    Computer Software

One of the Best MFT solution available right now.

  • August 11, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Automating using Goanywhere trigger, We send alerts and notifications email in real-time using sftp file triggers. We run our decryption jobs based on the "upload successful" trigger so that our decryption can only trigger once the file is fully received.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess there is nothing that I dislike. I wish for few minor enhancements around PGP Key ID information in the decryption logs so that we can see the PGP key ID, which was originally used to encrypt the files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deal with a lot of to and fro file-based traffic, which needs to be encrypted at rest and in transit. Goanywhere helps us to manage all that seamlessly. KMS vault for PGP keys is an additional benefit.

UI and capabilities are endless. Usually more than one way to accomplish something.

Nothing that I dislike about GoAnywhere. They are always adding features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More efficient SFTP and HTTPS endpoints, and now weve added the benefit of ICAP/DLP Scanning in conjunction with clearswift.

Hands down the most comprehensive and up to date MFT software out there.

GoAnywhere is the best product for quick process turn around

  • August 11, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The versatility of the product. It's more than just a file transfer program. It automates databases, file manipulation, scripts and more!
What do you dislike about the product?
The real downside for me is the GUI. I wish they had a desktop based admin IDE. Not saying the web based admin doesn't work I just think it's wonky sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File transfers, encryption, database, scripts and many other processes are being automated and it's a great product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy it! It really is an awesome product.

GoAnywhereMFT is very user friendly

What do you like best about the product?
I like the dashboard the best. It is so easy to get where you need to be and laid out and organized well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is nothing that I dislike about the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is nice to have a secure way to share data that may have PHI in it. It takes all the worry out of how to get stuff where it needs to be and you can get a new user added and share data with them within 5 minutes which is very benificial.

Go Anywhere - SFTP of choice

  • August 11, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The SFTP is great but when you add the workflow piece, it makes Go Anywhere a very effective and powerful business tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
To take advantage of all the benefits of Go Anywhere you have to buy add ons etc. It would be nice if it were an all-inclusive cost and the features were included even if the initial cost was higher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We receive PGP encrypted zip files from clients and using a trigger, we are alerted of the arrival of the files. That same trigger then launches a workflow that decrypts the file, relocates the file, unzips the files in their final destination for processing. The original encrypted file is then deleted by the same workflow.

These automation steps have allowed us to make the somewhat long process a much easier and automatic process. The workflow also sends an email to the processing unit to alert them that a file has arrived.

Highly recommended data transfer and workflow engine.

  • August 11, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Natively support dozens of data transfer protocols, and with advanced workflows has become a single point solution for all data movement. The product remains current, with new features and upgrades published regularly. Additionally, plugins available for purchase support advanced cloud computing. The software is managed via an easily navigable GUI, and workflows are built using a drag and drop interface. The product can easily be clustered to provide load balancing and failover support for mission-critical transfers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the number of upgrades and new features being developed, the wait time for a requested update or a new feature can be quite long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have combined all of our file transfers into a single integrated solution with central administration. Using advanced workflows we can deliver files to multiple backend systems with positive delivery confirmation and a central archive. GoAnywhere MFT has reduced support effort from separate legacy methods by more than 70%.

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact you can move, manipulate files on the fly
What do you dislike about the product?
A change in the visual appeal would be nice after a few upgrades. Hard to tell that you have change versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data transfers with partners.

More Than Just Moving Files

  • August 11, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well thought out project components that allow for high-level programmability of tasks. From While loops to if statements, the components typically allow you to manipulate the needed data. If not, there's also the native command that can call a custom-built console app as required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality around rowsets could be improved. Items like Left/Right/Inner/outer joins would be nice, as well as being able to iterate through a rowset and manipulate a specific column in that row.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have implemented MFT to transfer files between multiple environments (hosting, on-prem, cloud); during transfer, translations of inbound files apply to meet the outbound specs. We also use GA MFT as our EDI engine for many of the interfaces we have with our customers and vendors.
