Easy, Efficient and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
The product is very easy to use and configure for our systems, where I can send the end users for my organization to a single point and they simply upload and files automatically are ingested into our product.
What I have further found is the powerful workflow (project) capabilities of GoAnywhere MFT where we can add logic to the files, users, REST Endpoints, and this is making this product far more powerful than I originally thought it could be.
Our use of this product is currently for moving files from our MFT server to various servers using some logic and applying those files to the correct locations.
Other usages that we have are to pull files from various locations, and also now we are able to manipulate users and perform other logical events using the Projects functionality.
What we have been able to implement user manipulation using separate coding through Python to leverage the APIs which are provided by GoAnywhere. We have also been using the Apis for uploading files.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think one thing which end users are sometimes complaining about is the speed of uploads from the web UI, from the FTP client uploads are much quicker but our end users aren't always savvy to use the FTP clients.
The end users have suggested that a more user friendly UI could be of benefit because they would expect the upload location to be something like under a /ftp folder or a /root folder, but the UI only shows their main folder, which then we have to manually add a false folder called FTP or root.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The product will ingest files into a system from a given location. End users are business users and not always technical so what this product has allowed us to do is provide the end users with a single point for file uploads and the files are then quickly and easily ingested into our product.
Users who previously would have had difficulties or required assistance to ingest files into the system, have now been able to upload and ingest files much faster, and it has also allowed us to expand the end user base so that more people are able to use the system.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask about all of the possibilities and additional functionality of the product. You may find that the product might be able to do more than you expected and be able to solve other needs for you which you weren't aware of.
Providing a more robust Web Services User Guide with full examples using Java, Python or Node. This would allow end users to implement those with a bit more ease.

One of the top MFT tools
What do you like best about the product?
Fast efficient and mmutli platform MFT solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning curve is steeper than some of its competitors but getting better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helping to move nearly 3m SFPT transfers per month between customers. Looking to start taking over MQ connections soon too...
Easy to use, flexible, and reliable.
What do you like best about the product?
GA MFT is like a visual programming language. Anyone can jump in and start designing transfers. As you learn the ins and outs of GA MFT the user can create increasingly integrated and complicated projects for automating workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes auditing a single transfer for successful file movement during a specific time can be a chore. Long load times and often it requires the user to only looks at specific file names or paths that may be used in other projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal file movement automation managed by GA MFT has given back time to end users. Rather than logging into a vendor web portal to upload or download files user needs are met without any intervention. GA has also allowed us to create pseudo api's, moving information from one application to another, enhancing our ability to solve complex data integration problems.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

GoAnywhere MFT Customer Review
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that you can customize the product to your needs, as opposed to an out of the box solution with little to no flexibility. The product is extremely flexible and allows you to create workflows that are specific to your business use case. There is also the security aspect of the application. The product has built in auditing tools to complement our vulnerability management and PEN testing tools to ensure compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest the only thing I would improve is the ability to assign more granular security permissions for end user folders and files. We are limited in the ability to enable users to create / delete files and folders in our client directories. For instance our users can create folders for clients to organize documents for uploads, but we cannot also enable them to delete folders for the client without giving them excess permissions in the directory structure above the client folder structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere was chosen to replace a competitor’s product that was not meeting our needs.
The product is being used to enable our audit clients (mainly healthcare entities) to transfer files to our staff for financial audits. The product is configured to be HIPAA compliant from a data at rest standpoint as well as data in motion.
The tool enables our clients to use a variety of clients for file uploads. We were able to create a customized notification system in the application to enable users who receive files to be notified that files are awaiting pickup.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that any customer considering the product go through a POC process with the team at HelpSystems in order to understand all the aspects of the product that can be leveraged for use. We did a POC of the product, and were introduced to a world of functionality that our prior vendor could not provide.

Great Product with great service
What do you like best about the product?
The GoAnywhere MFT product can be used to do nearly any task you need to do with files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support for goanywhere when any other product is involved (ie, the Linux OS, or front end load balancers) which are recommended for use by goanywhere is not as strong as I would like it to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use goanywhere for moving files all around our company and into S3.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This application can be used for nearly anything. It may take some extra work and some complicated projects to get there, but if you can think of a process, it can be done
GoAnywhere MFT
What do you like best about the product?
We use GoAnywhere MFT for numerous file transfer automations. With the multitude of features it offers, we have been able to streamline several processes that used to take hours and now have better logging and fewer errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say that there is anything I dislike about GoAnywhere. The few times that I have had an issue, their support team has done a wonderful job in answering any questions or concerns I may have had.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere is a wonderful file transfer automation service that provides a wealth of features and is easy to use. It has made us massively more efficient and has opened many new doors for what processes we are able to fully automate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have processes that you're looking to automate, this is an excellent tool for doing so. It has saved us a ton of time and effort which has allowed us to better allocate the hours that employees had previously been using to support these processes elsewhere.
