Been pleased with GoAnywhere!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, lots of functionality, good customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
While GoAnywhere includes reading from and writing to Excel, it seems to be very memory intensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize GoAnywhere for our MFT tasks as well as many of our automation tasks, including orchestrating ETL and reporting processes

One feature caused more issues than it did good
What do you like best about the product?
How the Monitors work, and the Projects/programming, although they don't call it programming...
What do you dislike about the product?
Some unexpected defects of various significance. One of them being the user quota feature causing major performance degradations. Lack of explicit system/platform requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Combining file servers for two external protocols with automation. We push/pull files externally as well as move files internally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before buying, have HelpSystems review your intended target platform for infrastructural choices and commit to supporting, especially if you're deploying on a cloud platform.
Great MFT Product
What do you like best about the product?
Great product over all with great features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having the option for users to easily change their passwords.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to receive and send files from one product.
Great alternative to large ETL systems
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to write jobs to pull or upload data. You can write ETL jobs in under 30 minutes most of the time. The source code is XML and can be quickly edited. It also has tremendous speed when accessing data in SQL server and DB2. I can access data from SQL Server faster than SSIS can on the same server.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have a drag and drop interface. Compared to Datastage and SSIS it can be a bit difficult to get a good overview of what the job is doing. The other problem has been the quality of technical support. It is very easy to stump the technicians with relatively simple questions. That never happened before Linoma was purchased by Help Systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for ETL and for validity checking of data. It has helped us implement changes rapidly at low cost. We also get orders from our customers and send ASN's using GoAnywhere. Another neat thing to do is to extract data into Excel and email it to users instead of building a complicated BI report.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product isn't necessarily as robust as Datastage or SSIS but it has some real good points. Don't dismiss it out of hand. It has a large number of reporting tools that let you know how a job has executed and you can see trends when a job has run longer than normal. It also has a lot of tools to make it usable in Sarbox companies.

MFT and all that comes with it.

Small learning curve and easy to figure out how to set up and use. The support team is one of the best I have had the chance to work with.

GoAnyWhere GateWay - Great transfer application
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere allows me to have a secure and auditable file transfer platform that works both on https and SFTP platforms. There are many customizable features that provide innovative options for those that can develop or code to them. The multiple client API options make things easy for clients to access the system in a variety of ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
GoAnywhere has many options and features. Each one has a cost and a license - In order to use some features to their desired extent, multiple licenses are sometimes needed. This tends to make things difficult to asses when determining the cost of a new feature. GoAnywhere reps are very helpful in determining costs but sometimes the amount can be a surprise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved secure file transfers that have auditable capacities to address various compliances in regards to the nature of the files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the features you need and those you plan on implementing in the future so you can plan the appropriate budget.
Tool for secure file transfer
What do you like best about the product?
Web interface is user friendly. Menus are laid out clearly. Quick links on dashboard is very Continent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not I can think of any. Log access in previous versions was not easy to use, but version 5 has fixed this issue. Filters are easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure file transfer of file from internal and external vendors.
