Our main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is secure automated file transfer and workflow management for large and mapping data assets across internal teams and external partners. At HERE Technology, we work with spatial data that needs to be transferred securely and consistently between processing environments, analytics teams, and vendor systems. GoAnywhere MFT helps to automate these transfers while maintaining visibility, audit tracking, and schedule control.

One specific example involves automating the transfer of validated road network and map update datasets from our internal processing environment to downstream analytical and quality assurance systems.

Handling large-volume geospatial datasets that require reliable and secure delivery across multiple operational workflows is particularly important for our team. Since mapping and spatial data processing can involve continuous updates, we rely heavily on automation and scheduling to avoid delays in downstream systems. Day-to-day, GoAnywhere MFT is mainly used for monitoring scheduled transfers, validating successful job execution, logging secure integration, tracking audit logs, and troubleshooting transfer-related issues. The centralized dashboard and workflow visibility are especially useful for operational monitoring.

The best features that GoAnywhere MFT offers are that it is focused on reliable file transfer.

The features that stand out the most with GoAnywhere MFT are workflow automation, centralized monitoring, secure file transfer support, and detailed audit logging. From an operational perspective, the automation capabilities are probably the most valuable feature for our team. We use scheduled workflows and event-based triggers for recurring file transfers, which especially reduces manual intervention and improves consistency. This is especially useful when handling large geospatial datasets and recurring data chain processes.

Another strong feature is the centralized management interface. Having visibility into transfer job status and logs in a single dashboard makes day-to-day monitoring much easier for our operational team. The workflow tracking and audit trails are also very useful for troubleshooting and compliance-related reporting.

GoAnywhere MFT is a strong platform overall, but there are a few areas where the product could still improve. One area for improvement would be enhanced reporting and analytical capabilities. The platform provides solid audit logging and monitoring, but more advanced visualizations, customizable reporting dashboards, and deeper operational analytics would help teams analyze transfer performance and troubleshoot issues faster in large enterprise environments.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for two years.

GoAnywhere MFT is stable. We have not experienced any downtime or reliability issues.

GoAnywhere MFT has scaled well in our environment.

Overall, we have seen a positive return on investment for using GoAnywhere MFT through operational efficiency, reduced manual effort, and improved reliability for recurring file transfer workflows. One of the biggest benefits was time savings from automation. Before standardizing transfers through GoAnywhere MFT, some workflows required manual monitoring, scripting maintenance, and validation checks. After implementing automated scheduled workflows and centralized monitoring, the amount of manual intervention required to manage transfers decreased noticeably.

We also saw an improvement in transfer reliability and fewer operational issues related to failed or delayed transfers because monitoring, notifications, and tracking became centralized.

Our experience with the pricing of the solution has been generally positive. The platform is suitable for small to large-sized organizations. The license model was flexible because an organization can license additional capabilities based on their specific requirements. For setup and implementation, standard planning and configuration effort was required.

I would advise others considering GoAnywhere MFT to first thoroughly assess their file transfer workflows, integration requirements, security policies, and operational goals before implementation. The platform delivers the most value when it is used not just as a simple file transfer tool, but as a centralized managed file transfer and workflow automation solution.

Another strength for GoAnywhere MFT is the support for secure protocols such as SFTP, FTPS, and AS2. This simplifies secure integration with external vendor and partner systems. We also found the encryption and security controls useful for protecting sensitive data transfers.

GoAnywhere MFT delivers strong automation, security, and reliability for enterprise file transfer operations, but there are still some areas where the overall experience could be improved. The platform performs very well when it comes to secure managed file transfers, workflow automation, scheduling, centralized monitoring, and audit logging. These capabilities have improved operational efficiency and reduced manual effort. The areas for improvement are mainly related to usability and administrative complexity. I rate GoAnywhere MFT an 8 out of 10.

We are using GoAnywhere MFT in our software to create reports for patients, and we are placing those reports, which are basically PDF files, into GoAnywhere MFT so that different hospitals with their different software can fetch the reports. We use this to share PDF reports across the hospital chain.

In development, with GoAnywhere Secure Forms, we have a process where a patient report is created and then reviewed by multiple senior doctors, and for that purpose, we use this form to review and share feedback.

From my developer perspective, I appreciate GoAnywhere MFT because it supports almost all file transfer protocols including SFTP, HTTPS, and FTP, which are my main requirements since we are integrating from many third-party systems. The maximum file transfer support is the main feature I appreciate, as it is very useful for our operations.

The main benefits I have seen from using GoAnywhere MFT are related to data security because our patient reports are very critical, and it was very challenging for us to securely deliver these reports to different hospitals. This was our main challenge, and GoAnywhere MFT handles our data security needs very securely.

In terms of measurable benefits with GoAnywhere MFT, we have improved efficiency because we can now share secure files across our hospitals' networks very efficiently and safely.

GoAnywhere MFT has saved us time in securely connecting with the third parties we need to collaborate with, and I would give it a ten for security, as it is our main requirement.

The use of Secure Forms is useful for us in terms of getting feedback from multiple stakeholders, so it is beneficial for our operations.

Overall, GoAnywhere MFT is good for our organization, but sometimes we receive complaints from clients about lag, particularly when transferring larger files. We get feedback that it sometimes fails or takes too much time, causing operations to time out. I would appreciate improvements in performance.

I think GoAnywhere MFT could include more AI in the next release, as it deals with files containing lots of content, and broader AI integration would be a great help.

I have been working with GoAnywhere MFT for more than a year.

We have not experienced downtime with GoAnywhere MFT, but for large files, we do get reports from clients about timing out during transfers.

GoAnywhere MFT is very scalable.

We have connected with the technical support team multiple times after implementation while testing, but now everything is stable.

I would rate the technical support around nine on a scale of one to ten.

Positive

The initial setup of GoAnywhere MFT was straightforward, as there was no complexity. We had some documentation from the vendor, and we followed the steps, and it worked.

GoAnywhere MFT is time-saving for us.

We are using SharePoint as part of our GoAnywhere MFT integrations.

We have sufficient connectors to connect with other vendors using GoAnywhere MFT, so we are satisfied on that front.

The connectors provided by GoAnywhere MFT are very important because we need to connect to many third-party vendors, making them essential for our operations.

While we have achieved a lot with GoAnywhere MFT, we are communicating with additional vendors and will need a further solution to centralize processes.

I would advise other organizations considering GoAnywhere MFT that it is very good for handling secured file sharing across networks. I rate this product a nine overall.

On-premises

IBM

My main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is managed file transfer for both user-to-user based file transfer and automation-based file transfer, where we automatically transfer files between one source server to another destination server on a scheduled-based or on a monitored-based.

For user-to-user transfers, we allow the user to log in using Active Directory accounts or using their single sign-on integration, and once they log in, they simply upload their files and share those files with other users in the same organization or outside the organization. Sometimes, we create shared folders where multiple departments can use these shared folders to collaborate and use our shared files among each other. Similarly, I use the automation part from server to server where I have a specific infrastructure where files come to it; I use GoAnywhere MFT to automatically take a copy of those files and send it to another destination server in a separate infrastructure without having to do any of it manually.

Our main use case also involves sharing large files, especially with people who are outside the organization, since we have a lot of limitations when it comes to Outlook; we cannot share big files on Outlook, so we use GoAnywhere MFT to share any number of files or any file size or file type with any organization outside the network because we work with a lot of third-party companies where we require to share a lot of data with them or sometimes we need a lot of data from them, so we use it accordingly.

GoAnywhere MFT has positively impacted my organization by simplifying the file transfer process, making it easier, and enhancing security.

Specific outcomes or metrics that show this positive impact include time saving and scalability; on any given day, you can share any file you want with anyone you want.

GoAnywhere MFT does save a lot of time on a daily basis, especially with the automation workflow; it allows you to focus on your work rather than sitting and copying files manually from one place to another, so you come back the next day and find all the files you need in the destination where you needed them.

The best features GoAnywhere MFT offers include scalability, security, ease of use, and technical features overall.

What stands out to me with its scalability is that we can deploy multiple servers easily, and we can set them up running as high availability in active-active mode; another point for scalability is that we can deploy MFT agents, which can simplify the scalability and we can run automation on multiple locations or remote sites. In terms of security, all the file transfers are moved in a secure way using secure protocols like HTTPS or SFTP, utilizing AES 256 encryption, and it is a FIPS 140-2 supported solution. Additionally, it features extensive customization concerning role-based access, allowing better security because if I give any access to any user inside of my system, I can customize the exact role and the permissions that user gets when using GoAnywhere MFT.

The automation engine I have seen in GoAnywhere MFT is one of the strongest in the market; I have seen other Move It or other automation systems when it comes to file transfers, but they do not have the extensive capabilities of GoAnywhere MFT, especially the customization that you can do in the automation engine, as well as integration with the ICAP solution so that the file, when moving from one place to another through automation, is sent to an external third-party system that does the scanning and verification that this file is secure, does not have any malware, or does not possess any threat against the organization.

I make use of GoAnywhere MFT agents, and it is very important to my operations because we want to move files within remote locations. If you have only one GoAnywhere MFT server and want to move files within a remote location, this external server would cause delays in file transfer since the file would have to leave the organization and then come back to it. Using an agent in that remote location simplifies the process, allowing faster movement of files within the same organization while providing full control and audit logs from the GoAnywhere MFT server, ensuring complete visibility over the GoAnywhere MFT agents.

I believe GoAnywhere MFT could be improved with a better UI regarding user-to-user file sharing; one of the most requested features is related to user collaboration. Currently, if I share a Word document with another user inside of GoAnywhere MFT, that user lacks the capability to edit the document directly. Multiple users cannot access or collaborate on the same file simultaneously; each user has to download the file separately, edit it, and then overwrite the existing file on MFT. A great addition would be to allow multiple users to collaborate and edit the same file without needing to download it to their machines and re-upload it.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for the last five years.

GoAnywhere MFT is stable.

GoAnywhere MFT's scalability is very easy to scale.

Customer support honestly needs to be improved because we faced a lot of issues with customer support, and it is probably the most significant downside about GoAnywhere MFT. From my experience, we have faced many challenges, including slow responses and a lack of responses from the support team, with many issues remaining unresolved for extended periods due to the support team's inaction or lack of support.

I previously used Move It Automation; we switched to GoAnywhere MFT because its automation engine is much more powerful, allowing more customization and especially the ICAP integration, which I did not have in Move It Automation.

I have seen a return on investment primarily consisting of time saved and effort saved; the return on investment involves saving time and reducing workload.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has been good overall.

Before choosing GoAnywhere MFT, I did not evaluate other options.

GoAnywhere MFT is a great tool that saves you a lot of time; it has a lot of security features and a strong automation engine. The best use cases are server-to-server file transfers and user-to-user file transfers, all coming in one single solution.

Regarding GoAnywhere MFT's AI capabilities, I have not seen any AI capabilities in GoAnywhere MFT.

Currently, I am not using any connectors for services such as Salesforce, SharePoint online, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or other services.

I rate GoAnywhere MFT an eight out of ten because, as I mentioned, there are these two missing features I have talked about, and once they are integrated, it can be considered as ten out of ten.

On-premises

I mainly use GoAnywhere MFT for file transfer and data integrations. We use it to move files between internal systems and external vendors, and also databases like Oracle and SQL, as well as cloud storage like Azure and AWS. This is our main use case for GoAnywhere MFT. After vendors send files or data, we validate it and move it to Azure Blob or ADLS on Azure.

What I appreciate most about GoAnywhere MFT is that without maintaining separate Python scripts, shell scripts, cron jobs in Linux, or any other encryption tools and monitoring for every file transfer, I can manage most of that from one platform: GoAnywhere MFT. I also appreciate the automations in GoAnywhere MFT, the security is excellent, and the monitoring and the number of integrations available for cloud storage are valuable.

I use connectors for services such as Azure Blob and Amazon S3. I have used the connectors for GoAnywhere MFT via SFTP or FTP, which makes it easier to connect external vendors and cloud storage and also databases without building everything from scratch. Connectors are very useful for establishing a secured connection between GoAnywhere MFT and external systems. The integration of cloud storage is really helpful for us. We have configured our Azure Blob and ADLS connection and use it to upload or download files.

The connectors I use in GoAnywhere MFT are out of the box, such as SFTP and FTP, as they are commonly used protocols and are already available.

I have used GoAnywhere Agents, which are useful when I need to automate file transfers or workflows on a remote system or without exposing those systems directly to a central server. We have used the agents for that purpose.

We have used Secure Forms to transfer text data securely when we need to collect files or information from users through a secured web-based form, instead of asking them to use FTP or email for credential data or banking information. An external user or business partner can upload documents through a secure form, and submitted data or files can be processed through the workflow. Secure Forms is very useful for encrypted data or credential data.

I have tried using GoFast, which is mainly useful for accelerating large file transfers whenever we are dealing with large files or transferring data over a long network or long distance. When we are working with big data, GoFast helps because transfers get slow because of latency or network issues. GoFast is very helpful in that scenario.

I have not found any dislikes regarding GoAnywhere MFT. Sometimes it gets slowed because we have to transfer big data, though this is natural because it takes some time. There are no such issues beyond that. With respect to cost, I do not have any special insights about that. There is some learning required for configurations at the starting stage, but after learning all the configurations and setup, it is really easy to use.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for around one year.

GoAnywhere MFT is highly scalable. We use it with our cloud integration, and GoAnywhere MFT is independently very scalable. It can scale in terms of number of users, file transfer workflows, or connections with our cloud. It is very good in scalability.

I have contacted the technical support for GoAnywhere MFT on one of my projects when there was a complex issue such as a certificate problem or authentication failure. There was also a connector issue for Azure. The support team helped us for around two to three days to troubleshoot that issue. I give the support for GoAnywhere MFT a rating of nine out of ten. I give the support this rating because they were really helpful for the configuration as we were facing many issues in that area. Even our seniors were quite confused, but they really helped us with the configuration and connectivity.

I have not used any alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT, as I use GoAnywhere MFT only. I am working with GoAnywhere MFT or the data file transfer tool for the first time.

When I joined the company, GoAnywhere MFT was already in place and had been deployed before I joined. Learning how to use GoAnywhere MFT is not very difficult. We have to take some help from the support team or seniors. The basic file transfer operations like SFTP, scheduling, and simple workflows are fairly easy to understand. When we have to start working on advanced features such as encryption, agents, or multiple connectors, it gets quite difficult, and we have to take help from the seniors or the support team for GoAnywhere MFT.

There is no maintenance required from my end for GoAnywhere MFT, as there is another maintenance team for this, including networking engineers. They maintain all the requirements, and we only focus on the data pipeline and maintaining all the environments to run that pipeline easily and smoothly. I would give GoAnywhere MFT a rating of nine out of ten.

Microsoft Azure

With GoAnywhere MFT, I am able to move between and explore the use cases from automation to data translation, REST API, SOAP API calls, and integration with third-party applications like ICAP and its sister solution, Clearswift Secure ICAP Gateway and more. Most importantly, I specialize in the project workflow and the automation feature of GoAnywhere MFT.

Most of the connectors that I use within GoAnywhere MFT is the ICAP connector, which connects to a secure internet content adaptation protocol to provide an additional feature of GoAnywhere MFT, which is data leak prevention and antivirus scanning.

On the range of connectors available in GoAnywhere MFT, I have not received any complaints from the customers we have installed or deployed GoAnywhere MFT for, but I understand technology is fast-growing, and I hope GoAnywhere MFT will not be left behind.

GoAnywhere MFT's connectors are very important to my daily operations because the flexibility to connect to different third-party applications makes GoAnywhere MFT shine compared to other MFT solutions.

With my company being represented, it will be better for my review to be published.

In my opinion, the best function in GoAnywhere MFT is the Secure Forms. My personal favorite is the Secure Forms, wherein I can create custom fields that support different types of fields such as text boxes, radio buttons, and more. The back end is integrated with a project workflow that creates the automation, making everything in the process much easier and more accurate within the organization.

The main benefits I receive from using or acquiring GoAnywhere MFT in the organization are, first of all, the return on investment when it comes to automation itself. Security measures still have a long way to go, but since GoAnywhere MFT focuses on IT automation, this enables the company to provide IT staff with more productivity on other aspects of their jobs.

Recently, I have been working with bulk web user imports for existing clients, and I introduced the CSV upload for bulk importation of web user registration. I would suggest that providing a sample CSV file with the exact columns would be very beneficial to end users.

I have been working with GoAnywhere MFT for approximately four years.

For stability, I would rate it as nine because I understand GoAnywhere MFT is still improving itself.

For scalability, I will rate it as ten.

For technical support, I will rate it as ten. We already have our own technical team who is very proficient with GoAnywhere MFT.

Positive

The configuration of GoAnywhere MFT from deployment to completion is straightforward, and that is also one of our main drivers when comparing it to other MFT solutions.

The main benefits I receive from using or acquiring GoAnywhere MFT in the organization are, first of all, the return on investment when it comes to automation itself. Security measures still have a long way to go, but since GoAnywhere MFT focuses on IT automation, this enables the company to provide IT staff with more productivity on other aspects of their jobs.

Our main competitor in the market for GoAnywhere MFT is Progress MoveIt.

With recent biddings and client rollouts, MoveIt has not won any projects against our GoAnywhere MFT solution.

For MFT automation, GoAnywhere MFT Agents enable remote offices, branches, or other remote servers that do not have FTP capability to be visible to my orchestration diagrams.

Regarding the functionality of GoAnywhere MFT, I am satisfied. I have not seen any flaws so far.

The pricing of GoAnywhere MFT is fair. I don't have any complaints about it. It feels really reasonable, and for the automation features that they provide, it is nice. It may feel high for basic needs, but the stability makes it all worth it.

I cannot recall using this exact feature of GoAnywhere MFT, but my colleagues might have used them, and I have never received any complaints about any feature of this kind.

There is very minimal maintenance for GoAnywhere MFT from our side, mostly checking the logs, updating the credentials, and adjusting the workflows whenever anything changes. Nothing extraordinary is required for maintenance.

I have not done this with GoAnywhere MFT, but my colleagues have done it quite a few times, two or three times, and I have never heard any complaints about it from them.

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is secure file transferring and workflow automation to schedule data exchange between internal systems and external vendors.

I use GoAnywhere MFT to automatically transfer and encrypt financial and reporting files between our internal servers and external partners on scheduled workflows with alerts for failed and delayed transfers.

What stands out about my main use case with GoAnywhere MFT is how much manual effort it removes by centralizing transfer scheduling, encryption, and monitoring in a single platform.

The best features GoAnywhere MFT offers, in my opinion, are workflow automation, secure file transfer protocols, centralized monitoring with detailed audit logging, and the ability to automate complex multi-step file transferring processes without relying on custom scripts.

The centralized monitoring and audit logging help a lot because I can track all files, transfers, failures, and user activities from one dashboard, which makes troubleshooting and compliance reporting easy.

The automation builder is really useful because it reduces the need for custom scripting and makes recurring transfer workflows much easier to manage.

GoAnywhere MFT has positively impacted my organization by improving transfer reliability, reducing manual file handling, and helping standardize secure data exchange processes across different teams and external partners.

We have seen fewer transfer failures and a significant reduction in our manual interventions since most recurring file exchange tasks are now automated and centrally monitored.

On-premises

My main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is file transfer. Before using GoAnywhere MFT for file transfer, we could only transfer 2GB of data using one of the free tools, but after we started using GoAnywhere, our files are very secure and encrypted because we work on client data, so we can securely share all the database and all the code with our clients.

We started using GoAnywhere MFT four months ago, and our major use case is file transfer because we are working on some tools related to banking and e-commerce, so we use this tool for sending data to our clients.

The best feature of GoAnywhere MFT, in my opinion, is file sharing in encrypted form. The encryption feature in GoAnywhere MFT stands out for me because while the initial setup is a bit complicated, the encrypted use cases are excellent compared to other tools, which is why we can use this tool.

I would add that GoAnywhere MFT includes secure transfer protocols such as HTTPS, SFTP, and FTPS and more advanced B2B standards, and the encryption, authentication, and access control are features I appreciate most, along with reporting. GoAnywhere MFT has impacted my organization positively, with security being the most important reason we use this tool.

I believe that GoAnywhere MFT can be improved because the initial setup is somewhat challenging for a new user, so they need to make the initial feature easier for everyone, whether new or experienced users. I also think that the UI needs improvement, aiming for cleaner and quicker visuals.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for the last four months.

GoAnywhere MFT is stable in my experience.

GoAnywhere MFT's scalability is great.

The customer support for GoAnywhere MFT is good.

Previously, we used WeTransfer. We decided to switch from WeTransfer to GoAnywhere MFT because WeTransfer is not secure and there is a limit of only 2GB that we can send to clients, but with GoAnywhere, we can send more than 2GB.

We purchased GoAnywhere MFT directly from their website.

We purchased GoAnywhere MFT directly from their website.

We have seen a return on investment. GoAnywhere MFT saves a lot of time for our team, allowing us to share files securely with our clients.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing GoAnywhere MFT; I researched this tool and after that, I purchased it without looking at other tools.

This tool is much faster compared to other tools, and our clients feel more secure about their data. Although we have faced errors in some cases, not with this tool. I would advise others to use GoAnywhere MFT instead of other tools because it is secure and faster than the competition.

Overall, GoAnywhere MFT has been a reliable and secure solution for managing file transfers in our organization, being very helpful for our team and clients in terms of security, workflow, and automation. I would recommend GoAnywhere MFT to my friends and other organizations if anyone asks me because it is an amazing tool for the file transfer field. I gave this product a rating of eight out of ten.
