GoAnywhere MFT was purchased for its capacity for automation in file sharing, as I had a big load of work to share. Since I had a very big workload for one or two persons, it was costly. I looked at that when I would be hiring other people to help me in file management and file transfer, and it would have been quite expensive. At that moment, I decided to purchase GoAnywhere MFT for the purpose of file transfer and also for forming secure file requests from different locations and different people.

Secure and automated file transfers across departments
What do you like best about the product?
In my case, the most effective feature of the GoAnywhere MFT is that it handles file transfers between systems in a secure and systematized manner. Its implementation was not very difficult, and I frequently use it, and therefore, my usage rate is high. There are many features, such as file handling features that are encrypted, automated tasks as well as workflow checks that make sure that sensitive data is never compromised. It has reduced the errors of manuals and this has relieved time to complete other valuable jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The negative aspect of the GoAnywhere MFT is that some workflows on automated transfer are not always intuitive initially. These limits are felt even with a strong number of features with a high frequency of usage. Customer support is attentive, yet answering more complex setups may require longer than anticipated, whereby sometimes the team may need to alter tasks manually, so that transfers can be done successfully and error-free.

It has simplified procedures, minimized the number of errors and has enabled the team to concentrate on the more important work rather than spending time constantly checking and transferring files by hand.
Reliable File Transfer with Room for UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure file transfers, and I appreciate how it centralizes all our file exchange processes and ensures compliance with security and audit requirements. I find it reliable once everything is set up, and I don't have to worry about whether the files actually moved or if something got stuck halfway. The flexible workflows and the ease of integration with different systems, like SFTP servers, APIs, or cloud storage services, make the setup feel pretty straightforward. I also appreciate the scheduling features and how the software helps me track job statuses and get alerts in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can feel a bit dated and sometimes it takes too many clicks to find what I need. Some of the more advanced settings also have a learning curve, so it's not always obvious how to set things up the first time. The initial setup was manageable, but not exactly 'plug and play'. Once we started configuring more complex workflows and connections, the learning curve showed up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure file transfers, centralizing the process, replacing manual steps, and ensuring compliance with security requirements. It solves the problem of difficult tracking and errors by centralizing transfers and ensures files are securely sent on time.

Automation has streamlined secure file sharing, reduced manual workload, and enables remote teams to collaborate confidently with encrypted data
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate about GoAnywhere MFT is its automation process, which helps me schedule bulk tasks or multiple tasks at different times, and they automatically work upon themselves when the scheduled time reaches. Secondly, I want to discuss its compatibility; you can use it on the desktop as well as it has a mobile application, whereby if you have not moved with a laptop, you can easily use the mobile application to check on the processes and how they are running. The feature I value most is data encryption; this tool is highly encrypted, and when you share sensitive data, it is shared with encryption that cannot be tampered with during the transfer process. Additionally, it offers something complex in file sharing, and its deployment is also easy, allowing deployment either on cloud or premises, depending on the type of servers you are using at that moment, which gives a bigger chance that there is no limitation in deploying it.
GoAnywhere MFT has helped us save costs, especially where there is a need to hire more workers to assist in file monitoring. GoAnywhere MFT can handle multiple tasks, and in this process, it saves costs. Another benefit is sharing files in time, as files are being shared as scheduled. Work becomes effortless since things can be done through automation. I also want to mention another benefit related to integration with other software, as it has connectors that connect with tools such as Google Drive and OneDrive. This allows easy and error-free transfer of data saved on those platforms. Additionally, it provides strong encryption, ensuring that sensitive data is shared privately and confidentially without any challenges.
What needs improvement?
The challenge I faced with GoAnywhere MFT was during the purchasing process when I had to request a quotation before receiving pricing. If the purchasing process could be made more straightforward, similar to other tools where prices are standard and publicly displayed, it would be easier for clients who want quick purchases without many steps.
In actual sense, the features I use for my organization meet my requirements, so I do not see any other features that should be improved upon.
For how long have I used the solution?
This is my second year using GoAnywhere MFT.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I find GoAnywhere MFT very stable; even if a transfer process does not succeed on the first trial, the system automatically retries to resubmit the commands. I have never encountered crashes or maintenance issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I do not see limitations with its scalability; it runs well.
How are customer service and support?
I normally interact with the customer service team only when I want to add a new license. In this process, they are very friendly and responsive, faster than other services, especially when we recently wanted to add another license for another user.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before GoAnywhere MFT, I was doing file transfers using Microsoft SharePoint and Google Drive, but those tools did not offer a unified feature set that GoAnywhere MFT provides.
How was the initial setup?
I did not find many challenges in deployment because most of the work was done with GoAnywhere MFT team, and I was just following their instructions, which made the process straightforward.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing GoAnywhere MFT, I had done a survey over other tools and ran software tests. I tested M-Files, and although it has file management and transfer features, it also has complex parts. When I found GoAnywhere MFT, I realized it is specified for file transfers and management, which is why I chose it.
What other advice do I have?
When I was purchasing GoAnywhere MFT, I went directly to their website. When I went to their website, I had to schedule a demo, and after the demo, they made a quotation for me. Then it was just direct from the website.
I use connectors because before purchasing GoAnywhere MFT, I was using Microsoft tools such as SharePoint to organize my files. So, when I purchased GoAnywhere MFT, I connected it with the other connectors I was using. For example, before when I was using SharePoint to save data and transfer information, I had certain information on those tools. So, in the process of connection, it made it easy to access those files from SharePoint to GoAnywhere MFT, enabling me to share those files freely without any limitation.
I cannot comment on the range of connectors because my point of focus has been on the few connectors I used, which are only three, so I have not focused on the range. I find GoAnywhere MFT's connectors very beneficial because they help in information sharing from those connectors. They allow access to information from other tools, making it easy to share and download files, manually or through the automatic sharing process, thereby limiting errors when sharing these tools after connecting with GoAnywhere MFT.
I use GoAnywhere MFT Agents because some individuals in remote areas from our main servers need to access the agent form to share information in those remote areas. GoAnywhere MFT Agent is beneficial because individuals in remote areas can use it to load and process information, which then gets submitted to the control center where we have the central server. These agents help simplify some work and reduce the workload at the center.
I use GoAnywhere MFT's secure forms; these secure forms enable you to access information from team members and others. Instead of contacting team members directly, you can use these secure forms to request the information you want. The secure forms are impactful; they enable team members or groups to share information, and they are customizable, allowing you to add fields for the type of information you want to share. They also use encryption to ensure that the information shared through them cannot be tampered with.
I use the GoFast feature together with a tool called GoDrive. The GoFast feature helps me share files more easily; when I work with these tools together, it allows for faster file sharing than other tools, as documents can be compressed during sharing, which reduces file size and increases speed.
GoAnywhere MFT has saved my time in connecting securely with third parties I need to collaborate with. I cannot determine the exact amount of time saved, but it saves a lot. I can run programs overnight with automation, leaving everything to run while I am free during the day, sometimes even working from home.
I recommend other organizations to try GoAnywhere MFT because it offers trial days before purchasing, allowing organizations to test its effectiveness before committing. My overall rating for GoAnywhere MFT is a ten out of ten.
