connection is AWS S3, as we use S3 for our primary storage. We have also connected GoAnywhere MFT to Salesforce. We connect it with Azure Blob for unstructured data. We have integrated AWS, Azure, and Salesforce.

For operations, we access control for administrators and external users through GoAnywhere's connectors. We authenticate against Active Directory. GoAnywhere has gateways to prevent firewall access and has a very secure network system. It is really helpful for connecting all these cloud platforms. The main reason is auditing. The detailed centralized audit logs and reporting are invaluable. Sometimes we lost lots of data, so it helps us keep backups.

The connectors are very important in GoAnywhere MFT. Connection with cloud is a crucial process because there is no chance of any errors. In that scenario, connectors properly handle all the network and all the audit logs. Connectors are very essential. Without connectors, we cannot do it manually because it gets very difficult to maintain all this process.

Till now, I personally do not use GoAnywhere Agents. My seniors have used it a lot, but I do not have any hands-on experience with that right now.

We use many lots of data in the form of secure forms, such as survey forms or employee forms. We use it a lot in our data pipelines.

In one project, I used the secure form. The scenario was about the landing pages of the GoAnywhere MFT server or something. The main process was that data collection was there and allows our organization to collect files and structured data. Forms and metadata from external parties are collected directly onto the secure environment. We have used secure forms whenever we collect the data from a third party. When we collect the data from a third party, there might be a lot of incorrect data or null values, so we have used the secure form there.

We mostly use GoFast feature on large data sets. On many cloud platforms, it took a long time to process that data or to transfer that data because we use terabytes of data in the daily workflow. GoFast really helps us transmit that data or do all the ETL processes on that data so efficiently and in a fast manner. Our ETL process was very slow on the traditional database, but when we started using GoAnywhere MFT, the whole workflow or data pipeline got very faster. It is a great feature for us.

Whenever we do meetings, I analyze all the timing saved because of all the automation in GoAnywhere MFT. Right now in our company, because of the automation processes, our DevOps team is saving time around 45 percent to 50 percent overall because of the automation. We are still improving our whole infrastructure and workflows for 70 percent to 80 percent automation, which will save the time around 60 percent to 70 percent. Right now 40 percent to 50 percent time is saving because of GoAnywhere MFT and automation.

I have multiple automations or processes happening within my organization, but they run on different platforms, such as different servers or using different APIs.

There is an individual team to manage these processes. I mainly work with data engineers to help them manage the data extraction, the cloud platform, and the infrastructure of our cloud platform. There is an individual team which has all the responsibilities of their respective departments. Each department has their tools and all the technicalities. I know about my tools. We use GoAnywhere MFT for file transfer, AWS and Azure for cloud, I also use Snowflake for sometimes helping the data engineers, and Docker.

What is most valuable?

The main reason behind using GoAnywhere MFT is automation. Earlier, we used to do many manual processes for maintaining all the data pipelines, and we were planning for automation. GoAnywhere MFT really helps in this scenario because it eliminates all the manual scripting in Linux and reduces human errors. It significantly saves time. Its protocols are very secure as compared to other platforms. It ensures data is encrypted in transmission and also for backup. The audit trails and reporting are very helpful. All these features are really helpful in our daily work.

The whole impact of using GoAnywhere MFT was very positive from the starting. It has significantly improved our security by centralizing all the file transfers under one secure and auditable platform. It has also boosted operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and allowing our whole IT staff to focus on higher-value work. It has definitely added overall positive impact on our organization.

What needs improvement?

I do not think there is any improvement needed in GoAnywhere MFT because right now it is working great. The UI is a little bit old and could be improved, but overall, it is the best. Till now, I do not have any complaints about that.

I would really want to see AI integration in GoAnywhere MFT. Right now, I cannot say all the processes are on automation. There is a need for human process. If the AI integration would be there for whole automation in the future, it will be very fine because it took a little bit of time. AI integration would be better for all the automation processes.

For how long have I used the solution?

It has been around 1.5 to 1.7 years that I have been working with GoAnywhere MFT as a DevOps engineer.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Regarding the experience with the stability of GoAnywhere MFT, I would say it is 80 percent to 90 percent stable. We have faced some kind of bugs or it took some loading time whenever the data set is very large, but it is okay. All the platforms take some time to load the data. We never faced any major bugs or major loads. It works efficiently and it is quite stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have integrated GoAnywhere MFT with our cloud platform, so it is very scalable because we have to keep our whole architecture and cloud platform scalable. We extract lots of streaming data from our clients or our customers, so we have to be prepared for scaling. That is the reason to use GoAnywhere MFT along with the cloud platform because it provides the best scalability. We never faced any issue about scalability such as shortage of storage or any other kind of issue. It is very scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support for GoAnywhere MFT is very helpful. Personally, I have connected with them many times for learning the new features. When I was facing some learning issues in a feature, they helped me many times. Whenever we faced any issue such as some bugs or service errors, we have connected them and they really solve all the problems in a very quick manner. Their customer service is very great. Sometimes they took some long time to solve the issue, but they definitely solve the issue.

I would say nine because the tech support is great for GoAnywhere MFT. They really solve our problems which satisfies us. The platform is also very stable, scalable, and powerful. It is totally reliable to add it in our work. I would say nine out of ten to the customer service.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I just came here at this company, Proton Labs, one year ago, so I do not know about which platform they were using before GoAnywhere MFT. They have been using this software from the last two to two and a half years, so I do not know which tool they were using before that.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is not so complicated. The installation is very straightforward, especially with the platform being multi-platform compatible. We have installed it on Windows, Linux, and also on hybrid cloud. The configuration is very basic. It does not need any complicated learning or any experts' visionary. There was some challenging part that the complexity of designing and the fine-tuning is very advanced, so it needs some expert expertise. Otherwise, all the installation was very straightforward.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We only use GoAnywhere MFT for that before.

What other advice do I have?

I have a little idea about that from the pricing point of view regarding GoAnywhere MFT. As compared to other tools, such as clouds like GCP or AWS, I would say it is quite affordable in comparison with these cloud platforms and any other tools. It is quietly on the higher side, but it is okay because it provides a wonderful service. The customer service is great, so it is worth it.

I do not have any idea about the pricing, but I would say in case of benefits, GoAnywhere MFT really saves our time because before using it, my manager said the whole process was on manual mode and it was very time-consuming. Right now, our 50 percent to 60 percent workflow is on automation. The ETL process is on automation via GoAnywhere MFT to the cloud. It really saves our time. I can tell about time saving, but I do not have any idea about pricing.

I would recommend GoAnywhere MFT to a colleague at another company who says they the features, but the price of the solution is a bit high. It is primarily for organizations that need centralized and secure and automate a high volume of file transfer to meet their security and all the requirements. Only if they are ready to invest on the higher side. GoAnywhere MFT is really providing a great service, so they have to invest in it, even if it is on the higher side. It is their choice. I would recommend that it is a very good platform and it is really secure and helps to automate all the things in file transfer. I would definitely want to recommend them, but it is their choice after all, about the price.

The one major recommendation I would give about GoAnywhere MFT is to use it very securely because one error could just interrupt your whole file transfer or might lose your credential data. Use it very securely because one error could really lose your credential data. I would give this review a rating of nine out of ten.

Automates secure file transfers and workflows while centralizing administration and integrating with multiple systems

  • November 25, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I have used GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfer automation. The primary use for this product is scheduling automated file transfers, managing SFTP and FTPS connections, and creating workflows for system-to-system file movement, as well as secure data exchange between internal and external systems.

What is most valuable?

The most impressive feature of GoAnywhere MFT is the strong security options. It supports encryption, secure protocols, auditing, and key management. Additionally, the centralized administration is excellent, with everything managed from one dashboard. The product is also stable for large file transfers. These are the best features I have experienced over six months.

GoAnywhere MFT agent is useful for automating tasks on remote servers without exposing them publicly. This is the main agent use I am utilizing in GoAnywhere MFT.

Secure Forms features in GoAnywhere MFT allow safe data collection directly from users with automatic routing and encryption. This is the Secure Forms feature I am currently using in my project.

GoFast noticeably improves transfer speed for large files in GoAnywhere MFT by accelerating file transfers in distributed environments.

GoAnywhere MFT supports connectors for multiple systems, including SAP, database, cloud storage, and REST APIs. I am specifically using the SAP integration through SAP connectors and APIs.

What needs improvement?

One of the main important improvements I need for GoAnywhere MFT is a better real-time monitoring dashboard and an improved user interface. I think a more modern and user-friendly interface would be beneficial, as multiple competing products have modern and user-friendly interfaces. Additionally, better debugging tools and clearer error logs would be helpful.

When I started using GoAnywhere MFT, I experienced complexities for projects that required experience to create them. The error logs can be hard to understand at first sight. However, with continued use of this product, I became more familiar and comfortable with it.

I believe GoAnywhere MFT could be more stable and enterprise-friendly overall. It is a strong and reliable solution for secure file transfers and workflow automation, offering excellent security features and dependable performance. The main areas of improvement are the user interface and debugging simplicity.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for more than six months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

GoAnywhere MFT supports active-active clustering, meaning more than one MFT instance can run in parallel. For load balancing, it can be more scalable for companies distributed across their cluster nodes, improving throughput. If one node fails, the system remains scalable. GoAnywhere MFT can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud such as AWS or Azure, or in any hybrid model. This flexibility makes it suitable for both large-scale and small-scale companies depending on the requirements of the company.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price range for GoAnywhere MFT is around four to five thousand dollars annually. Since it is a large-scale product, the price can be adjustable within this range.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have used IBM Sterling as an alternative to GoAnywhere MFT. GoAnywhere MFT is easier and more stable than IBM Sterling, and it is also more enterprise-friendly. It is less expensive than Cleo but has fewer advanced APIs. Overall, it offers better automation than many basic SFTP servers and provides a good balance of security, automation, and integration at an enterprise level.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Secure File Sharing Made Effortless

  • November 21, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I find GoAnywhere MFT invaluable for securely sharing files via email, which is a critical function in my workflow. The ability to encrypt files and send them in a user-friendly manner eliminates the cumbersome necessity of using encrypted USB drives for file sharing. Among its compelling features, I particularly appreciate the non-repudiation feature that enhances the security of files shared with a registered email. This capability provides me with peace of mind, ensuring that the files are securely tracked and verified. Additionally, the integration with Outlook enhances its utility, allowing me to streamline communication and file sharing seamlessly within my existing email infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the account lockout feature without any prior warning frustrating. When an account gets locked due to incorrect password attempts on the admin console, it doesn't provide a warning indicating the number of attempts remaining before a lockout occurs. Additionally, even after the account is locked, the system does not inform me that the account has been locked out. This lack of communication can lead to confusion and delays in accessing the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find GoAnywhere MFT provides a secure, user-friendly way to encrypt and email files, eliminating the need for encrypted USB drives. The non-repudiation feature enhances secure sharing, streamlining our file sharing process.

Automated student data transfers have improved efficiency but pricing and user limitations require attention

  • November 21, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am an IT department head in my college, and I use GoAnywhere MFT to send student marksheets and records to Anna University. When students are placed at top companies, those companies request a verification process, and we send our student data via GoAnywhere MFT during this time. GoAnywhere MFT is used to automate student records to the universities. Whenever a new file or new student data is inserted, it automatically checks and sends it to the university and reports back to me. If I want to send student data to any top companies, I do this manually, and this represents most of the use cases in our college.

I use GoAnywhere MFT to send files most of the time, and I consider those connectors. Whenever we want to connect our student data with cloud services without writing code, we integrate it at that time. This is actually a good feature and a wonderful feature. We are currently maintaining our data on a database only, but if I want to move into the cloud, we will use these connectors very easily. This is the greatest benefit.

Student data is very crucial to both the college and students, so if the file format is right, the encrypted PDF is connected to SFTP and uploads safely. It also generates a receipt and emails it back to me, so in this way the data is encrypted and sent, making it very secure.

I use that automation, and in our college, we have the My Camu app. If any student currently enters or edits his data and uploads it to that app, it will be saved into my folder, and I will check it through GoAnywhere MFT. If any new file or folder arrives, it encrypts it and sends it to the universities and reviews me about the status of the file, whether it is sent or received, or what the university said about it. This is the automation that I use here.

What is most valuable?

The automation is my favorite feature. If I declare it once, I do not want to do it or repeat it manually. If I want to fix it, it will automatically check if there are any new files currently entering. If any new file is entered, it automatically sends, encrypts, and sends it to the destinations and automatically notifies me back. This is the greatest feature I like. Whenever a student has uploaded his or her data on our website, it is automatically sent to the universities, and no manual work is needed anymore, so I appreciate this as the best feature in GoAnywhere MFT.

What needs improvement?

I struggled initially while setting the automation process, and at that time I needed customer support. There is live chat available, and phone support is also available. We can also email them, so through live chat I asked my questions and they cleared them, providing good technical support.

The pricing is somewhat high, and if they reduce their pricing, then more colleges can use it. This is the major concern, as this is one significant problem. They provide the first five users free, but beyond that, they do not offer free access for certain modules. If they increase that, then users will use it more, and they will begin to wish to use it permanently.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Sometimes it loads with high demand, and at that time I wondered why it was experiencing this. When thinking about the stability, I believe it is good, and I can give it seven out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The pricing is somewhat high, and if they reduce their pricing, then more colleges can use it. This is the major concern, as this is one significant problem. They provide the first five users free, but beyond that, they do not offer free access for certain modules. If they increase that, then users will use it more, and they will begin to wish to use it permanently.

How are customer service and support?

I struggled initially while setting the automation process, and at that time I needed customer support. There is live chat available, and phone support is also available. We can also email them, so through live chat I asked my questions and they cleared them, providing good technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Installation is the easiest thing. We can do it via the guidelines provided, and there are good guidelines. By following them, we can easily install it, and there are no more difficulties, but we have to carefully set up the environment for it.

What was our ROI?

Usually, for each student uploaded, we charge 150 rupees for a university transformation. If we are sending any document for their working profession or to companies, then we charge up to 500 to 1,000 rupees per transaction.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is somewhat high, and if they reduce their pricing, then more colleges can use it. This is the major concern, as this is one significant problem. They provide the first five users free, but beyond that, they do not offer free access for certain modules. If they increase that, then users will use it more, and they will begin to wish to use it permanently.

What other advice do I have?

We are the client using GoAnywhere MFT at our college. Currently, I support GoAnywhere MFT, and I can refer it to many people to use it. As it is useful for our college, it may also be useful for many colleges, startups, and services. I give this product an overall rating of seven out of ten.

Automated features have streamlined secure file transfers and improved data submission efficiency

  • November 17, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My major use is always file transferring. We're a big IT team, so different IT people use different parts, but my major case is always file transferring. Using the automated features helps me save time.

What is most valuable?

Using the automated features helps me save time. I have tried using the connectors that go with GoAnywhere MFT for Salesforce, SharePoint Online, Dynamics 365, and others. In most cases, I use Google Cloud storage, which is the main case. Secure Forms enable end-users to fill out and submit information through a secure platform that keeps our data protected.

What needs improvement?

I have no major dislikes generally. I just had some challenges when I was starting to use it. Sometimes I could lose files and maybe lose trace of where they had been hidden, but with time, I got used to the system, and it becomes so much easier to use.

Initially, the setup was kind of hard for me. I had to take a long time to adapt to the system.

At my end, I'm okay with everything at the moment. There are no major issues. My major challenges were getting used to it, and once that happened, I have no major challenges now. Every feature is okay currently for me.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started in November and think to get used to the system took me about two and a half months, by January.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a good solution. It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I look at scalability, and I say both are good. Stability and scalability are both good.

How are customer service and support?

I had to contact technical support once at the start when I was getting used to it. The support is good. I got feedback on time, and I was able to resolve whatever I wanted. Though I forgot what I was inquiring about, the response was good, and I resolved my issue.

If I were to put the support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The setup was initially kind of hard for me. It took a long time to adapt to the system.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have not used any alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT. At my new job, I had nothing to deal with this previously, so I just got this as a new thing at my new workplace.

What other advice do I have?

I think about the agents, and they are not bad. I mention that I am using Secure Forms whereby I get the end-users to fill out and submit information through the online secure platform that helps us to keep our data secure with no traces and no leaks. Being online-based, it helps us save a lot of time.

I'm somewhat familiar with pricing. I just have a small clue about it since I'm mostly in the IT department, but what I know is the pricing is fair. Though it is always charged with add-ons, the more features you need, the more add-ons you get. It is fairly priced and not so expensive.

I would give this product a rating of eight out of ten.
