GoAnywhere - Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
We were able to seamlessly convert from our previous SFTP product, as GoAnywhere allowed us to import all of our User ID's. It took a little while to understand how to build the automated scripts to process incoming files, but we received a fair amount of training and hands-on consulting to get us going. Now that we have all of our scripts written, our process has dramatically improved!
What do you dislike about the product?
The MFT code can be a little difficult to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The manual process we used to perform to decrypt files and move them to their proper location was painful. This has now happens instantly! It saves both time as well as lessens mistakes.
