GoAnywhere makes distribution of files and reports easy

  • February 18, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of cloning existing jobs to create new function.

The replacement of paper printing with file or PDF distribution
What do you dislike about the product?
When cloning a job sometimes a blank character is left in the rightmost name , this is not easily spotted because a job will execute correctly from GOANYWHERE but will fail when the batch on the I series does not include the blank.
easily corrected by changing the name, but annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mailing reports & Excel files directly to our external partners

GoAnywhere MFT - Excellent product, simplifies complex file transfers requirement

  • January 29, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to manage and control file transfers in single location.
Excellent auditing, reporting and SLA functionality for file transfers.
MFT Gateway has eliminated requirement to hold customer data in external SFTP servers.
PGP Encryption support.
Wide range of resources available (SFTP, Network, Web Services, Databases, Mail) with flexible workflow tool allows solution to extend beyond file transfers, data loading into downstream databases, integrating with web services, mailboxes.
Excellent community engagement via standard web site, support and insiders channel, one of the best levels of engagement I've seen from software provider, including initial engagement with free trial to support proof of concept and support from technical resources really helped in the selection process.
What do you dislike about the product?
No major dislikes on the product, error reporting can sometimes be a little misleading for example long java error message generated if you if you click on web login after session has expired as opposed to refreshing page. Similar long error stack when resource connection fails, which could be handled or reported on more concisely.

Initially took some time to get familiar with the scripting language and working with dates/timestamps within the workflow tool, examples provided in the integrated documentation, feedback from support and resources available on website though helped get over these issues quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially purchased for a specific project with tight delivery timeline to implement multiple complex file transfer requirements. GoAnywhere MFT was central to the successful delivery of that project, and has become central for managing all new and future requirements related to file transfers.
Any transfer related use case we've needed to solve for the business has being greatly simplified with the GoAnywhere MFT.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that you take advantage of the trial and support provided, as it's a great way to quickly product up and running see the benefits it can deliver via central management of file transfers.

A simplified way to accomplish complex data transfer

  • October 21, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is simple enough to learn quickly, but powerful enough to cover most of our data translation and transfer needs, including web services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is missing some aids, like automatic column numbering and easy renumbering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved complex problems in a short time with multi-platform data integration, that otherwise would have taken long time and programming effort.

Simple and full of useful features

  • August 14, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can use this tool to integrate data from several sources in a seamless way, create your own process logic, and monitor everything with a fully customizable dashboard, without the need to write a single line of code, it’s plenty of features, compatible with almost any data source as databases, plain files, mailboxes, network shares and man6 other
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing we’re missing I’d the ability to connect to web services with oauth2 authentication ,like some stored in Azure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using MFT to automate data transfers between several internal and external services, replacing traditional ftp/sftp servers basen on Windows and Linux, integrate data with our ERP and monitor all those processes

Great product and easy to use.

  • May 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It allows users with limited skills in coding to create a project or product to support the organization's needs. Working with others on tasks and the forums gives more insight to different options
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much for dislikes to using this product aside from no being able to fully and easily manipulate it to be branded to use organizations colors or logos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to send files across secure channels and conducting house cleaning operations. The benefits to doing this is that we know how the steps are being done and the process' course of action to ensure reclamation of space and SLAs are met
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a quick tour with them or find a meeting they may have and watch what can be done

This is an easy to use highly flexible file transfer solution.

  • April 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of the product. I can quickly get our developers up to speed on the product which allows them to be more secure and productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The error logging is good but in some instances i wish the errors were clearer and less vague.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a very decentralized and insecure approach to file transfers before GoAnywhere where each developer created there own method using unsecured FTP and storing user profiles and passwords in files and programs.

Easy to use, room for improvement on UI

  • February 11, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The admin portal is easy to handle MFT needs
What do you dislike about the product?
i am not able to set monitors on a specific day of the month
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy setup and ease on maintenance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the trial version. Hand on experience is better than any recommendation from other users.
The enterprise solution makes life easier but it may over kill for some users which does not need all the features which build in with GoAnywhere MFT.
The performance, options, flexibility and budgets are some major consideration points.
Every user will like to have a powerful tool within their shop. My recommendation is to keep focus on your own requirements, such as daily file transfer volume, your budget, how much time you can save with the tool on board, in house admin capability.
Also think ahead for next step future road map. Is cloud ready/support one of your requirement. Extensive security transfer?
