GoAnywhere MFT Reviews

My use case with GoAnywhere MFT differs from organization to organization. In my previous organization, the purpose of using GoAnywhere MFT was multiple—specifically, they were using it for automating user file transfers, which includes securely storing files that had to be protected. The system provides a folder in encrypted format, and the files at rest would also be encrypted, meaning only the authorized personnel can access and download them. In addition to this, there was a secure mail feature in GoAnywhere MFT that allowed transferring files of any size through email.

However, in my current organization, they primarily use it just for file transfers without storing the files.

The biggest improvement I've seen since using GoAnywhere MFT for three to four years is in security; control over our network security is the biggest factor to consider, and the solution automatically identifies and blocks attempts to attack our system. Additionally, the transfer speed is impressive; even if files are in GBs, it doesn't take much time to transfer, increasing our organization's efficiency significantly.

In my opinion, the best feature of GoAnywhere MFT is its user-friendly UI; it's very simple to use compared to other managed file transfer tools such as MOVEit and Axway, which are a bit more complicated.

While we don't use any connectors for services such as Salesforce, SharePoint Online, or MS365, GoAnywhere MFT does have the capability of connecting to these systems either through SFTP, HTTPS protocols, or API-based connections. The way it works here is different; we set up a resource-based connection to connect to various services such as SAP or Salesforce.

The range of connectors that GoAnywhere MFT provides out of the box is quite extensive; it covers everything from legacy tools that support AS2 connections to the latest services such as AWS and Azure Blobs.

I'm very satisfied with the connectivity options available in GoAnywhere MFT; they include everything you can think of, and as long as the system you want to connect to accepts connections, we can connect using AS2, AS4, and other cloud connectors.

In relation to the agents, they are crucial for extending MFT automation to remote systems. I've noticed that in my previous organization, agents were not used as we connected via network shares, which led to occasional connectivity issues. Now, using agents increases the file transfer speed by about 20 to 30%, and they provide a more stable connection compared to legacy network shares.

We are using GoAnywhere MFT primarily for transferring files. These are reports from banks and from our vendors who conduct research for us, such as food counts in stores and other data. We transfer it for our Finance Department and BI team so they can generate additional reports for our management. 

We don't have many projects compared to other customers, however, it amounts to approximately 50 different jobs running during the day.

The product has a lot of benefits. For example, it allows us to automate a lot of processes.

We use GoAnywhere MFT for managed file transfer, secure mail feature, and SFTP. It serves as our SFTP system.

We utilize the GoAnywhere Agent, which allows us to connect internally to our network. It functions similarly to a VPN tunnel. With the cloud version, there is minimal maintenance involved, including no need to worry about security certificate updates.

Overall, it's been a good product for us, and I'm very happy with the support. There is also the ease of administration. You don't have to be a coding expert or anything like that to be able to create complex managed file transfer jobs.

I use GoAnywhere MFT to simplify and automate the file transfer process.

GoAnywhere MFT streamlines, automates, and simplifies the secure file transfer process, helping to reduce the manual efforts and repetitive tasks of file transfer, which tends to be cost-effective and time-saving.

GoAnywhere MFT always keeps me in compliance with data security requirements, such as global data protection regulations (GDPR). 

Some of the connectors that I have used or integrated GoAnywhere MFT with include Box, Microsoft SharePoint, and Google Drive. While integrating this product, GoAnywhere MFT simplifies the process of transferring files securely. I am satisfied with the range of out-of-the-box connectors. 

I use the GoFast feature to accelerate data transmission. The GoFast feature helps me speed up the exchange of data and improves the process of exchanging data.

I use GoAnywhere MFT mainly to manage file transfers and to move data around the business. We have various teams and we use it to move data around. 

We use it for encryption, we use it to send bank files to the bank through an encrypted channel, we use it to send data to the DMV, and we use it to send data to law firms. 

We grant access to law firms to download their data whenever they need it, and basically, we use it to share information across various networks.

Previously, data transfers used to be manual, where somebody grabbed a file, encrypted it, and shared it. Now we create a project, tell it where the files are located, where they need to go, what the file name should be, and we schedule that on our third-party application called IBM Tivoli, which takes care of the process. That's pretty neat.

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.

We primarily use GoAnywhere MFT to facilitate secure file transfers via SFTP and HTTP protocols. Our most important usecase is for the files uploaded for any support cases created by customer. Customers can upload/download files for their respective cases either via SFTP or HTTP. Project workflows has been great to buid automation for this usecase. We have an integration of GoAnywhere MFT internally with Oracle Service Cloud and the automation plays a vital role for to and from communication between these systems.

GoAnywhere MFT has significantly improved our operational efficiency by enabling the automation of complex file transfer tasks through its project workflow feature. These workflows allow us to design, schedule, and execute multi-step processes.As a result, we’ve reduced errors, saved time. Since, the project workflows can be created with low code no code it significantly simplified the process of building and testing new workflows. As a result our development cycles are shorter and we are able to add more value.

We are using the GoAnywhere MFT platform. As a security analyst working in the managed SOC environment, it helps with a compliance-centric, auditable, and secure approach to manage file transfers. We are enforcing encryption while transferring the data, as we have compliance in place. We handle the MSSP SOC services for our customers, and for that, we used to share the raw logs, payloads, and incident reports via email earlier. Currently, we are utilizing GoAnywhere MFT, and via the same platform, we are using encrypted standards such as PGP, SFTP, and FTPS protocols for file transferring, which is much safer now. We have also integrated it with our QRadar SIEM solution.

We have integrated GoAnywhere MFT with Microsoft 365. We can store these documents over the portal, and our use case is mainly to automate secure, independent data exchange for our customers and monitor the partners' file transfer activities. Some of our customers have the SIEM solution with us, and we integrated with QRadar to monitor their file transfer activities, and we have related some alerts to respond to unauthorized or suspicious file transfer attempts, ensuring our ISO audits and GDPR compliance.

We only have Microsoft integration. We have all the files in the centralized repository. All the actions are being recorded in the portal itself, and the solution is quite handy for us and for our analysts. Whenever a customer requires data in the early stages of an incident, we have that handy within minutes, so all the reports are transferred to the customers within minutes, making the data readily available.

The GoFast feature has been quite handy for us and our analysts. This high-speed data transfer protocol is designed for larger files across internal networks, and it has been working in SharePoint for us. It provides resumable transfers, allowing us to resume any data transfer that gets stuck due to network fluctuations.
