What do you dislike about the product?
A few features come with a learning curve which can make them tricky to use at first. Troubleshooting issues can also be difficult because the documentation is somewhat limited. The learning curve for some of the advanced features, while the basic functions are easy to use, more complex workflows or integrations can take time to understand, especially for new users without prior experience in managed file transfer systems. The documentation could also be more detailed and easier to navigate. Some troubleshooting steps or explanations for advanced configuration are limited, so it can take extra effort to figure out solutions or best practices.

Effortless File Transfer with GoAnywhere MFT
What do you like best about the product?
I like that GoAnywhere MFT allows us to build 'projects,' which are automated scripts to move, copy, or delete files at a granular level. It's great for creating a streamlined automated process, especially since we have many files and reports created daily within our EMR system that need sharing. GoAnywhere MFT works perfectly as a middleware solution for our file transfer needs. I also appreciate that it works with SharePoint, which we've migrated to as our main file management platform. The product is not too difficult to set up from an IT perspective, though help from the IT team is needed for enterprise-level use.

Secure encrypted file sharing has transformed how we transfer large client data and code
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is file transfer. Before using GoAnywhere MFT for file transfer, we could only transfer 2GB of data using one of the free tools, but after we started using GoAnywhere, our files are very secure and encrypted because we work on client data, so we can securely share all the database and all the code with our clients.

GoAnywhere MFT pricing is fine for me. I do not have any complaints regarding the pricing because SFTP is the most valuable asset in the organization.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Regarding alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT, I previously used SFTP directly on the server. I have not used any third-party alternative, and this is the first managed file transfer solution I have used.
What other advice do I have?
I have not currently used connectors for Salesforce, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and other services.
When I first started using GoAnywhere MFT, it took around two days to set up everything because SFTP requires all port openings and proper configuration. From my experience, GoAnywhere MFT does not require any maintenance on my end.
My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.
