GoAnywhere MFT product experience
What do you like best about the product?
The creation and automation of workflows are pretty simple in GoAnywhere MFT. The job logs are very helpful for troubleshooting.
The in-built webclient feature really gives a user-friendly web interface for the end users to upload or download the files still maintaining high level of security.
The challenges with email attachments are well addressed by the secure email feature.
The agent feature is an added advantage for those who do not have the knowledge capability to make use of any communication protocol for uploading the files to the GoAnywhere MFT server.
The AD integration, cloud and other Integrations, multifactor authentication are of very much help.
Enabling Active-Active clustering on multiple nodes can be easily achieved.
Through File Manager feature, the super users not necessarily have to login to the server to explore the filesystem.
Secure Forms, if used efficiently can help in creation of our own web interfaces.
Overall, I like every feature available in the product.

What do you dislike about the product?
Many users prefer to utilize the webclient but as it makes use of https protocols, it has it's own limitations to upload or download files.
Some users ask for key based login(password less) for webclient which I see is hard to achieve with GoAnywhere MFT.

GoAnywhere Enterprise Solution
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere is an extremely versatile and multi-faceted MFT tool. I have yet to run into something that it can't do. And we've barely the scratched the surface of using it for automation & API integration. We've also been able to have it integrate with our AWS, GCP and SharePoint environments easily. I've had to engage help and support on many instances and they have always provided great assistance in a timely manner. Would recommend GoAnywhere with two thumbs up
We use it daily for 100s of a job between various environments. It was easy to transfer old jobs to it and integrate new jobs. The implementation was helped by the support team at Fortra providing expert advice.
Overall its a great & versatile tool. Bit of a learning curve (especially if you haven't done any object oriented programming before). But the biggest strength is that it integrates really well with older systems (FTP environments, on-prem servers) and also with newer cloud environments (SharePoint, AWS, GCP)

What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, some of the more advanced functions within cloud environments are still being developed. So while Fortra is quick to add things in we have had some delays waiting for an exact feature or integration to be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to transfer tons of files between different financial institutions and oursleves. GoAnywhere provides the tool necessary to automate these processes securely. I have the assurance that no matter what environment, protocol, cert or encryption someoene else is using - I can do it in GoAnywhere.
Solid MFT solution
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere is fully functional for sFTP transfers between third parties and your company. Offers industry-standard ways of encrypting the data and relatively easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support can take a while to respond. I often have to escalate my requests to my customer success rep.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File transfer inter and intra company.
Me and MFT
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of implmentation and learning the product. Creating projects and resources is semi-intuitive, as long as you have a basic understanding of workflows and sudo code. Each page you navigate to has a helpful "?" you can click on to get full details on all options available for use.
What do you dislike about the product?
We really like the product, but support has declined over the past few years. I believe this is primarily due to the product’s growing popularity and an insufficient support team to handle all technical requests. Additionally, since we are on the IBM i system, I feel that much of the IBM i expertise has been lost over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GoAnywhere is solving all of our workflow automation in a common language (XML) that helps us interconnect multiple systems of different types.
GoAnywhere enables us to achieve our MFT goals.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use and the number of resource types that we can interface with. They also provide great customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont care for it being Java based, but it has not given us Java issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to do SFTP, and connect automation to S3 and Blob storage.
not good company
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT functions as an excellent managed file transfer solution which brings substantial improvements to our data transfer operations. GoAnywhere MFT provides an intuitive interface that enables all users including non-technical staff to move through its system. Through automation we complete work tasks and eliminate human mistakes as well as minimize time consumption. The solution provides complete data protection through data encryption and access control features which ensures the security of sensitive information when transfers occur.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our team has faced minor problems during GoAnywhere MFT usage because of delays in file synchronization with big files. The software needs an improved mechanism to manage failed transfers since it currently demands user assistance to fix such issues. The problems we have encountered with GoAnywhere MFT do not disrupt our main operational processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization previously faced difficulties both in moving big files and protecting their security. GoAnywhere MFT established an efficient solution to handle secure file transfer operations. The software eliminates our need to spend time searching for email approvals because it processes them automatically. Our team now dedicates more time to other tasks because we eliminated manual errors through the software platform.
