Scans file to ensure security and provides valuable insight for administrative purposes
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The system is user-friendly and has significantly helped us meet our goals, particularly in file transfer. It eliminates human errors and has improved our workflow overall. Additionally, it has increased the speed at which work is processed and transferred.
The connectors work seamlessly. I don't have any complaints about the connectors.
What is most valuable?
My favorite feature is team collaboration, whereby a team can do personal-to-personal file transfers. I appreciate how files are being transferred. Before a file is shared with anyone, there is a scanning process that takes place, and the file is securely shared without any problem or malware existing in the file. After deploying the GoAnywhere MFT solution, we saw its benefits immediately.
What I love about this system, from the administrator's perspective, is that we can view who has logged in, the time of their login, and their location. This feature provides valuable insight into tracking and understanding who is using the system at any given time.
What needs improvement?
The area where I would suggest improvement is on the pricing side. The pricing is not favorable sometimes when we use it for a few people. Even if we purchase additional licenses, no discount is given. If we are adding a license on the system, they should look at that and frame an affordable price for everyone, whereby everyone can access these prices effectively. This would give a view and a clue on how the system could run better on our side.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for almost one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable. I have not seen any issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

How was the initial setup?
The deployment of GoAnywhere MFT was easy because we deployed the system on cloud. It took us around a period of 3 days because we had to talk to the expert of GoAnywhere MFT before we negotiated. As we were talking to the expert, the deployment started and we had to go step-by-step.
In terms of maintenance, it requires updates. Sometimes it slows down and requires updates.
What about the implementation team?
Only one person is required for this type of deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is not favorable when we use it for a few people.
What other advice do I have?

What needs improvement?
I would like to see GoAnywhere MFT integrating with more connectors or rather more integration with third-party tools. I feel there is still room for improvement in that area, but I'm quite satisfied overall.

GoAnywhere MFT offers a browser-based user interface that I find intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, it enhances the automation of the file transfer process, and I recommend its file and data encryption features for their high security compared to other similar products.
What other advice do I have?
I would suggest giving it a trial because it's worth the time, as it will help save more time and reduce human effort during the file transfer process. Consider it even when the price seems high because it allows management of all file transfers from a centralized place, making it easy to access and manage files.
I would highly recommend the use of GoAnywhere MFT to any individual or organization because it enhances managed and secure file transfer processes between systems and with partners. Additionally, it's cost-effective, saving more time and money through file transfer automation, making it a more economical choice.
I would rate GoAnywhere MFT a nine out of ten.
Translation of edi increases bot power.
What do you like best about the product?
For RPA developers, GoAnywhere's edi translation capability is fantastic. I don't need to write a lot of code to create bots that convert edi x12 files to json for our systems. My bots now communicate with legacy vendor systems thanks to the new Pesit capability, which is awesome. The scheduler is excellent; it allows me to trigger my bot transfers from other apps and performs them on a clock. Fips 140-2 encryption is used for sensitive data, and security is strict.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not perfect. It took me a day to map fields correctly because the edi setup is a little complicated. The interface is outdated and needs a makeover. Support is inconsistent; I once received a generic response that didn't resolve my problem. Some advanced features are more expensive, and the pricing is high for small teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was difficult to handle edi files because my bots required specialized scripts that frequently malfunctioned. I was able to automate it with GoAnywhere's translation tools, so I created a bot that takes only a few minutes to process vendor orders. My bots operate without my constant supervision thanks to the scheduler and API. It has reduced development time and greatly increased the dependability of our supply chain bots.
GoAnywhere for all data transfer and cloud service integration
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere is best due to its centralized server that helps me to automate and manage files transfer that supports almost all protocols like FTPS , SFTP that easily integrate to cloud services.

I really like how easy it is to automate file transfers. The interface is very simple, and I don’t have to worry about security. It saves my lot of manual effort, time and worry.

Sometimes the reporting could be more comprehensive. It gives the basics, but I’d love to see more customized report options to track specific file transfer activities or stats.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

new cloud connectors save bot time.
What do you like best about the product?
goanywhere mft’s The new cloud connectors from mft are great for RPA developers like me. It's really quick for me to connect bots to Google Drive and Salesforce without having to write my own scripts. The drag-and-drop workflow builder is great; it only took me minutes to set up file transfers with triggers. Strong security, like AES encryption, keeps the data my bots move safe. The browser interface is simple, and I can keep an eye on bot jobs from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cloud connectors are great, but they don't work with all of my apps, like Slack. When I have a lot of workflows going at once, the interface can lag, which makes testing take longer. Support is helpful, but they're slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was a mess when my bots had to use scripts that were hard to understand to move files between cloud apps before goanywhere. Plug-ins and workflows make it easy for me to automate tasks like backing up client data to drive. I made a bot that gets invoices from Salesforce and saves them in a secure folder. This saves hours of work that would have to be done by hand. It's made my RPA projects a lot safer and easier.
