Robust Security and Flexibility with GoAnywhere MFT

  • April 15, 2026
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the cloud connectors in GoAnywhere MFT as they provide prebuilt connectors for Salesforce, SharePoint, and AWS, allowing us to treat cloud storage just like a local folder in our workflow. I also like the secure mail feature for Outlook. The plugins let users send secure emails directly from Outlook, which is excellent as it automatically replaces large attachments with a secure link, keeping our mail server clear of heavy file storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things that I think need to improve is with the support portal navigation. Their support staff is great, but their online help portal and documentation can be a bit challenging. Finding the specific version release note or particular API guides often takes more clicks than it should. The automated PDF reports for audit logs look very technical and dry. I would like to see more modern, visual reporting templates that I could present directly to the executive or board members. Setting up the high availability cluster is where the complexity lies. Configuration with a gateway in the DMZ and load balancer requires a deep understanding of our network architecture. It's not a plug-and-play experience. It's difficult but very valuable after setting up everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GoAnywhere MFT to solve connectivity problems, creating a secure and permanent encrypted pipe to remote sites. It helps manage remote agents securely and ensures sensitive file handling without FTP, preventing data from ending up on unmanaged personal sites.

  • April 14, 2026
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I really like about Go Anywhere MFT is how secure it is.We handle a lot of sensitive data,so having built-in encryption and support for secure protocols like SFTP gives me confidence that our file transfers are protected.Another big plus for me is the automation capability.The workflow designer makes it easy to schedule and automate repetitive tasks like sending reports or syncing data between systems.It has honestly saved us a lot of time and errors.I also appreciate how flexible it is when it comes to integrations.We have been able to connect it with our existing systems including databases and cloud platforms without too much friction.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don't particularly like is the initial set up process.It can be quite technical especially if you are trying to configure more advanced workflows or security settings.It is not beginner friendly.
The user interface is another area that can be improved.While it gets the job done,it feels a bit outdated compared to more modern platforms.A more intuitive and visually appealing UI would make a big difference.
Pricing is also something to consider.From my perspective,it can be a bit on the higher side especially for smaller organizations that might not need all the advanced features..
Lastly, while support is generally helpful, response times can sometimes be slower than expected which can be frustrating when dealing with urgent issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
file sharing -It is very useful for sharing files with clients, partners or teams.
File transfer -It ensures sensitive data is protected end to end.This ensures compliance with our internal security policies and standards.
One time,I scheduled a job that pushes daily sales data into Salesforce every night -zero manual work.

Secure and Automated File Transfers with GoAnywhere MFT

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easy it is to automate workflows with GoAnywhere MFT. It saves time and reduces the need for custom scripts while still being secure. I appreciate its use of encryption and secure protocols for transferring files, so there's no headache of data leakage. Also, the initial setup was good and easy, and it's well integrated with our systems, allowing us to move data between different environments without much hassle. For our mid-sized organization, it works very well without impacting performance and makes our engineers' lives easier on a daily basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel the troubleshooting area is very hard to debug if a workflow fails, so most of our time goes to figuring out what logs are saying, and it requires a lot of engineer hours, so that should be improved. Also, the interface of the application is a bit outdated and can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT automates secure file transfers, improving reliability and organization. It solved our manual transfer issues, providing visibility and ease of audit. The automation features fill gaps in our business process, and its encryption ensures secure data handling.

Reliable Automation with Secure Protocols

  • April 14, 2026
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy GoAnywhere MFT makes automation, saving a lot of time by removing manual work and reducing the need for custom scripts. The interface is simple to use, which doesn't require deep scripting knowledge, allowing the team to work faster and focus on more critical tasks. I appreciate that it offers strong security features, making it reliable for handling sensitive data. Additionally, it integrates with APIs, cloud storage, internal servers, and monitoring and security tools, helping us track transfers and maintain reliability within our overall workflow. Moving to GoAnywhere MFT helped standardize processes, improve security, and automate workflows more effectively. Once set up, it runs smoothly, which is a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside is that the UI feels a bit outdated to 2026 standards, also it's not always very intuitive. Also, troubleshooting can take some time when workflows fail, as the logs are not always super easy to understand, and hence we need to call a senior. The initial setup was manageable but not exactly straightforward. Basic installation was fine, but configuring workflow, integrations, and security settings took some time to fully get right. There is a bit of a learning curve at the start, especially for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT helps us securely automate file transfers, reducing manual effort, errors, and ensuring data security with encryption. It addresses visibility issues in file transfers and improves workflow consistency.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use GoAnywhere MFT mainly for secure file transfer and automation, and I find it supports secure protocols like SFTP, FTPS, and HTTPS, which keeps sensitive data encrypted and secure. I appreciate its central dashboard as it makes it easy to track jobs, check failures, and fix issues quickly, saving time and keeping everything more organized. I like being able to create workflows for file transfer without writing too much code, which saves a lot of time and reduces manual effort since it can run automatically based on schedules or events. The event-driven and scheduling features are invaluable as I can set jobs to run automatically at specific times or trigger them when a file arrives, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The central dashboard and logging offer full visibility of all jobs, making monitoring and troubleshooting much easier than traditional methods.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few things in GoAnywhere MFT that I feel could be improved. One thing is the initial setup and configuration. It takes some time to properly set up workflows, connection, and partner configuration, especially if you are new to the tool. It is not very difficult, but it does require planning and some learning in the beginning. I also noticed that troubleshooting can still be a bit challenging in some cases. Even though logs are available, sometimes the error messages are not very clear, so it takes extra time to figure out the exact issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfer and automation, ensuring encrypted data exchange with protocols like SFTP and HTTPS. It centralizes monitoring with a dashboard, simplifying file tracking and error troubleshooting, which improves efficiency and reduces manual repetition in daily operations.
