Pleasantly good
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, especially for just FTP(non EDI) applications. The product is very stable and does not go down. Upgrades which we had 3-4 are just a breeze. Key management is very easy to use and can be done with beginner level.
What do you dislike about the product?
IDE is still a browser and no hooks to code repository. Cron scheduler expressions would be nice in the future and more robust transformation or language like scala would be awesome. Dynamic(in memory) rowset creation would really help with transformation as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We took out all file, FTP,SFTP transfers project from Mulesoft and never looked back. GoAnawhere is made for this reason and best in class. We also heavily utilizing the scheduler as we had historically had issue with Mulesoft cluster and pollers/scheduler on a broken cluster is a recipe for disaster. Mulesoft is now API based mirco services invoked by MFT schedulers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best part is pertetual license model. Buy once and just yearly support which is a small price to pay for ROI.

GoAnywhere MFT is the lifeblood of our automation for our SMB
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use for automation of routines. The full feature set provided by the system is world-class, and supporting the system from an SRE perspective is a breeze. Support has always been fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features require additional licensing or infrastructure to be provisioned. Large projects can be difficult to reverse engineer without good documentation from your developers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All things data are run through MFT. Automating push/pulls of files over SFTP, running automated database queries, generating flat file exports for ingest into downstream systems, and hitting application REST URIs to kick off processes in an automated fashion.
Outstanding software at a fantastic price.
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. Easy to use and reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
No folder structure in Monitors as there is in Projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With GAMFT we stopped using in-house macros and unsupported software.
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.
One of the Best MFT solution available right now.
What do you like best about the product?
Automating using Goanywhere trigger, We send alerts and notifications email in real-time using sftp file triggers. We run our decryption jobs based on the "upload successful" trigger so that our decryption can only trigger once the file is fully received.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess there is nothing that I dislike. I wish for few minor enhancements around PGP Key ID information in the decryption logs so that we can see the PGP key ID, which was originally used to encrypt the files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deal with a lot of to and fro file-based traffic, which needs to be encrypted at rest and in transit. Goanywhere helps us to manage all that seamlessly. KMS vault for PGP keys is an additional benefit.
Straight Forward and Useful MFT Service
What do you like best about the product?
The management console allows for precise, granular access to the MFT product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gateway configuration and changes are not necessarily intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized control of MFT processes for application use.
Security Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
UI and capabilities are endless. Usually more than one way to accomplish something.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I dislike about GoAnywhere. They are always adding features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More efficient SFTP and HTTPS endpoints, and now weve added the benefit of ICAP/DLP Scanning in conjunction with clearswift.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hands down the most comprehensive and up to date MFT software out there.
GoAnywhere is the best product for quick process turn around
What do you like best about the product?
The versatility of the product. It's more than just a file transfer program. It automates databases, file manipulation, scripts and more!
What do you dislike about the product?
The real downside for me is the GUI. I wish they had a desktop based admin IDE. Not saying the web based admin doesn't work I just think it's wonky sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File transfers, encryption, database, scripts and many other processes are being automated and it's a great product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy it! It really is an awesome product.
GoAnywhereMFT is very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the dashboard the best. It is so easy to get where you need to be and laid out and organized well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really is nothing that I dislike about the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is nice to have a secure way to share data that may have PHI in it. It takes all the worry out of how to get stuff where it needs to be and you can get a new user added and share data with them within 5 minutes which is very benificial.
Go Anywhere - SFTP of choice
What do you like best about the product?
The SFTP is great but when you add the workflow piece, it makes Go Anywhere a very effective and powerful business tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
To take advantage of all the benefits of Go Anywhere you have to buy add ons etc. It would be nice if it were an all-inclusive cost and the features were included even if the initial cost was higher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We receive PGP encrypted zip files from clients and using a trigger, we are alerted of the arrival of the files. That same trigger then launches a workflow that decrypts the file, relocates the file, unzips the files in their final destination for processing. The original encrypted file is then deleted by the same workflow.
These automation steps have allowed us to make the somewhat long process a much easier and automatic process. The workflow also sends an email to the processing unit to alert them that a file has arrived.
