So much more than just SFTP
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to see quickly what file transfer workflows have completed with their status with a link to detailed log for any run.
What do you dislike about the product?
Folder monitors are really just scheduled polling instead of hook in a listener to the underlying file system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GOA replaced a simple SFTP package that could only kick off a single script for all file upload events. So that script had a huge if-then-elsif block that looked at the user that had sent the file and a function to handle details based on user account. As such, logging for all those accounts was in one huge file that rotated daily. Finding what had been UL'd/DL'd each day was a total pain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unknown to either side, our primary trading partner was undergoing their own eval to migrate from homebrew scripts and chron jobs to run bash scripts for SFTP. They also chose GoAnywhere as "best bang for the buck". Save yourself time and just install the 30-day demo to see how good it is.

If you need a scripting software to assist in automating data transfers, then you should consider purchasing this.
Great Product and Highly Scalable
What do you like best about the product?
I like how scalable it is with projects! You can adopt anything you like in an easy to use interface and you can literally meet any business requirement thrown at you. Auditing makes it really easy to troubleshoot and gives a clear picture of all the activity being done by our clients. It also implements good security features such as IP whitelisting per user account which makes it much more secure and puts our mind at ease especially for sensitive projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Graphical User Interface for the admin could be more modern and flashy but nothing too bad. The client portal has a mich better design
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have one solution for all our file transfer needs. We purchased this product for one project but quickly realised its benefits and started using it on all our projects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know your business requirements and only implement the modules that you need. It is greatly distributed in modules to meet any budget and requirements
MFT made easy and functional!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and intuitive interface lessens the administrative burden and allows rapid on-boarding of new admins. Of the all the MFT products we tested (and it was many), the GoAnywhere interface was by far the most efficient and intuitive. Additionally, the ease of installation, implementation, and administration is an absolute blessing. We have rolled out environments in just a couple of days and had users trained in the administration of the product in less than an hour. It just works!
What do you dislike about the product?
Like any GUI, there are some annoyances. When auditing large logs, the GUI can freeze and it makes auditing through the interface difficult until you can work in some sideways audit to free it up. Additionally, autocompletion of inputs will not fill in correctly (doesn't matter if you use FF or Chrome) and will accept the clicking of the choice as the input rather than allow autocomplete to fill in. Frustrating first world problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced our homegrown hand written file transfer architecture with GoAnywhere MFT. It immediately decreased admin overhead, performed better, and was more resilient than our scripts laying on top of SFTP processes. That alone made it a HUGE win.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an all encompassing EDI/B2B/Do Everything suite with a large budget, little agility, and copious amounts of excess staff you can throw at a problem, then something from Axway or Cleo might be up your alley. If you want something to handle file transfers and actually decreases the administrative overhead burden already sitting on your admin's shoulders, then go with GoAnywhere. It works. Well. VERY Well.
Easy to use intuitive secure File transfer and transfomation
What do you like best about the product?
File transfer audit trail from logs and secure data connections with secure data in motion and at rest
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike - but would sometime like to be able to see which other Administrators are currently logged in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure file transfer on-premise and with Public internet partners. Benefits realized are a centralised Server and Client transfer location that is easy to co-ordinate and control from within the intuitive Admin pages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure you install the latest stable software version and highest possible java JVM - any SMB network share transfers will greatly benefit from this.
Excellent managed file transfer system
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible, excellent scripting language. Great integration with key management.
What do you dislike about the product?
1600 page manual is hard to find what you’re looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure file transfers and workflow scheduling. Easy to add additional partners.
GoAnywhere is extremely feature rich and is capable of management above our expectations
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere is very intuitive and has taken very little cross training for our I.T. team to become proficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish GoAnywhere had a method to set paths based upon the initial project in order to call subsequent projects. This would facilitate development, test, qa, production hierarchies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use GoAnywhere to manage our FTP transfers, ERP reporting via MS-Excel reports, and file uploads/downloads from our ERP.
Solve file transfer needs easily
What do you like best about the product?

Licensing has to be more adaptable.Because sometimes you dont need all the options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
transfer file with secure protocol.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
make the licencing more adaptable to the user needs
Excellent Growth
What do you like best about the product?
Long time user of GoAnywhere, its growth and improvements have been excellent and one of the reasons we continue to use GoAnywhere. It is a great solution when you have several siloed domains that need to share data in a secure manner. Even with external clients, you can control access. This is one of several things you can do, we leverage it for advanced workflows and ftp alternative because of its security. A lot of control is in your hands.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the features I hope they implement would be to allow control on what gets synchronized to the local storage with the godrive feature. Upgrading capabilities should also be streamlined within the app instead of the server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing internal data when all sites have no internetwork connectivity. We can create shares amongst them, we also have been able to create triggers and automatic workflows with data coming in through our ERP system for better functionality and internal process. Centralize FTP and SFTP connections.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good alternative for dropbox or box.com even onedrive.
Extremely versatile and reliable.
What do you like best about the product?
The support for multiple transfer methods and encryption standards, and that it runs on the IBM iSeries. The iSeries is the core platform for all our business systems, but the ability to move data to other applications on other platforms (Windows, AIX/Linux) has made GoAnywhere a critical application in our business processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up some types of communications and security accesses are not intuitive nor covered in enough detail in he user documentation, such as traditional EDI. However, the support people for he GoAnywhere products are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They resolved all our issues in the early days of package usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
EDI communications, XML transfers, SFTP/FTPS transfers, AS2 communications. Managing the various types of data exchanges we have through one package is extremely efficient as well as convenient..
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The GoAnywhere MFT product and the Gateway are worth the investment.
