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The software UI seems somewhat outdated and unintuitive, especially for complex workflows.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.

Go Anywhere with GoAnywhere
What do you like best about the product?
It is modular in that you can easily reuse project snippets from other projects; basis is in XML; simple to install and upgrade; you can schedule projects to run via the AS400 job scheduler or the internal job scheduler; works with many other interfaces; has a robust knowledgebase and community and experts on the support team; we have some projects that run100s of times per hour
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the support team would provide more and better support when working on a new project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnyWhere helps us with migrating from FTP which is a security risk to SFTP and has helped us move files from system to system seemlessly for EDI

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
centralize all files exchanges of the organisation with the external world
Flexible, Affordable Managed File Transfer

What do you dislike about the product?
Cloud service connectors are additional purchases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating file transfers between us and our partners, and between internal processes. Running processes on schedules or when files are detected in folders. Transferring between SMB shares, SFTP servers, and REST endpoints. Providing a secure portal for individuals and external processes to drop off or pick up files using HTTPS or SFTP.
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?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Powerful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Great for a simple file transfer and can also easily be programmed to do complicated processing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Worst for me is the time out of the software. I tend to get logged out if I get sidetracked by something else and have to log back in and release the lock on my projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to take many different files either emailed to us or we go gt via FTP and load the data in SQL via stored procedures we create.
Excellent all-around platform for data sharing
What do you like best about the product?
I think that the customizations available to you within each data sharing project provide you with everything you need to share out your enterprise data with trusted partners safely and securely.
What do you dislike about the product?
Infrequently, there will be changes in our currently configured data sharing sources that will fail with no discernible reason. Those require troubleshooting between us and our partners to resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to share out custom data extracts easily with multiple vendors via encrypted folders and secure transport protocols.
