Automation has replaced manual file transfers and now secures and accelerates daily workflows

  • April 23, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use GoAnywhere MFT for securely transferring files between systems and automating workflows. Our company generates a daily report file, so instead of manually sending it, we use GoAnywhere to automate picking the file from a folder, encrypt it for security, and transfer it securely to another server or partner systems using protocols such as SFTP. We have scheduled it to run daily, so manual effort is not needed.

What we use and what we appreciate most about GoAnywhere MFT is its automation capability through projects. We can create a workflow that handles the entire file transfer process, picking up the file, encrypting it, and sending it securely without any manual effort. Once it is scheduled, everything runs automatically.

Workflows are integrated with our processes; whenever our boss wants to see reports, they run automatically at 5:30 or 6:00 PM, and all the data is stored in SharePoint using this workflow.

GoAnywhere MFT provides plenty of connectors for file transfer protocols such as SFTP and FTS. Additionally, it provides cloud storage connectors such as Amazon S3, which we use for storage as a database. We have also connected it with other databases such as MySQL and email services for sending or receiving files via email and SMTP. Overall, it excels at connecting with servers, making file transfer flexible.

As I mentioned earlier, we use Amazon S3 for cloud storage, where we store all the data, and we utilize daily workflows and operations from SharePoint. GoAnywhere MFT plays a crucial role in our organization every day for our meetings and cron jobs.

We have multiple automations or processes happening within our organization that run on different platforms with different servers and APIs. For instance, we have one project for daily report transfers, another for handling partner file uploads, and another project for backup. Although they are scheduled at different times, they are all event-based. Multiple automations are handled with different projects for different use cases.

What is most valuable?

The main benefits I have seen from using GoAnywhere MFT are that it removes all manual efforts through automation and reduces manual file transfer because we have scheduled our jobs. Daily reports and files are transferred automatically without human effort. The second benefit is its security, as sensitive files are transferred using secure protocols. Our organization utilizes its tracking and visibility; we can track files using logs, making it easy for us to monitor whether a job succeeds or fails.

Additionally, we appreciate the strong security features, such as support for SFTP and encryption, which makes it reliable for transferring sensitive data. The combination of automation and security is particularly valuable to us.

We definitely use GoAnywhere MFT's secure forms, which allow users or external partners to submit data or uploads through a secure web form. Using HTTPS improves our security since it is encrypted.

In our organization, GoAnywhere MFT's secure forms have improved both our security and efficiency in how we receive files from external users. Earlier, people used emails or shared drives to send files, which had risks such as data exposure or missing files. Using GoAnywhere MFT secure forms, we secure submissions through HTTP-based forms where data is encrypted during transport. This eliminates dependency on email, reduces our risk of attachment leaks or size limits, and provides better tracking since every submission is logged.

We definitely use GoAnywhere MFT's GoFast feature to accelerate data transmission.

Using GoAnywhere MFT's GoFast feature has improved our operations because it breaks files into multiple chunks and transfers them simultaneously instead of sending them in a single stream, allowing for multi-threading. This results in savings on both time and money. It significantly reduces our transfer time compared to normal SFTP, especially when transferring very large files such as backups or bulk data.

I have definitely seen a return on investment with GoAnywhere MFT, as 20 to 30% of costs have been saved by its implementation.

GoAnywhere MFT has definitely saved me time in connecting securely with third parties that we need to collaborate with.

What needs improvement?

The number one thing I would like to see improved in GoAnywhere MFT is the learning curve. It has a bit of a learning curve initially, especially in understanding how to design workflows. Additionally, I think the user interface can feel slightly complex for beginners, so they should add more documentation about the UI and how to onboard or design workflows.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for a total of one year, including my time in college and my previous internship. I have been working in my current organization for the past eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not had any crashes, downtimes, or performance issues with GoAnywhere MFT. It is highly stable for us because it supports high availability setups such as clustering and load balancing by default, providing consistent performance and minimal downtime.
