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.
Easy to use, room for improvement on UI
What do you like best about the product?
The admin portal is easy to handle MFT needs
What do you dislike about the product?
i am not able to set monitors on a specific day of the month
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy setup and ease on maintenance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the trial version. Hand on experience is better than any recommendation from other users.
The enterprise solution makes life easier but it may over kill for some users which does not need all the features which build in with GoAnywhere MFT.
The performance, options, flexibility and budgets are some major consideration points.
Every user will like to have a powerful tool within their shop. My recommendation is to keep focus on your own requirements, such as daily file transfer volume, your budget, how much time you can save with the tool on board, in house admin capability.
Also think ahead for next step future road map. Is cloud ready/support one of your requirement. Extensive security transfer?

Great alternative to large ETL systems
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to write jobs to pull or upload data. You can write ETL jobs in under 30 minutes most of the time. The source code is XML and can be quickly edited. It also has tremendous speed when accessing data in SQL server and DB2. I can access data from SQL Server faster than SSIS can on the same server.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have a drag and drop interface. Compared to Datastage and SSIS it can be a bit difficult to get a good overview of what the job is doing. The other problem has been the quality of technical support. It is very easy to stump the technicians with relatively simple questions. That never happened before Linoma was purchased by Help Systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for ETL and for validity checking of data. It has helped us implement changes rapidly at low cost. We also get orders from our customers and send ASN's using GoAnywhere. Another neat thing to do is to extract data into Excel and email it to users instead of building a complicated BI report.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product isn't necessarily as robust as Datastage or SSIS but it has some real good points. Don't dismiss it out of hand. It has a large number of reporting tools that let you know how a job has executed and you can see trends when a job has run longer than normal. It also has a lot of tools to make it usable in Sarbox companies.
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.
Pleased
What do you like best about the product?
Its pretty simple and straightforward to use and setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really to dislike about the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us the advantage to have automated processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great product to use. It makes it easy to monitor whatever purposeful job you would like automated and provides great support for any issue at hand.
GoAnyWhere MFT Review
What do you like best about the product?
Securely send files in/out of the organizations without worries of them being compromised. Support is always there if we have an issue and more than willing to assist to get us back up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far we have had no issues, thus cannot put anything down about any dislikes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securely sending files that are encrypted is the major feature that we use to send sensitive information. The benefits received are the fact we have no worries the file can be decrypted unless the receiving end has the key to unlock it.
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.
GoAnywhere MFT makes file transfers easy
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use interface, easy to setup new connections, and rather problem free experience. We were even able to interface it with our old AS400 systems we've been using for years.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really a lot to not like, maybe that it wasn't free? We initially tried rolling our own free in house solution but it was just way too painful thus we bought MFT.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT handles dozens of vendor file transfers that happen in our network practically 24/7 and it has never let us down. I'd guesstimate the uptime of this product has been 99.99% over the past many years of use.
