Very Flexible Project Reuse with Scheduler Overrides
Reviewed on Jul 31, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Very flexible, easy to reuse projects with scheduler overrides,
What do you dislike about the product?
no prebuilt verification of file properties in file movements, you need to code your own verifications of file size or related values.
occasional issues when running processes aren't able to send status updates to the database leaving scheduled jobs and monitors in a running status after completion, requiring our team to develop monitoring and resets via SQL (which GA handles fairly well)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company was running dos batch jobs with a WS-FTP command line processor. GA helps with monitoring processes, speeding our development cycles, and has built-in functions that replace several home built VB and C++ programs that inspect and revise data files. I't API abilities allowed us to intigrate our paging/ticketing system to set up error notifications.

Powerful, Flexible Automation Tools That Enable Creative File Transfers
Reviewed on Jul 30, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The broad set of tools that help us enable Automation. Flexibility within the application that helps us be creative at times in making sure files are transferred.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tools and automations we love, are also for a new user, not obvious. The obvious methods work, but poorly. Not sure if there needs to be better documentation, or work done in the UI to make it flow more like what the steps would be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves the obvious and easy parts, simple SFTP transfers. The complex issues are handled where things needs to move in specific directions, with adjustments to the data and moved again. All if seeming normal stuff, but for sure required.

Robust File Transfers Made Easy, Needs Better Support
Reviewed on Jul 29, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use of GoAnywhere MFT and how robust the language is. The file transfer engine works really well, which is important for our operations. The product has a lot of uptime with no downtime, which is crucial for us as we rely heavily on it for managing enterprise-wide file transfers. Also, the setup process was fairly simple despite the networking aspect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Oh, I think that the support and support site could use a little help. It was a little more robust, and it seems like it has gotten maybe more difficult to find information when I do need help with something. Most of the limitations that I run across are just developmental type issues because it does attach to so many different platforms like Azure and SharePoint that I understand that some stuff has to be built out before it works flawessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT helps us manage enterprise-wide file transfers and push and pull files from our EMR with great uptime. I love the ease of use and robust language.
