We are using it for all our file-transferring needs. We mostly use it for confidential files and larger files. We want to securely send the files that are on the confidential side. We feel it is very secure for sending a file over.

Provides a centralized and secure way for our file transfer needs
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
By implementing this solution, we wanted to have a centralized place for all our file-transferring needs because previously, there were too many ways. It was done by email. It was done through FTP. Everyone was trying to find their own solution. This way, we could centralize it and make sure that everyone is using the same tool.
We use it with Office 365. We have a single sign-on, and we have implemented it with every deployment of a laptop.
It works seamlessly. There are no issues. It has been excellent. It is so easy. It is very user-friendly. There are never any issues. There is a lot of flexibility with it, and we are staying compliant, so it is very important.
It streamlines everything and keeps things centralized. There is also automated scheduling.
For us, cybersecurity is very important, and GoAnywhere MFT keeps us very secure. That is a very good benefit. We have a centralized place for file transfers. People do not think of other options, such as using Dropbox or sending files by email or FTP.
GoAnywhere has saved us time in connecting securely with the third parties we need to collaborate securely with. It is hard to say how much time it has saved, but we do not need to discuss how we are going to send a file securely. We used to waste a lot of time previously.
What is most valuable?
It streamlines the files. Anyone can go pick up the file that we give access to. It is great.
What needs improvement?
For what we are using it for, it is doing the job, so I would not be able to say how to improve it. For us, it is perfect. It is a good solution that we are using, and we are going to continue to do so. However, it should be advertised more as a solution. I did not see it out there beforehand.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using GoAnywhere MFT for the past six months. They gave us a free trial, and we liked it, so we made the purchase.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable. We have not had any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable.
We have 25 users using this solution. It is one company. We are just 25 people. It is a small company.
How are customer service and support?
We did not require any support. It is very simple. We are only using the file transfer, so it is very simple.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were not using anything before. That is why it is such a great solution for us.
How was the initial setup?
We have the cloud solution, The cloud provider is AWS.
I was involved in its deployment, and there were no problems. In terms of the implementation strategy, we just had a team meeting about it. I informed everyone and then implemented the credentials.
It does not require any maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
I did not need any external help.
What was our ROI?
The best benefit is time and security.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I find it to be very fair. It is very good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate other options. I trust Fortra, and I use them for other solutions. That is why I went to them with a scenario, and they got back to us about using this system.
What other advice do I have?
I would highly recommend this solution. I am a big believer that you get what you pay for.
We do not use GoAnywhere's Secure Forms. We are using this solution for simple file transfers. We are not getting too complex with it. We also do not make use of the GoAnywhere agents or the GoFast feature.
I would definitely rate Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Most flexible & inexpensive MFT solutions in market
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT has lots of features that supports our business production needs. The product is very easy to use and implement on to our daily routine platform. Also their sales and customer support is best in class.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be helpful if there's more inbound trigger conditions for AS2 connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All automative EDI connectivity with our trading partners. Audit log reporting helps tracking successful and failed jobs.
The solution is versatile, allowing transfers through HTTPS and different protocols
What is our primary use case?
The most common use case is secure file transfer. Fortra's web client provides that. SecureMail also helps them send emails with large file attachments.
How has it helped my organization?
We realized the benefits of GoAnywhere immediately. So many threats affect the most commonly used types of file transfers. One common way to transfer files is to put them on a flash drive, which is risky. Webmail also has limitations. You can only send around 25 MB through Outlook and Gmail. GoAnywhere is helpful and secure because it allows different protocols and encryption supported by the strongest, most secure encryption algorithms.
GoAnywhere saves time when connecting to third parties because it's easily configured. It saves more time than other kinds of file transfer applications. It's user friendly and easy to configure.
What is most valuable?
I like the versatility GoAnywhere provides, allowing transfers through HTTPS and different protocols. It can also transfer through a server and a client.
GoAnywhere's connectors are helpful for connecting and integrating various products, such as Google Cloud, AWS Cloud, Azure, and SharePoint. This makes it much easier for our clients to achieve their targets. The connectors are critical because production processes need them to connect between two applications. It helps to maintain a smooth connection between two products.
We use GoAnywhere's agents instead of the more commonly used Samba or network share. The agents are good for a company with branches globally or nationwide. It allows the branches to connect to the head offices.
The secure forms are helpful. One of my clients is in the HR department, so using secure forms to collect details from job applicants is easy. They can be compiled in a specific folder or directory so that HR can easily navigate and manage all the details of prospective employees applying to a certain company.
For some clients, we recommend GoFast for companies that need transparency between the first and second clients. If they both use GoAnywhere, we suggest GoFast since it will speed up the file transfers between them.
What needs improvement?
I tried to copy a file from an S3 bucket to another storage class. I don't know if it is a limitation from AWS, not the MFT. If I copy a file from the AWS S3 bucket to that storage class, it can't be transferred. It says that I can't remember the exact error, but it cannot be processed. I want MFT to be more compatible with cloud-based applications or services like AWS.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used GoAnywhere for almost two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
GoAnywhere MFT doesn't have any stability problems. Any crashes are related to the client's services or problems with their database. We sometimes encounter lags when there is so much data that the donor cannot trust.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
GoAnywhere is easy to scale up. It isn't time-consuming to scale GoAnywhere MFT up.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Fortra's support nine out of 10. I've reported bugs to Fortra support. The issues take time and can't be fixed with a press of a button. It would be helpful if Fortra's support would regularly update us since our partners and clients in the Philippines have problems that require expertise on the backend. There are some cases they cannot provide answers.
How was the initial setup?
Our clients have different platforms. We deploy in cloud, hybrid, or sometimes on-premise because other clients do not trust a hybrid or cloud environment. We haven't encountered difficulties with GoAnywhere itself. We've had much more problems on the client's side.
We typically assign at least two resources for the deployment so we have a backup. Implementing GoAnywhere itself takes half a day, but setting up the client's environment requires an entire day. The only maintenance after deployment is upgrading the solution and migrating it from one environment to another.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Even if you think the price is high, I would recommend GoAnywhere because it is secure and easy to use and configure. It supports different kinds of protocols. It resolves the limitations of common types of file transfers.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Fortra GoAnywhere MFT 10 out of 10.

all features it has to automate the workflows and be able to adjust it to several use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the SaaS version should have all features as the one we currently have with our licenses.

sharing files with clients in a secure protocol, it gives us and users confident to share those files.
Powerful and flexible

Lastly customer support is available when you truly get stuck and they reply shortly after you post.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is little to dislike but if I was to pick one it would be with the lack of examples I was looking for in the community forums for the exact task I was trying to undertake.
GoAnywhere do have a very responsive customer support so you can always use that.
GoAnywhere do have a very responsive customer support so you can always use that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing and automating all our file transfers from a single source and done securely.
Very powerful software
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it can be cloud based, has cloud connectors to share files, you can also have agents installed on different machines to interact with eachother for easy file transfers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Cloud connector for Google would do is be able to transfer multiple files at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The use of Cloud connector is great because we use the Gsuite products. Also the ability to fine tune projects with a variety of tasks libraries. It saves time for managing manually the processes.
GoAnywhere MFT Great tool and easy to make automations
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and upgrade application as a whole. Able to cluster so production will have a failsafe in case a server that hosts the application goes down. It is easy to set up workflows, but you need to be organized and have a good idea of the steps necessary to get from point A to point B. Customer Support is great once you open a ticket you can wait for an email response or if urgent able to call the support line and refer to the ticket.
Our company uses it daily and when a failure happens we have alerts so we can respond to them as needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
workflows can be complex since you design them from scratch. They do offer templates but wish they offered more training as most was learn on the fly or trail by error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
automation of pushing and pulling files via SFTP/FTP or network shares.
Very Satisfied with Go Anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
Go Anyhwere is a very robust MFT application that is easy so learn, implement and use. The User Guide is well thought out and inclusive in most areas. The "hover over " feature is awesome to help identify what most field options/requirements are.
We have over 150 MFTs occurring nearly 24x7.
We have over 150 MFTs occurring nearly 24x7.
What do you dislike about the product?
The LDAP Login Method should allow you to narrow the Base DN so the entire directory structure does not need to be queried.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we implemented Go Anywhere all of our file transfers were done writing batch jobs which was difficult to read and document. This made it incredibly difficult to support, troubleshoot and share/transfer knowledge. Go Anywhere's Administrative console is very well organized and easy to use. It almost documents itself due to its layout and functionality.
Secure and easy way to automate, administer and manage file transfers across the organization
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use,Ease of Implementation, Customer Support, Number of Features
What do you dislike about the product?
Web Client had limitations on the number of files that can be downloaded in one go, Getting external user set up using Azure external Identity packages can sometimes be troublesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating file transfers between several source and targets using multiple protocols within the IT and OT landscape, the Web client allows an easy way to exchange business data between internal and external users.
