Provides an almost complete range of connectors
Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT provides an almost complete range of connectors. GoAnywhere's agents allow us to extend MFT automation to remote systems, which is helpful for our clients with branches in different countries. By using the agent along with the automation service, we can interact with remote servers, thereby increasing productivity and transfer times between those servers and the head office. GoAnywhere MFT has improved our client's KPIs. Before implementing GoAnywhere MFT, our clients didn't receive notifications when there were errors in the file process and now they are instantly informed. To ensure a safe data collection process during the pandemic, our clients transitioned from Google Forms to GoAnywhere Secure Forms. This allowed them to securely fill out digital forms upon entering the building, with the option to attach them directly to their database. Before GoAnywhere Secure Forms, our clients had to rely on third-party solutions but now they only have to use the MFT for their use cases. The Go Fast feature improves the data transfer speeds for our clients. GoAnywhere MFT saves our clients time connecting securely with third-party collaborations. Removing the manual intervention has saved around 90 percent of their time.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HelpSystems GoAnywhere MFT is very reasonably priced for the value it brings."
"Pricing is based on a one-time license."
"GoAnywhere was the most attractively priced product that met our needs. In our PoC it really came down to MOVEit and GoAnywhere, and GoAnywhere's pricing was about 30 percent less."
"I get the invoices, and its price is fine and appropriate. It is well priced. Even if it was double the price, we'd use it. For us, it is indispensable. We're not going to go anywhere else. There are no additional costs. Its licensing is good. There is just one charge that we get. That's it."
"It is very attractive. In terms of the capacity of the product and functionality, it is a good price."
"Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT is an inexpensive solution."
"The cost is fine. It is probably the best software that I've had for the money that we spend for it. I am not aware of any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. I don't pay for it. IT pays for it."
"Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT carries a higher price tag than other MFT solutions."
