What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ease of use of GoAnywhere MFT. I found the installation process to be straightforward and simple. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage file transfers efficiently. The comprehensive documentation and support resources available also contribute to a smooth user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, I am not fond of the complex and outdated licensing system. The product could benefit from a simpler pricing model. The current licensing structure can be confusing and may deter potential users from fully leveraging the capabilities of GoAnywhere MFT. Additionally, the cost associated with the licenses can be quite high, which might not be justifiable for smaller organizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT is solving several key problems for us. Firstly, it has significantly simplified the management of file transfers. The platform's user-friendly interface and automation capabilities make it easy to schedule, monitor, and manage file transfers efficiently. This has saved us a considerable amount of time and reduced the risk of errors associated with manual file transfers.
Additionally, GoAnywhere MFT offers modern security features that ensure our data is protected during transit and at rest. The robust encryption and secure protocols provide peace of mind, knowing that our sensitive information is safe from unauthorized access and potential breaches.

Me and MFT
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of implmentation and learning the product. Creating projects and resources is semi-intuitive, as long as you have a basic understanding of workflows and sudo code. Each page you navigate to has a helpful "?" you can click on to get full details on all options available for use.
What do you dislike about the product?
We really like the product, but support has declined over the past few years. I believe this is primarily due to the product’s growing popularity and an insufficient support team to handle all technical requests. Additionally, since we are on the IBM i system, I feel that much of the IBM i expertise has been lost over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere is solving all of our workflow automation in a common language (XML) that helps us interconnect multiple systems of different types.
not good company
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT functions as an excellent managed file transfer solution which brings substantial improvements to our data transfer operations. GoAnywhere MFT provides an intuitive interface that enables all users including non-technical staff to move through its system. Through automation we complete work tasks and eliminate human mistakes as well as minimize time consumption. The solution provides complete data protection through data encryption and access control features which ensures the security of sensitive information when transfers occur.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team has faced minor problems during GoAnywhere MFT usage because of delays in file synchronization with big files. The software needs an improved mechanism to manage failed transfers since it currently demands user assistance to fix such issues. The problems we have encountered with GoAnywhere MFT do not disrupt our main operational processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization previously faced difficulties both in moving big files and protecting their security. GoAnywhere MFT established an efficient solution to handle secure file transfer operations. The software eliminates our need to spend time searching for email approvals because it processes them automatically. Our team now dedicates more time to other tasks because we eliminated manual errors through the software platform.
Leading contender in the MFT market
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to build workflows which can provide great functionality
What do you dislike about the product?
As someone who trains other people on the software, my pet hate is the naming of end users as 'webusers', this confuses so many people who associate 'web' with https only.
Also, I prefer the menus spread horizontally rather than the newer vertical arrangement - this takes up too much space.

Secure, Scalable, and User-Friendly Managed File Transfer Solution
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT centralises the management of all file transfers, giving users visibility into transfer statuses, audit trails, and error handling, which simplifies administration and troubleshooting.
The platform allows for extensive workflow automation, enabling users to create complex, conditional workflows without needing heavy scripting or programming. This can save significant time, particularly for recurring data transfers and integrations.
It integrates well with cloud storage services, databases, applications, and other systems, allowing organisations to connect their data flow across different environments, whether on-premises, cloud, or hybrid setups.
The web-based interface is intuitive, with a drag-and-drop environment that simplifies setup and monitoring for users of varying technical backgrounds.

What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup and configuration can be complex, particularly for companies without extensive experience in MFT solutions or server configuration. The process can be time-consuming, especially in environments with detailed security requirements.
The software UI seems somewhat outdated and unintuitive, especially for complex workflows. This can make navigating and configuring workflows less time efficient.
Due to its complexity, a regular IT person can often find themselves dependent on technical support, especially when configuring complex workflows or resolving specific issues.
Although GoAnywhere has its extensive capabilities, utilising advanced features effectively requires training or experience, as there’s a significant learning curve for scripting and workflow customization.

Pros and few cons, like anything else
What do you like best about the product?
Works great, robust functionalities for what it's designed to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
1st: Can be cumbersome to use if the level of script technicalites, esp. with custom expressions, is not enough with the administrator.
2nd point: Also, not GUI (graphical user interface) enough when comes to troubleshooting during emergencys. Ask oneself, why does it need a prebuilt or take time to build a module script step before you can visualize the folder structure on the connected side, or to quickly make a simple COPY or MOVE, etc.??
3rd point: I hear at one time there was a feature where multiple tabs can hold its own unique session if user were wanting to say, open one project on one chrome tab, and another project on another chrome tab, and compare script steps or edit/modify by learning to visualize one with another. But some time back, this feature was removed, because if you try to do this, some time passes and the one of the tab will refresh to make it the same as the other, hence only 1 tab, or project is only allowed. Currently, the HELP function enables a dedicated open tab and holds that. Why can't this apply when having to visualize one project mft script versus another?

Scheduling automation, monitoring, sending large sensitive information files, and differing formats so the added key management system and all it's security features are essential benefits.
