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.

Easy-to-Use GoAnywhere with Comprehensive Guides and 24/7 Global Support
Reviewed on Aug 10, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The easy-to-use interface makes it straightforward to configure, update, and secure. The administration guides are comprehensive and provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for everything you need to do. There is also follow-the-sun support coverage from an international support team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I ran into an issue when I needed to verify which encryption ciphers were being used by TLS, because one of our business partners started restricting the cipher suites they supported for encrypted connections. The GoAnywhere support documentation didn’t include steps for how to check this, and it also wasn’t abundantly clear from the interface how to configure it. Fortunately, GoAnywhere’s follow the sun support strategy connected me with a support representative in Sydney, Australia who knew exactly what to do, and the issue was resolved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an automated way to process incoming and outgoing data transfers. Before GoAnywhere, we had a manual, time-consuming process that relied on having a human in the loop. Thankfully, with GoAnywhere’s MFT automation features, we’ve freed up our employees’ time (1 hour per day) for more important work.
