Helpful advice and guidance
What do you like best about the product?
Having a central location for all my data transfer tasks is best. Repeating tasks which were impossible to monitor, scattered all over the network have been replaced with a single point of management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found, and still find, the initial learning curve to be extremely steep. Once you have implemented project, it is relatively simply to design new project with similar functions, but that first time can be a real challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problems GA has solved has been in reducing unnecessary file transfers. We have a number of processes that update files which need to be synchronized to a variety of "in-production" deployments. Where we has timed synchronizations running every few minutes, with GA's Monitoring Triggers, files are checked at a times interval, but only synchronized when a change has occurred. We have seen a significant "quieting" of the network from this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a good replacement of existing in-house product which was having lots of vulnerabilities.
Consistent performance and secure daily transfers
What do you like best about the product?
I like GoAnywhere MFT the most for being very reliable for regular file transfers. We literally run it many times a day and it’s always been the same. I also like that recurring timed transfers are possible, and that has been helpful to meet tight vendor deadlines. We’ve also integrated it with our accounting tool such that reports are pushed automatically, and everything is kept on track. Now it’s as good of a part of our daily workflow as any we’ve ever had.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, one downside is that debugging takes so long when a job fails. The error messages tend to be impercise and it can be like playing a side of guessing as to what, exactly, is the issue. On a number of occasions we’ve had small schedule or config mistakes that have led to delays in a department everywhere. That kind of downtime stacks up fast, especially for processing at the end of the month. A clearer indication on what went wrong when something goes wrong would be a lot more useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to GoAnywhere MFT, staff will usually manually send files to partners and vendors. There was plenty of room for human error, missed steps and honestly quite a bit of burnout from all the repetitive work. Now, without someone babysitting that process, those transfers are now possible. This has helped cuts on mistakes, freed up our team from spending brain power on what our software is programmed for. In times like quarterly close, it has been a huge relief.
Reliable transfer system with detailed file history
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT is a very nice tool that takes out the mess when you have to share sensitive files. Finances reports and contracts going back and forward between clients and our intenal teams, and having log history is a big win. It has put an end to confusion as to whether a file has been delivered or not. Everything will flow naturally with it running alongside our document solution. My biggest confidence when dealing with clients is the clean audit trail.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst part is that error messages do not help in figuring out what went wrong, and they are worded in a most annoying manner. We have had transfer failures that did not easily fix because the alert wasn’t easy to trace back to the problem. Indeed, that delay can really throw off our timelines, especially in some ways in the afternoons when traffic is at its worst. Now due to this, we are forced to put up extra internal tracking just to fix it in a faster way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With GoAnywhere MFT, it has become crazy to stay on top of file transfers but we can do it with GoAnywhere MFT. We used to miss deadlines and we no longer emailed files through insecure ways. This has made it more organized for Communication with 3rd parties and Departments. Now our teams use it every day as part of their routine, and it has eliminated the need for emails all day asking whether you have sent it.

Good experience for Go Anywhere MFT
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT daily for the past four years, and its been a great experience. its really easy to use and doesn't require much maintenance, if you are running it on premises dowtime is minimal. even regular users can figure it out without much guidance because everything is pretty self explanatory. there have beeen very few issues, and whenever something does come up, its usually easy to troubleshoot, the technical support is excellent. integrating it with other systems didn't take much time either, its a reliable and well regarded tool in the managed file transfer space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, progress customer support does not provide the most helpful responses when we run into issues with application. in many cases, we end up having to figure things ourselves, if you are familar with how the program works, its usually not too hard to solve the problems on your own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure and automated file transfer are a big part of my job they are essential to keeping things running smoothly.
Implements robust encryption and simplifies file transfer processes with impressive integration and automation features
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The documentation provided is sufficient to understand and integrate the solution.
The GoAnywhere MFT agents are deployed locally, and they provide a browser-based interface that makes it easy to configure and schedule file transfers, which is beneficial for automation and workflow management.
Over time, we discovered that the scheduling feature and integration aspects work very effectively.
It has saved considerable time because we didn't need to write extensive custom code to integrate it. Most features were drag and drop, and with its browser-based software interface, it proved to be excellent overall and saved us significant time.
We have used the security features only once or twice, but the security it provides is excellent. The GoFast feature is being used by our tech teams, and they found it very fast and efficient while transferring files and data related to code. It reduces the need for custom code significantly. The VMware virtual environment was capable of connecting with the virtual servers.
What is most valuable?
The encryption feature is very impressive in GoAnywhere MFT, and the encryption provided by the company is much stronger than other file transferring software. The automation feature allows teammates to see and schedule file transfers, and the API integration capabilities are amazing features.
What needs improvement?
A drawback is that it is not as feature-rich compared to its competitor Sterling, which we used before. It has fewer features, though it is more intuitive. This was the compromise we had to make during the transition.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for 1 year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It was very stable compared to other solutions we have used, so I would not complain regarding this.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is highly scalable as the data we had before compared to now has changed significantly during this time. With the scaling of the company, it was absolutely capable of handling all the data and databases.
How are customer service and support?
We have contacted them for issues and bugs. They have their number on their website to call, and they are fast and available all the time. With the live chat feature on the website, they are available almost every time, which is great.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
The features we had in Sterling were more, but compared to Sterling, GoAnywhere MFT is more intuitive and our teammates can easily understand it. We don't need to explain and train people to learn about it, as they can read documentation and easily adapt to it, making GoAnywhere MFT better.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment was very easy as the documentation was provided and they had trial packages. Their team helps with the demo, making it easy to deploy with the VMware environment. For fully setting it up and integrating with our database, it took 3 to 4 days.
What about the implementation team?
There were three people involved in the implementation.
What was our ROI?
It has saved a lot of time because we didn't need to write extensive custom code to integrate it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is decent for mid-sized and small-sized companies. It is good for startups or mid-scale companies.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise trying the demo and trials according to your company's needs. You should compare and correlate your experiences. It's important to do a trial and consider the amount of data in your company.
I would also recommend reading their documentation and exploring the resources section on their website, where you can watch tutorials, product videos, and guides.
I would rate GoAnywhere MFT an eight out of ten.
