GoAnywhere MFT Reviews

GoAnywhere MFT is a centralized encryption and centralized tool where all files are automatically transferred between clients and our onshores so that easy transfer of files with encryption is being proceeded accordingly.

SharePoint is the connector that we use.

GoAnywhere MFT has significantly improved as it has provided many more connectors to third-party tools as well, where third-party tools which are included with ServiceNow, software asset management as well as hardware asset management. Everything is very much automated. Every single data, which includes financial figures also, are being maintained in GoAnywhere MFT and it is one of the best things for the centralized document management perspective. It has even replaced the OpenText document archive by SAP archives, which was earlier provided. GoAnywhere MFT has replaced this with a much more reliable cost.

For the best features of GoAnywhere MFT, I would rate the powerful automations that we have of workflow management. I would add it up with the centralized management, which actually is a single platform to control all the transfers. One more feature would be the logs that show to whom the data is shared, by whom the data is shared, and when the data is shared. Every log is being kept. That is very important for the encryption perspective and also the additional encryptions of HTTPS and all which are provided by GoAnywhere MFT is a plus point on that.

For the improvement perspective in GoAnywhere MFT, the UI at earlier times was very much outdated. Now some features have improved, but there is significant improvement much required in that. The encryption perspective has improved a lot from the cybersecurity perspective for the data to be managed end-to-end encryption. That is one of the best things that we can have right now. Those are the two points that have improved a lot in the past few years.

For the improvement perspective, I would tell that the learning curve or the implementation time of the software is pretty high, which can be reduced or simplified in a normal format. That is one of the key improvements that is needed. Cost can be considered as high, especially for small businesses. But for mid and large businesses, GoAnywhere MFT is a one-step solution. One of the most important things that needs to be improved is the customer support. It is slow, irresponsive, and inconsistent.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for nearly one to two years now, and it has been a very pleasant journey as of today.

Rarely, but I do use the GoFast feature to accelerate data transmission.

The experience is good, but its cost efficiency is higher. So for that reason, we do not use that often. But when there is a large chunk of data which needs to be accelerated fast for a delivery perspective, we use that to ensure the delivery lines are matched up.

Seven would be fine. Seven is good because it gets unstable with very high chunks of data sometimes for which the accelerator is required. So seven is normally acceptable for it.

GoAnywhere MFT stands as one of the top contenders in this. It has very high scalability, which is very important for us to maintain the software in day-to-day life. But for smaller businesses, it is costly. For mid and large businesses which we actually cater to, I think it is one of the best solutions that we have. We can rate it as out of five, we can rate it at a scale of four point two.

It is a nine. It is highly scalable.

It was a bit challenging in the initial first, but we got the customer support and then we got it sorted out.

One of the most important things that needs to be improved is the customer support. It is slow, irresponsive, and inconsistent.

It took around one to two months to get deployed completely.

Approximately, it is around seven hundred. There are more than ten thousand employees, but only seven hundred to eight hundred people in our team that I know use GoAnywhere MFT. I do not know about the others, but approximately as per my knowledge, it is seven hundred.

I am not sure if we use that or not. But for the document perspective, we use it through the automations. For the implementation perspective, I am not sure with the question.

Secure Forms has actually improved in the most important part as the survey collector. It actually confirms all the information that is being gathered inside the documents. It takes out the document in a single form and then logs it down in a single unit, which is actually a summarized form. It is very much useful for summarizing long documents into a shorter form.

For GoAnywhere MFT, for other people who are proceeding to procure it, for smaller businesses, I would ask them to go for a much cheaper solution because GoAnywhere MFT comes at a higher cost. But for mid to high-range organizations, I would definitely recommend GoAnywhere MFT as a one-stop solution because of the high scalability as well as the high security. It is a very good software. Even if small organizations want to invest a cost and if the cost is not a burden for them, of course, they can go for GoAnywhere MFT. It is a splendid software. I gave this review an overall rating of eight point five.

One of the best features of GoAnywhere MFT is its integration with other third-party tools, such as Microsoft SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive. This integration simplifies the file transfer process, saving me more time because its purpose is to enable time-saving during the file transfer process.

I would like to see GoAnywhere MFT integrating with more connectors or rather more integration with third-party tools. I feel there is still room for improvement in that area, but I'm quite satisfied overall.

I've been using this solution for about one and a half years.

It's stable. I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten.

Scalability is simple. I would give it a nine out of ten for scalability.

We have it deployed both on-premise and in the cloud. The cloud deployment is with Amazon and Azure.

It requires some maintenance, but it is easy to maintain GoAnywhere MFT.

I've seen a return on investment of between 25% to 30% of the total amount of time saved.

The pricing of GoAnywhere MFT is affordable compared to other similar products. It's not expensive, according to me. What influenced my purchase decision was the fact that the product was quite affordable.

One thing that makes GoAnywhere MFT stand out against its competitors is its compatibility with multiple platforms, as I can use it on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It offers flexible deployment options, allowing me to deploy it on-premise or in the cloud. 

GoAnywhere MFT offers a browser-based user interface that I find intuitive and user-friendly. Additionally, it enhances the automation of the file transfer process, and I recommend its file and data encryption features for their high security compared to other similar products.

I would suggest giving it a trial because it's worth the time, as it will help save more time and reduce human effort during the file transfer process. Consider it even when the price seems high because it allows management of all file transfers from a centralized place, making it easy to access and manage files.

I would highly recommend the use of GoAnywhere MFT to any individual or organization because it enhances managed and secure file transfer processes between systems and with partners. Additionally, it's cost-effective, saving more time and money through file transfer automation, making it a more economical choice.

I would rate GoAnywhere MFT a nine out of ten.

Our main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is secure file transfer between internal systems and external vendors. We mostly use it for automated file movement over SFTP and other secure protocols where files need to be transferred on a scheduled basis without manual intervention. On a day-to-day basis, we mainly monitor transfer jobs, troubleshoot connectivity or transfer failure if they occur, check logs, and ensure secure communication between systems. It also helps in maintaining centralized visibility and reducing manual effort for repetitive file transfer tasks.

A regular workflow we run using GoAnywhere MFT involves automated file transfer from internal application servers and external vendors over SFTP. For example, certain business-related files are generated automatically at a fixed time during the day. GoAnywhere MFT handles the automation, encryption, and delivery process, which reduces manual effort and helps ensure secure transfer. If any transfer fails, we monitor logs and alerts to quickly troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Overall, our main use case with GoAnywhere MFT has been around secure and automated file transfers with minimal intervention. One thing we particularly value is the centralized monitoring and logging, which makes it easier to track transfers and troubleshoot issues when needed. It has helped improve operational efficiency and maintain secure communication between systems and external partners.

Since adopting GoAnywhere MFT, we have seen improvements in automation and operational efficiency, especially for recurring file transfer processes. It has reduced manual intervention and helped make file exchange more secure and reliable. Centralized monitoring and logging have also improved our ability to track transfers and troubleshoot issues quickly. Overall, it has helped streamline file transfer operations and reduce delays caused by manual processes.

The best features that GoAnywhere MFT offers, in my experience, are its workflow automation, secure file transfer capabilities, and centralized monitoring. The automation feature stands out the most because it reduces manual effort by allowing scheduled and repeatable file transfer processes. Support for secure protocols such as SFTP and encryption is also valuable from a security perspective. Another feature that stands out is the centralized logging and monitoring, which makes troubleshooting easier.

One additional feature I appreciate about GoAnywhere MFT is the flexibility it provides in integrating with different systems and protocols. It supports multiple transfer methods, which makes it easier to work with both internal applications and external partners. I also find the alerting capabilities useful, as they help quickly identify failed transfers or issues without needing constant manual monitoring.

It has helped in improving efficiency by reducing manual effort and providing better visibility into transfer activities through centralized monitoring and logging. For organizations looking for a secure and scalable managed file transfer solution, it is definitely worth considering.

GoAnywhere MFT has been a reliable platform for secure and automated file transfer. It has improved operational efficiency and provides good visibility into the file transfer activities.

One area where GoAnywhere MFT could be improved is the user interface, as it can feel slightly complex for new users and may require time to become fully familiar with all features. There is also room for improvement in simplifying certain configurations and making troubleshooting more intuitive. Better reporting customization and a more modern dashboard experience would also be helpful for monitoring transfers and operational visibility. Overall, the platform is strong, but improvements in usability and ease of management would enhance the experience further.

A small improvement that could make daily work easier is having a more simplified and intuitive troubleshooting experience, especially when identifying the root cause of failed transfers. More detailed built-in reporting and easier dashboard customization would also help with monitoring and operational visibility. While the platform is feature-rich, making the interface more streamlined would improve the overall experience.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for a duration ranging from six months to one year.

Since GoAnywhere MFT is not primarily an AI-focused platform, our interaction with AI-specific capabilities has been limited. However, from a governance and security perspective, the platform appears strong in areas such as secure file transfer, access control, encryption, auditing, and centralized logging. These features help maintain visibility and control over file movements, which is important from a security and compliance standpoint.

Since GoAnywhere MFT is not heavily focused on AI-driven functionality in our day-to-day use, we have not relied much on AI-specific outputs. From our experience, the platform has been reliable in terms of operational consistency. We have not noticed any major concerns regarding reliability in the areas we actively use.

GoAnywhere MFT has been reasonably scalable as our needs have grown. We have been able to add new file transfer workflows and integration needs without major issues. The platform's support for automation and multiple protocols makes it easier to accommodate new requirements. That said, proper planning around infrastructure and configurations is important to ensure smooth scaling as the environment expands.

I have had limited interaction with customer support, but overall the experience has been satisfactory. In cases involving technical queries or troubleshooting, the support team was generally responsive and helpful in resolving issues. The documentation and available resources have also been useful for understanding the platform and troubleshooting common problems.

Prior to GoAnywhere MFT, some file transfer activities were handled through more manual methods and basic secure transfer tools, depending on the requirements. We moved to GoAnywhere MFT mainly to improve automation, centralized monitoring, and security for recurring file transfer processes. The ability to manage transfers from a single platform, automate workflows, and improve visibility into file movement was a key reason for the transition.

My advice would be to clearly understand your file transfer requirements and automation needs before implementation. GoAnywhere MFT works particularly well for organizations that need secure, scheduled, and centralized file transfer across multiple systems or external partners. It is important to spend time on proper planning, workflow design, and security configurations during deployment to get the most value from the platform. I would also recommend starting with a few key use cases first and then expanding gradually as the team becomes more familiar with the platform.

Our company does not have any business relationship with the vendor other than being a customer. We use GoAnywhere MFT as an end-user organization for our managed file transfer requirements and are not a partner, reseller, or service provider for the product.

While we do not collect numbers very strictly, I have noticed a clear reduction in manual effort for recurring file transfer tasks. Earlier, some file movement required manual monitoring or intervention, but after automation through GoAnywhere MFT, those processes became more streamlined and reliable. We have also seen faster issue identification due to centralized logging and alerts, which helps reduce troubleshooting time and operational delays. Overall, it has improved efficiency and reduced dependency on manual processes.

We considered a few file transfer solutions during the selection process, including some traditional SFTP-based approaches and enterprise MFT platforms. The main focus was on security, automation, centralized monitoring, and ease of managing recurring file transfer workflows. GoAnywhere MFT stood out because of its automation capabilities and centralized visibility, which aligned better with our operational requirements.

I found the interview process straightforward and well-structured. The questions covered both technical and practical aspects of using the product, which helped provide a balanced perspective. One suggestion for the future would be to allow slightly more flexibility for sharing real-world implementation examples or use cases in more detail, as that can provide additional context for reviewers. My overall review rating for GoAnywhere MFT is 8 out of 10.

GoAnywhere MFT use cases include transferring files, using a gateway, and implementing anti-malware scanning to avoid malicious files. We are also engaged in security compliance-related work and using automation features.

In my project, I am utilizing template-based scenarios to reuse templates for standard patterns in internal and external file transfers. I also use cloud-based connectors and other features like AWS and Azure agents to operate on-premises. Those features are quite helpful.

I use GoAnywhere MFT connectors for internal connectivity within the organization and during SFTP connections with third parties, employing SFTP Gate and SFTP Put Task, which are very easy to use through a drag-and-drop mechanism. GoAnywhere MFT's connectors are very important to us.

The range of connectors that GoAnywhere MFT provides out of the box is very wide. In my current business scenario, I utilize it for SharePoint, which is very useful. I also use the OAuth connector to connect before the actual SharePoint site.

I am using GoAnywhere MFT Secure Forms, which are quite useful for changing various kinds of passwords and credentials. I can use GoAnywhere MFT Secure Forms for bank-related transactions, enabling users to change resource client credentials such as access key, SAS token, or Entra ID client secret details. If users are aware of existing credentials, they can directly manage credential changes without needing middleman interference.

Some business units are using GoAnywhere MFT's GoFast feature to transfer files quickly, leveraging its inbuilt protocol for faster transfers as needed.

The best features in GoAnywhere MFT from my perspective include its user browser-based interface and good UI to monitor the latest logs, audit logs for HTTPS, and SFTP services.

GoAnywhere MFT has saved us time in securely connecting with necessary third parties, maintaining security during transport at rest or in transit, for which there are no complaints from the compliance team.

I utilize multiple automations and processes within the organization that run on different platforms, employing various API tools like WSO2 and ServiceNow, integrating thoroughly and reusing resources as much as possible.

I would like to see improvements in the monitor-related functionalities of GoAnywhere MFT, especially when network outages occur, as I often need to manually restart agent services due to stalled connections that do not automatically pick up files.

I would like to see enhancements related to end-to-end integration in GoAnywhere MFT. Currently, transactionality is not being handled effectively; I can only transfer from one point to another, and some businesses request reverting changes if a particular transaction does not commit.

I have been working with GoAnywhere MFT since the last five years.

From a stability perspective, I would rate GoAnywhere MFT about a nine out of ten.

Scalability is around 7.5 for GoAnywhere MFT because there are restrictions based on file sizes for transfers, necessitating chunking to move complete files, which limits its effectiveness in data migration.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate GoAnywhere MFT's customer service and technical support around an eight, as I have not had many chances to interact directly with the Fortra team due to regional constraints, and sometimes responses during production issues are a bit delayed.

I used IBM MqMFT and TIBCO MFT prior to adopting GoAnywhere MFT.

The setup process for GoAnywhere MFT is straightforward, as I had training that made installation easy, although I occasionally needed to re-architect some framework flows for mainframe services, which took time.

GoAnywhere provided one engineer to assist with setup when I experienced issues, especially since I was using it with a financial client in the insurance sector.

I find GoAnywhere MFT to be a cost-effective tool for mid-sized organizations, with no issues in that regard.

Pricing for GoAnywhere MFT seems to have changed. Earlier, it was more accessible for mid-sized organizations, but I understand that with the extensive features provided, it has become the number one MFT tool.

GoAnywhere MFT is open-source and offers an easy-to-use, browser-based interface, with quick installation for other organizations through GoAnywhere MFT Agent installables. However, in contrast to IBM, which excels in security perspectives related to clustering, GoAnywhere MFT might lack some features needed for bank transactions, like active-active load balancing.

I would be interested in a solution that centralizes all of my products and processes.

A piece of advice I would share is to avoid creating a single point of failure when building or designing any solution. The design structure should ensure that if one primary server fails, the system should seamlessly switch to a secondary server, maintaining high availability at about 99.99%.

My overall rating for this product is nine out of ten.

My use cases for GoAnywhere MFT include file transfers, file downloading using REST API, and in some cases, file processing.

The best features of GoAnywhere MFT are file transfer and calling the REST API to get responses back and process those responses again. I appreciate the business logic we can use inside the workflow, which is feasible to implement.

I have used various connectors including SFTP, HTTPS, SharePoint, AWS S3 bucket, AS2, and other protocols for GoAnywhere MFT. Most connectors for GoAnywhere MFT are provided, and there is a cloud connector in the latest version, which allows connections with SharePoint or other cloud providers, such as Azure Blob or Azure Storage. These connectors are very important to operations because new connections are available. Connectivity to the cloud is crucial, and without connectors, we cannot perform file transfers.

The GoFast feature has accelerated file transfer to an optimum level and improved performance. It saves us about 15%.

They can add more functionalities in their workflow. For example, they could add improved functionalities for B2B integration similar to other competitors which are providing mapping. I want better mapping tools and file mapping for file conversion functionality.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for five years.

I experience occasional downtime and some glitches. I would rate the stability of GoAnywhere MFT a seven out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of GoAnywhere MFT a nine out of ten.

In my organization, around five people have hands-on experience with this solution. Our client is a large global organization.

I would rate the technical support for GoAnywhere MFT an eight out of ten.

Positive

I have worked with TIBCO MFT before using GoAnywhere MFT.

GoAnywhere MFT is good compared to other MFT tools. It's easy to learn, very flexible and secure, while supporting many protocols and features that other MFT tools don't offer.

The deployment is very easy, but there should be some automation for deployment.

The initial installation or deployment takes approximately two to three days, depending on the number of clusters, nodes we are using, and gateways. In total, we can complete the setup within a week.

The solution requires regular maintenance, and upgrading the product is straightforward.

It saves us about 15% in efficiency.

It's a cost-effective solution.

I am using GoAnywhere Agent, which is a separate instance of GoAnywhere MFT that allows us to integrate remotely. I'm also using the GoFast feature to accelerate data transmission.

I will definitely recommend this product to other users because it's very easy to deploy, develop, and learn. It's also more cost-effective than other products. Learning GoAnywhere MFT takes about four weeks to feel comfortable. 

I would rate GoAnywhere MFT overall a nine out of ten.

We use GoAnywhere MFT for both front-end SFTP and back-end managed file transfer.

We do not make use of the connectors for services like Salesforce, SharePoint Online, Dynamics 365, or any other services. The range of connectors that GoAnywhere MFT provides out of the box includes interesting connectivity to ServiceNow, which, although we don't use at our organization, adds flexibility, highlighting the product's strength in customization and configuration.

We do not use GoAnywhere agents because all of our connections are external organizations, and agents are more suitable for connecting offices within an organization.

We use secure forms for different purposes: one is for archiving data for 7 years for legal purposes, allowing employees to request specific files, and another allows us to handle all of our SFTP user and user-group provisioning through a secure form processing our formatted spreadsheet.

We use the GoFast feature to accelerate data transmission. This acceleration is beneficial as we handle a high volume of data and some fairly large files, sometimes up to 30 gig for an individual file, so having that functionality improves performance.

The best features of GoAnywhere MFT are its powerful customization capabilities that allow us to dictate the process and add in custom processes, which was a limitation with other MFTs we used.

Since implementing GoAnywhere MFT, we have seen scalability improvements, especially since we were using MOVEit MFT prior to that, and it just doesn't have the same scalability, making GoAnywhere a better fit as our company continued to grow.

The areas for improvement with GoAnywhere MFT include a basic SFTP user interface that lacks functionality compared to other MFT SFTP solutions, as well as some administrative features like filtering a page and job log record retention that could be enhanced. Support, UI, and filtering can definitely improve.

I have been using this solution for about 4 years.

The overall deployment of GoAnywhere MFT was pretty complex. It was complex due to the importance of data security in our industry, requiring a lot of infrastructure setup and a learning curve while migrating from the old environment.

The solution requires maintenance from our end, which includes applying patches and updates, as well as testing and validating new versions. Judging stability in terms of downtime, bugs, and glitches, I would rate GoAnywhere MFT as an eight out of ten.

GoAnywhere MFT meets our business needs in scalability, answering our capacity requirements. I would rate the scalability of GoAnywhere MFT as a ten.

When it comes to technical support, I would give it a rating of three. The technical support is slow to respond and to take action when issues arise, along with difficult-to-use user forums which complicate finding solutions on our own.

Neutral

We were using MOVEit MFT prior to implementing GoAnywhere MFT. We have seen scalability improvements since the switch, as MOVEit MFT didn't have the same scalability, making GoAnywhere MFT a better fit as our company continued to grow.

The initial deployment took several months.

From our end, six people were involved in the deployment. Currently, ten users work with GoAnywhere MFT.

I have seen a return on investment from GoAnywhere MFT, not just financially, but also in saved time, resources, and efficiencies. In terms of percentage, for the amount of volume we are doing with GoAnywhere MFT and its functionality, I would estimate it has provided about a 50% return in four years.

Regarding the pricing of GoAnywhere MFT, they recently changed their pricing model, which wasn't as favorable, now moving to an annual renewal subscription model, but compared to other MFTs, I still find it reasonable. If I were to rate GoAnywhere MFT on a scale from 1 to 10, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would say it falls around a six.

When comparing GoAnywhere MFT with other MFT products, I think it's a good fit for an enterprise-level organization, though it may be more complex than needed for small-medium businesses.

Our relationship with Fortra is that we are customers. GoAnywhere MFT has not saved us significant time in securely connecting with third parties; it compares well with other MFTs, though it hasn't been difficult to use. I would recommend GoAnywhere MFT to other users if they need something very scalable and flexible. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 7.

I use GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfers between internal teams such as vendors. As my domain is in banking-related services, I use it for banking systems and cloud platforms.

GoAnywhere MFT's secure forms functionality was used for scenarios where external users or vendors needed to upload sensitive documents securely instead of sharing credentials or giving direct server access. Users could simplify uploads through a secure form, and the workflow would automatically process and transfer those files internally, making the process both secure and user-friendly.

I do use connectors in GoAnywhere MFT. I work with different types of connectors including integration, and I personally handle integration around SFTP servers, databases, REST APIs, and shared folders.

Out-of-the-box, I find the range of connectors provided by GoAnywhere MFT to be effective. For SAP-related integrations, we mostly check and secure between SAP-generated systems and downstream applications using automated workflows, which are related to out-of-the-box features.

I use GoAnywhere agents. The agent is useful in some restricted environments where direct service exposure is not allowed. The benefit is that the agent helps me execute a job securely within the internal network while being centrally controlled from the main MFT server, thus helping maintain security as well as operational flexibility.

I do use the GoFast feature in GoAnywhere MFT to accelerate data. It is especially useful for larger file transfers; the traditional SFTP server works fine for smaller files, but when the file size becomes huge or network latency increases, GoFast improves transfer speed significantly. It helps in reducing transfer time for bulk data movement and improves the overall experience.

For me, the best feature of GoAnywhere MFT is definitely the automation for workflow design. It makes a complex file transfer process very easy to build and manage without needing to make custom scripting.

The centralized dashboard feature is great because from one place I can monitor transfers, failures, alerts, logs, and audit trails.

The secure forms have simplified my day-to-day operations by streamlining the upload of files and the workflow, which previously required manual intervention and needed to be sorted out, saving me time. The use of secure forms in GoAnywhere MFT saves me around one to two hours.

I think GoAnywhere MFT is already strong from the stability and security standpoint, but it can improve more in UI modernization and advanced analytics. Features including smart monitoring and AI-based failure prediction could be improved.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for around one year.

I rate the technical support of GoAnywhere MFT as eight out of ten.

The deployment of GoAnywhere MFT is easy. It takes around seven to eight hours to deploy GoAnywhere MFT.

I have seen around nine out of ten return on investment with GoAnywhere MFT.

From my perspective, the pricing of GoAnywhere MFT is cost-efficient.

Compared to products including IBM Sterling, I find GoAnywhere MFT much easier to learn and manage. While IBM Sterling is very powerful for a large enterprise B2B ecosystem, it can become complex and heavy to maintain. GoAnywhere MFT feels more flexible and user-friendly for day-to-day operations and workflow automation.

I will definitely recommend GoAnywhere MFT to others looking to implement the solution from the perspective of stability, reliability, and the time usually spent manually transferring data. GoAnywhere MFT is less time-consuming, and the automations and scripting part is very easy to maintain, so I would recommend it to other vendors and customers. I rate this product nine out of ten.

To secure files in an encryption mode outside of the organization between different clients, wherever encryption needs to be enabled, is my main use case for GoAnywhere MFT. Whenever we want to share confidential files with clients so that no one can have unauthorized access to the files, we have used GoAnywhere MFT for this purpose, and also where encryption needs to be enabled.

A unique situation is that the file size does not matter when we transfer files with GoAnywhere MFT. Some certain products have size limitations, but GoAnywhere MFT does not have that option. The file size is unlimited and can be shared.

Apart from the shared mentioned users, with GoAnywhere MFT, no other user will be able to access the files as they are encrypted. GoAnywhere MFT provides the best encryption mode in sharing files, which stands out for me compared to other solutions I have seen.

We were facing issues with sharing documents or files outside of the organization, and we were uncertain whether the user is a trusted user or not. GoAnywhere MFT provides an authentication way, ensuring that only verified users can be shared the documents. That is a great positive impact created by GoAnywhere MFT.

Time has been saved. GoAnywhere MFT has saved us a lot of time. Instead of making files into bit size and sharing them over different platforms, GoAnywhere MFT has an option to send files in a bulk mode. As the file size does not matter, we can share any amount of file size.

Whenever we want to share files with people outside of the organization, once the users are verified, they do not need to be verified again and again. This saves us time in sharing files, allowing them to share files unlimited times. Additionally, the support that needs to be provided to this product is very minimal, which are the positive relevant metrics.

GoAnywhere MFT can be synchronized with artificial intelligence so that it can briefly explain what kind of document it is. That feature could be enabled.

It has been two years since I have been using GoAnywhere MFT.

GoAnywhere MFT is very stable.

GoAnywhere MFT can be scalable.

The customer support is quite good. Whenever we face issues with the product, the customer support does not take much time in resolving it, providing us with the resolution or a defect fix before the SLA expires.

Negative

We have previously used IBM Files for sharing files outside of the organization, but it does not have a lot of features that GoAnywhere MFT has, so we have migrated to GoAnywhere MFT.

Though I was not involved in the pricing and license cost, it is fairly industry standard.

We have evaluated many products in the industry, and though I cannot name them specifically, we had a list of five to six products that were reviewed and chose one that could generate us value, which is how we got to know GoAnywhere MFT.

GoAnywhere MFT is a good choice for any customer who wants to share files confidentially in an encryption mode. GoAnywhere MFT is one of the top products to be considered among the top peers. I gave this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

It provides a central space for managing all file transfer activities. We seamlessly integrate it with our other software that we use, which ensures the security and efficiency of data movement. 

In my role as a customer care manager, we deal with many customers, so sometimes we request sensitive documents. Instead of using email, which is not as protected as GoAnywhere MFT, we have set up a portal where they can share the document. As a manager, I have to direct a specific team to deal with that document, which prevents the leakage of sensitive customer information.

Handling file transfers is efficient and accurate, which enhances our business processes by minimizing human error and improving accuracy, ultimately reducing costs. Additionally, it provides a significant level of automation, allowing us to manage numerous tasks automatically. Without this automation in place, we would need to handle these tasks manually, which increases the risk of errors.

Moreover, this automation saves us time, enabling us to concentrate on other important tasks. For example, in my department, where I manage numerous customers, eliminating the need for manual task execution allows us to focus more effectively on customer support. It has saved us about 80% of time.

It facilitates better collaboration by ensuring that files are shared securely and efficiently among our team members, especially when dealing with large files and folder transfers. There is always seamless workflow automation across all departments.

The automation capabilities are amazing. They help to reduce manual transfer tasks and handle the daily repetitive tasks that we do. It also ensures overall efficiency.

The solution offers file encryption, which greatly keeps the data safe whether in transit or at rest. The level of customization that the tool offers is unmatched. 

Everything works fine, but I feel that the user interface can be improved, especially the layout. They can make the dashboards more customizable. Other than that, I don't have anything. The automations are amazing, and the other features flow effortlessly.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for almost five years, and it has been working very well so far.

I would rate the stability of the solution as nine out of ten. It has robust stability because we have never faced any downtime. Even if there is a challenge, the customer support offers responsive, faster responses, so we have never faced any major challenges.

The scalability is ten out of ten because it works effectively even with many users, large files, and a lot of data moving at once. For the past five years, the tool has kept growing as our business has grown.

In my team, we have 25 people, while the whole company has 50 employees. Approximately 35 people use the solution.

Their support is good. I would rate their technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

I have never used another tool or alternative.

It was one of the quickest and easiest products to get started with. In under 30 minutes, we were able to log into the product. Within three weeks, we fully understood all the features and were able to fully use them. The ease of use and great support helped significantly in setting up these tools.

There was a team in my organization that purchased the product directly. We had a short training, which was very smooth. We were able to use the tool quickly and fully because the support was amazing.

Maintenance is very low and hassle-free with minimal costs because it is super easy, and they offer training to get started. As they introduce new features, there is always training to understand that feature.

It has been incredibly helpful in everything, especially by enhancing our security as an organization. By using encryption and secure protocols, we are able to protect our clients' data, especially when transferring or when it is at rest.

It has flexible and affordable pricing because of custom quotes. The prices depend on the modules one needs and the volume of data being transferred. Overall, they offer custom and flexible pricing with an annual subscription, where you pay for specific features and functionality required.

I would highly recommend this tool because it offers secure and reliable file exchange and transfer. It keeps sensitive data safe, whether it is in transit or at rest, with robust built-in security features. It is so easy to use. It does not require much maintenance. 

I would rate GoAnywhere MFT a ten out of ten.

I use GoAnywhere MFT primarily as an enterprise managed file transfer solution for securing files between internal systems and external windows in cloud platforms. My use case includes SFTP, file encryption, and related functionalities.

I use Secure Forms in GoAnywhere MFT for external and internal users to upload and download files through a secure web interface without giving them my SFTP credentials.

I also use agents in GoAnywhere MFT for file transfer and encryption purposes. They are used for file transcription, agent execution for file transfer and encryption.

Regarding the agents in GoAnywhere MFT, they are used for remote or internal servers that allow secure connections. The agents are installed on my target servers such as Linux and Windows Server and they make an inbound TLS connection with GoAnywhere MFT.

I want to highlight the user interface as an area for improvement in GoAnywhere MFT, as it is slightly difficult to understand. If this aspect can be improved, it would be a very good product.

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for approximately six months.

GoAnywhere MFT is stable. I have not seen any lags in the product.

Minor upgrades in GoAnywhere MFT require planning and testing. Whenever I perform minor upgrades, they are generally smooth, but the process does require some planning and testing. The upgrades did not introduce instability.

I have not contacted technical support regarding GoAnywhere MFT, but I have technical support available.

The initial deployment of GoAnywhere MFT is good. I just have to install the agents and it is easy.

I am the only person involved in the deployment of GoAnywhere MFT. My tech lead is helping me, but I am the only person managing the implementation.

GoAnywhere MFT pricing is fine for me. I do not have any complaints regarding the pricing because SFTP is the most valuable asset in the organization.

Regarding alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT, I previously used SFTP directly on the server. I have not used any third-party alternative, and this is the first managed file transfer solution I have used.

I have not currently used connectors for Salesforce, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and other services.

When I first started using GoAnywhere MFT, it took around two days to set up everything because SFTP requires all port openings and proper configuration. From my experience, GoAnywhere MFT does not require any maintenance on my end.

My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.
