Secure automation has reduced manual file transfers and now streamlines complex workflows
Reviewed on Sep 03, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
I use GoAnywhere MFT for securely transferring files between different systems and environments, moving data files such as CSV or other structured files between our internal systems, the Azure cloud storage, and external partners. I mainly use it to automate file transfers and schedule workflows, which reduces our workload.
What is most valuable?
The main important features I appreciate about GoAnywhere MFT are its security, monitoring, and automation capabilities. Once a workflow is configured, it becomes very easy to automate file transferring.
The overall speed of the support is very good, but it depends upon the size of the data. The service is reliable and performs well, making file transfers generally quick. If the data is regular and consistent, it works smoothly, and monitoring helps me identify any delays or issues. Overall, the speed is good but can depend on file size and network conditions.
What needs improvement?
When I first started using GoAnywhere MFT, I faced some issues configuring it, especially with setting up complex workflows, permissions, and integrations. I encountered some challenges initially, but after that, I became accustomed to the interface and overall functionality. While there have been no significant issues with GoAnywhere MFT, new users may need some time to learn and become comfortable with it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used GoAnywhere MFT for approximately six to twelve months, working as a data engineer.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have never seen errors or bugs on GoAnywhere MFT platform. However, while transferring data, we have faced some issues due to inconsistent data or some pipeline issues, but the platform itself has been stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of GoAnywhere MFT is great as it scales well with the number of file transfer workflows and data volume increases. For very large and highly complex environments, the configuration is really good, making it easy to maintain performance and scalability.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted GoAnywhere MFT customer support a few times for configuration or integration-related issues, especially in the beginning. They provided me with good assistance and guided me to troubleshoot and resolve those technical issues.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment of GoAnywhere MFT is very easy but does require some configuration and planning. With support from customer service, we identified the system and file transfer needs, and according to their guidance, we configured the necessary connections, users, permissions, and security settings. Overall, the initial deployment was very easy with their help.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT, such as SFTP-based solutions or cloud-native file transfer services like Azure storage with SFTP support.
What other advice do I have?
I have explored the Agent-based functionality mainly to automate and manage file transfer activities across our different systems, whether on-premises or in the cloud. This is useful for reducing manual work and ensuring files are transferred consistently.
I have exposure to the Secure Forms feature, which is useful for collecting files or information securely from users or external parties. It allows us to submit credential information in a controlled way instead of relying on emails or less secure file-sharing methods.
I have used GoFast, which provides a more streamlined user experience for managing file transfer activities. It makes common tasks easier to access and helps users work with the platform more efficiently, making it a nice improvement from a usability perspective.
I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

GoAnywhere Makes Secure File Transfers Fast and Easy with Drag-and-Drop Automations
Reviewed on Aug 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
One of the biggest benefits has been the ability to automate file transfer processes that would otherwise require manual effort and ongoing monitoring. The platform's drag-and-drop interface is key in its ease-of-use and has proven to be instrumental in our ability to quickly and easily create workflows. And from a security standpoint, GoAnywhere provides the controls we need to confidently exchange sensitive information.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit tricky sometimes to know exactly what each available action does and how to configure them, however, Fortra's documentation has assisted us with this, as well as their support teams. More examples, however, always come in handy and would definitely be appreciated!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to the platform's ease-of-use, we are able to quickly respond to department workflow requests, which allows us to deliver solutions to our end users in a timely manner.

Secure, Streamlined File Transfers with Enterprise Capabilities
Reviewed on Aug 19, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how GoAnywhere MFT eliminates the need for SFTP clients on individual desktops, which reduces vulnerabilities. The setup of security is well thought out, with the server not needing to be exposed publicly and instead using a gateway with minimal information. Setting up monitors for jobs is intuitive, especially with some training from the Fortra staff. The ease of scheduling file transfers is a great feature, and the initial setup was very easy. Additionally, I valued how GoAnywhere MFT met our requirement for SSO, which other solutions at the time didn't offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a high-level dashboard with the daily jobs listed, with a green/yellow/red status. This would be more of a NOC view. Right now, we are monitoring for alerts coming through our email and Teams site as more reactive. It would be nice to have this view to be more proactive about seeing where we are, easily throughout the day. We have jobs that run at all hours. We're also using some batch scripts in GA to call applications via an agent on other servers. It's not ideal, but we are limited with some of the other software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere MFT eliminated the need for individual SFTP clients, reducing vulnerabilities and providing enterprise-level credentials. It simplifies scheduling and logs transfers, enhancing security by not exposing servers directly. It supports SSO and monitors job intuitively, making our operations smoother and more secure.
