Automated features have streamlined secure file transfers and improved data submission efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "Using the automated features helps me save time, and Secure Forms enable end-users to fill out and submit information through a secure platform that keeps our data protected."
  • "Initially, the setup was kind of hard for me. I had to take a long time to adapt to the system."

What is our primary use case?

My major use is always file transferring. We're a big IT team, so different IT people use different parts, but my major case is always file transferring. Using the automated features helps me save time.

What is most valuable?

Using the automated features helps me save time. I have tried using the connectors that go with GoAnywhere MFT for Salesforce, SharePoint Online, Dynamics 365, and others. In most cases, I use Google Cloud storage, which is the main case. Secure Forms enable end-users to fill out and submit information through a secure platform that keeps our data protected.

What needs improvement?

I have no major dislikes generally. I just had some challenges when I was starting to use it. Sometimes I could lose files and maybe lose trace of where they had been hidden, but with time, I got used to the system, and it becomes so much easier to use.

Initially, the setup was kind of hard for me. I had to take a long time to adapt to the system.

At my end, I'm okay with everything at the moment. There are no major issues. My major challenges were getting used to it, and once that happened, I have no major challenges now. Every feature is okay currently for me.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started in November and think to get used to the system took me about two and a half months, by January.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a good solution. It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I look at scalability, and I say both are good. Stability and scalability are both good.

How are customer service and support?

I had to contact technical support once at the start when I was getting used to it. The support is good. I got feedback on time, and I was able to resolve whatever I wanted. Though I forgot what I was inquiring about, the response was good, and I resolved my issue.

If I were to put the support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was initially kind of hard for me. It took a long time to adapt to the system.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have not used any alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT. At my new job, I had nothing to deal with this previously, so I just got this as a new thing at my new workplace.

What other advice do I have?

I think about the agents, and they are not bad. I mention that I am using Secure Forms whereby I get the end-users to fill out and submit information through the online secure platform that helps us to keep our data secure with no traces and no leaks. Being online-based, it helps us save a lot of time.

I'm somewhat familiar with pricing. I just have a small clue about it since I'm mostly in the IT department, but what I know is the pricing is fair. Though it is always charged with add-ons, the more features you need, the more add-ons you get. It is fairly priced and not so expensive.

I would give this product a rating of eight out of ten.

Centralized automation has reduced manual file transfers and improves secure data workflows
Pros and Cons
  • "Overall, GoAnywhere MFT has been a reliable and efficient platform for securing file transfer automation, especially in environments where visibility, compliance, and workflow reliability are important."
  • "To improve GoAnywhere MFT, the UI could be more modern and some advanced workflow configurations and troubleshooting steps could be made easier for administrators."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is secure file transfers, workflow automation, and scheduled data exchanges between internal systems and external vendors.

A specific example of how I use GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfers and automations between our internal systems and external vendors is that we automatically transfer encrypted financial and reporting files between our internal servers and external partners on scheduling workflows with alerts for failed or delayed transfers.

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

What is most valuable?

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

The centralized monitoring and audit logging features help me significantly because we can track all of our file transfers, failures, and user activities from one dashboard, which makes troubleshooting and compliance reporting much easier.

The automation builder is also valuable 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.

What needs improvement?

To improve GoAnywhere MFT, the UI could be more modern and some advanced workflow configurations and troubleshooting steps could be made easier for administrators.

Better API integrations and more detailed troubleshooting documentation would definitely help, especially when integrating with newer cloud platforms and third-party systems.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for about three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

GoAnywhere MFT is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

GoAnywhere MFT scales very well for enterprise environments, especially when handling high volumes of automated file transfer across hybrid and multi-system environments. The clustering and load balancing capabilities help significantly as transfer volumes grow. Although large deployments may still require some performance tuning and infrastructure planning.

Scalability is good overall, but performance tuning and monitoring could be streamlined more effectively in very large environments with high transfer volumes.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support is excellent and very helpful.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously relied on custom scripts and basic FTP/SFTP tools, but we switched to GoAnywhere MFT for better automation, centralized management, auditing, and more secure file transfer workflows.

How was the initial setup?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for GoAnywhere MFT shows that the pricing and licensing are definitely more enterprise-oriented, but the automation, security features, and centralized management justify the cost in environments with significant file transfer activity. Initial setup took some planning, but once deployed it is stable and manageable.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment mainly through the automation that reduces manual interventions. Tasks that previously required constant monitoring are now mostly unattended, which saves several hours each week for operations teams. We have also seen fewer transfer-related issues because everything is centralized and easy to track.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing GoAnywhere MFT, we evaluated a few other MFT solutions including Progress MOVEit, Globalscape EFT, IBM Sterling, and Axway before selecting GoAnywhere MFT.

What other advice do I have?

The advice I would give to others looking into GoAnywhere MFT is to take time to properly design your workflow, security policies, and integration early on because GoAnywhere MFT delivers the most value when automation and monitoring are well-planned from the start.

Overall, GoAnywhere MFT has been a reliable and efficient platform for securing file transfer automation, especially in environments where visibility, compliance, and workflow reliability are important. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Automates secure file transfers and workflows while centralizing administration and integrating with multiple systems
Pros and Cons
  • "GoAnywhere MFT is easier and more stable than IBM Sterling, and it is also more enterprise-friendly."
  • "One of the main important improvements I need for GoAnywhere MFT is a better real-time monitoring dashboard and an improved user interface."

What is our primary use case?

I have used GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfer automation. The primary use for this product is scheduling automated file transfers, managing SFTP and FTPS connections, and creating workflows for system-to-system file movement, as well as secure data exchange between internal and external systems.

What is most valuable?

The most impressive feature of GoAnywhere MFT is the strong security options. It supports encryption, secure protocols, auditing, and key management. Additionally, the centralized administration is excellent, with everything managed from one dashboard. The product is also stable for large file transfers. These are the best features I have experienced over six months.

GoAnywhere MFT agent is useful for automating tasks on remote servers without exposing them publicly. This is the main agent use I am utilizing in GoAnywhere MFT.

Secure Forms features in GoAnywhere MFT allow safe data collection directly from users with automatic routing and encryption. This is the Secure Forms feature I am currently using in my project.

GoFast noticeably improves transfer speed for large files in GoAnywhere MFT by accelerating file transfers in distributed environments.

GoAnywhere MFT supports connectors for multiple systems, including SAP, database, cloud storage, and REST APIs. I am specifically using the SAP integration through SAP connectors and APIs.

What needs improvement?

One of the main important improvements I need for GoAnywhere MFT is a better real-time monitoring dashboard and an improved user interface. I think a more modern and user-friendly interface would be beneficial, as multiple competing products have modern and user-friendly interfaces. Additionally, better debugging tools and clearer error logs would be helpful.

When I started using GoAnywhere MFT, I experienced complexities for projects that required experience to create them. The error logs can be hard to understand at first sight. However, with continued use of this product, I became more familiar and comfortable with it.

I believe GoAnywhere MFT could be more stable and enterprise-friendly overall. It is a strong and reliable solution for secure file transfers and workflow automation, offering excellent security features and dependable performance. The main areas of improvement are the user interface and debugging simplicity.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for more than six months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

GoAnywhere MFT supports active-active clustering, meaning more than one MFT instance can run in parallel. For load balancing, it can be more scalable for companies distributed across their cluster nodes, improving throughput. If one node fails, the system remains scalable. GoAnywhere MFT can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud such as AWS or Azure, or in any hybrid model. This flexibility makes it suitable for both large-scale and small-scale companies depending on the requirements of the company.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price range for GoAnywhere MFT is around four to five thousand dollars annually. Since it is a large-scale product, the price can be adjustable within this range.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have used IBM Sterling as an alternative to GoAnywhere MFT. GoAnywhere MFT is easier and more stable than IBM Sterling, and it is also more enterprise-friendly. It is less expensive than Cleo but has fewer advanced APIs. Overall, it offers better automation than many basic SFTP servers and provides a good balance of security, automation, and integration at an enterprise level.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Automating secure workflows has been smooth but the interface needs an update
Pros and Cons
  • "What I appreciate most about GoAnywhere MFT is the SFTP file transfer capability, which is a secure file transfer protocol; it also includes a file encryption module, scheduling, and email notification features, which are very useful."
  • "They advertise 24/7 support and response within 24 hours, but they are taking at least two days to reply."

What is our primary use case?

My use cases for GoAnywhere MFT are automating and securing file transfer workflows.

What is most valuable?

What I appreciate most about GoAnywhere MFT is the SFTP file transfer capability, which is a secure file transfer protocol. It also includes a file encryption module, scheduling, and email notification features, which are very useful. GoAnywhere MFT does not require any maintenance on my end; it is all being taken care of by the developers.

What needs improvement?

One area where they could improve GoAnywhere MFT is the UI, as it feels outdated.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for about six to twelve months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not seen any instability or issues with stability in GoAnywhere MFT, but I mentioned that the UI feels outdated.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted their customer support, but they are quite busy and reply in approximately three to four days. The quality of their support for GoAnywhere MFT was not as they mentioned on their website; it was supposed to be 24/7, but they are taking two to three days to reply to my emails. I messaged them three to four times, but they are consistently late in responding.

When they did answer, the quality of their responses was good, but the response time was not satisfactory. They advertise 24/7 support and response within 24 hours, but they are taking at least two days to reply.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I switched from Salesforce Workflow to GoAnywhere MFT.

How was the initial setup?

When I first started using GoAnywhere MFT, it was very easy. I watched a video tutorial on YouTube and it took me approximately 23 minutes to fully understand how to use GoAnywhere MFT. After that, I did not need any additional explanation.

What other advice do I have?

We are not using the included connectors in GoAnywhere MFT right now; I mentioned that we were using them before, but I am not using them currently. I do use the Agents in GoAnywhere MFT. The review which I wrote on G2 about this was based on my usage of this software approximately three to four months prior, but I am not using it currently.

I have never used features in GoAnywhere MFT such as Secure Forms, GoFast, or Agents; I only use the SFTP transfer protocol. Leaving the support aside, I would rate GoAnywhere MFT 7 out of 10. If I were to rate only the support, I would give them a 5 out of 10.

Automated processes significantly improve the efficiency of file transfers across different time zones
Pros and Cons
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "This product has numerous benefits as it has automated many processes that we previously had to do manually every day."
  • "Without knowledge, it can be challenging to manage as it uses XML files for configurations and has tricky variables. While it's not particularly intuitive for new users, it becomes easy once mastered."
  • "Writing variables is sometimes difficult. It would be helpful if they provided additional basic training for administrators who manage this product."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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

What is most valuable?

This product has numerous benefits as it has automated many processes that we previously had to do manually every day. Some vendors generate reports during nighttime, which is helpful when the BI team works in different time zones - they are in the Eastern Time Zone while we are in the Mountain Time Zone in Colorado. The management is in Colorado as well, so when they start working, they already have reports at the beginning of their workday. There are many benefits, particularly in terms of automated processes, which helps significantly.

What needs improvement?

The product itself is very good, however, it requires additional knowledge for setup. Writing variables is sometimes difficult. It would be helpful if they provided additional basic training for administrators who manage this product. They have paid training available. That said, as someone who inherited this product and handles tickets when jobs fail, I had to figure out for myself how the product works and how to troubleshoot it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started in November 2021 and began using GoAnywhere MFT in January 2022, inheriting it from my predecessors and colleagues who were taking care of the product for our company.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have one issue that occurs when someone is signed into the console. The session times out and disconnects, and when trying to sign in again, it doesn't allow access unless opened in incognito mode browser or from a different browser. The only solution found is to sign out when not needing to be connected to the console. Otherwise, you will get a 500 error. Other than that, it works very well, especially when kept up to date. My predecessor never updated it, but once we keep it updated, it never causes issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's quite easy to scale. When adding new jobs, I typically find similar projects, copy them, edit the XML file, and apply the changes. It's straightforward unless our Finance or BI team needs something specific, which might take a couple of days to figure out as I combine this duty with other tasks.

How are customer service and support?

Over three years of using the solution, we contacted technical support three or four times maximum. 

The most recent instance was after migration when there was an issue with the public IP. After changing the network interface, the license broke. Support deactivated the old license, activated the new one, and fixed the issue in about two to three hours. The first engineer was inexperienced and had to consult someone else, who resolved it quickly. Another instance was when the certificate expired, and we couldn't sign into the console because only HTTPS was enabled.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have not used any alternatives to GoAnywhere MFT.

How was the initial setup?

The solution was already deployed when I joined, but I handled the migration to the new server. I built the new server and followed guidance from the GoAnywhere engineer, who watched and directed my actions while I shared my desktop.

Regarding maintenance, it only requires Windows updates for the server, which is automated by SCCM. We monitor for new versions of GoAnywhere MFT and install them within a week or two after release, depending on whether it's a critical update or if security issues were found. We follow a change control process through the ticketing system, and stakeholders must be informed of any changes. It's easy to maintain this product with monthly Windows updates and occasional GoAnywhere MFT updates.

What about the implementation team?

We paid $3,500 for professional services, which covered two meetings plus a couple of hours with the engineer.

What was our ROI?

It's difficult to compare costs as I don't know how much competitors charge for their products. In my career, I haven't used anything except GoAnywhere MFT. However, it saves considerable time, and I would say the investment pays off.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is reasonable. We recently considered moving GoAnywhere MFT from on-premises to their Cloud solution, however, it proved too expensive. We decided to keep it on-premises and migrate the product to a newer version of Windows Server, from 2016 to 2022. 

What other advice do I have?

We don't use connectors. We use SAP as our ERP system and don't have any CRM since we are primarily a retail company working with customers who come to stores to buy jewelry. We don't use agents, secure forms, or the GoFast feature. Our setup is simple and basic.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate GoAnywhere MFT a nine overall. Without knowledge, it can be challenging to manage as it uses XML files for configurations and has tricky variables. While it's not particularly intuitive for new users, it becomes easy once mastered.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Secure payroll transfers have improved auditing and now protect sensitive financial exchanges
Pros and Cons
  • "GoAnywhere MFT is very user-friendly and users can access logins and find issues as soon as possible while maintaining secure file transmissions."
  • "I think we are in the AI era and I believe we could add AI to GoAnywhere MFT where I could troubleshoot small errors without any human interaction."

What is our primary use case?

Managing file transfers from external partners to internal systems is my main use case for GoAnywhere MFT. I perform inbound and outbound operations using GoAnywhere MFT where I can exchange file transfer data from external clients to our internal tools where we exchange payroll data and everything related to financial data.

The main use case I use GoAnywhere MFT for is financial data transfer from our organization to external organizations, payroll data, and file transfers.

What is most valuable?

GoAnywhere MFT offers seamless file transmission where I can secure the files and perform auditing with end-to-end logs. The logging makes troubleshooting easier. For example, if I am facing any issues connecting to an external partner where I am performing inbound and outbound operations, I can check my logs and fix the issues as soon as possible.

GoAnywhere MFT supports multiple protocols such as SFTP, AS2, FTP to S3, and many more protocols. GoAnywhere MFT has impacted my organization significantly. My client is a financial background client where they have a bunch of financial data exchanging from internal systems to external systems, including financial data, financial transactions, and financial payroll. GoAnywhere MFT is a key pillar for us.

GoAnywhere MFT helps us automate those flows and provides all the logs where I can fix issues on time and I feel more comfortable with file transmissions.

What needs improvement?

GoAnywhere MFT is working as expected. I think we are in the AI era and I believe we could add AI to GoAnywhere MFT where I could troubleshoot small errors without any human interaction. GoAnywhere MFT will work end-to-end as expected, and I think adding AI would enhance functionality for small-level troubleshooting.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for four and a half years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability with GoAnywhere MFT is good. I can check end-to-end file transfers.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is excellent. Whenever I face any issues, I can reach out to customer support or fill out customer forms and I receive solutions.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used another MFT tool called Axway MFT as well as Sterling. I recently performed a migration from Sterling to GoAnywhere MFT for seamless file transfer transmissions. I saw other MFT tools and comparing them to GoAnywhere MFT, GoAnywhere MFT comes with budget-friendly pricing and good architecture, excellent auditing capabilities, and it is a completely comprehensive MFT suite.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate GoAnywhere MFT nine point five out of ten because I prefer it over other MFT tools I have worked with. GoAnywhere MFT is very user-friendly and users can access logins and find issues as soon as possible while maintaining secure file transmissions.

The governance and security are top-notch where I can send files using encryption and decrypt files using keys. The reliability is top-notch because the flow, auditing, and architecture level are excellent.

My best advice is that if a company operates in the financial background, healthcare sector, or other finance-related fields, I would choose GoAnywhere MFT because it is budget-friendly and offers a full MFT suite where I can check end-to-end file transmissions and all the data. I believe GoAnywhere MFT is the best choice for MFT. My overall review rating for this product is nine point five out of ten.

Automation has reduced manual file work and provides secure, timely transfers with clear alerts
Pros and Cons
  • "GoAnywhere MFT is a very reliable and powerful solution for secure and automated file transfer."

    What is our primary use case?

    The main use case for GoAnywhere MFT is to automate file transfer between the internal application and external partners. This ensures that files are delivered correctly and in a secured manner on a given timeline, which reduces manual efforts in data transfer.

    In real-time, day-to-day activities, daily reports are automatically generated and transferred to another system without requiring manual action. The automation has reduced manual handling of file transfer and ensures that tasks are done consistently, saving time and reducing errors.

    The alert and monitoring features provide real-time visibility of whether any file is stuck or if any issues occur. The alerts help identify quickly when a file transfer fails or is delayed, allowing us to take immediate action and troubleshoot instead of checking logs manually.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features include centralized management capabilities, alert and monitoring features, and automated file transfer. These key features are helping our organization significantly.

    GoAnywhere MFT has improved the reliability and security of file transfers. Manual errors have been reduced, and the activity has been very smooth.

    It has improved operational views and reliability because file transfer is scheduled instead of being handled manually. Data transfer errors, such as wrong files or missed uploads, are handled effectively because transfers are predefined. There are no such issues, and we are getting good monitoring.

    What needs improvement?

    Currently, GoAnywhere MFT is a perfect solution, and no improvement is needed at this time, though the documentation part could be improved.

    I have taken two points off because future improvements may be needed based on features.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for more than ten months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    GoAnywhere MFT is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability-wise, GoAnywhere MFT is a very scalable solution and is able to handle our requirements.

    How are customer service and support?

    The customer support is excellent. They are ready to support at any time with technical matters whenever we encounter technical issues.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We have not switched solutions; we have been using GoAnywhere MFT from the start.

    What was our ROI?

    We have seen a positive return on investment with GoAnywhere MFT. Manual effort has been reduced by around forty to fifty percent, and file transfer errors have decreased, making this solution time-saving and money-saving.

    What other advice do I have?

    GoAnywhere MFT is a very reliable and powerful solution for secure and automated file transfer. It improves efficiency and reduces manual efforts, making it very suitable for organizations handling data, and I would recommend this solution as one of the best available. I gave this review a rating of eight.

    Improved data transfer efficiency with some logging and reconnection improvements needed
    Pros and Cons
    • "This solution has improved my organization significantly."
    • "In terms of scalability, I would rate it around five, as it needs further scaling. The interface built should be more stable, as performance varies across different browsers and deployed versions."

    What is our primary use case?

    Our use case involves using it for data transfer and the files that we are moving in and out for the external vendors that we have for the US-based clients such as Vanguard, IVR, and other things that we have.

    We use the GoAnywhere MFT agent, which helps extend MFT automation to remote systems. External vendors that have automation on their side can keep their files in the agents we install, making transfers simple and hassle-free.

    We used Secure Forms for one project, specifically for UPS file transfers where we created forms and had the integration done for the external vendor for SFTP.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features of GoAnywhere MFT include the data transfer they provided for the Cloud Connectors regarding the SharePoint connector, where previously it would be a single file transfer, but now it includes multi-file transfers in a single operation. With the integration that they developed with the Cloud Connector configuration version introduced in May this year, I was satisfied with the integrations we developed, and that was a good feature I could see.

    Aside from the connectors and integration, we had the agents installed for external vendors, which allows for long-range data transfers and the accommodation of large files for single transfer. This setup is hassle-free and ensures data safety. It also includes some security features such as encryption and decryption, improving security features in this tool.

    This solution has improved my organization significantly. Previously, the integration we had was with SOAP-based connectors and other integration tools that were hard to develop in a couple of months. With the introduction of the tool, the vendors that came in were satisfied with the solutions provided, and file transfers were easy, creating a robust solution. Any simple changes from their side take less time and cost, making it a genuine tool for our clients in our US company.

    Using Secure Forms has positively affected our operations. Previously, we had single SFTP transfers, but introducing Secure Forms allowed us to handle many files in a single operation. When end users fill out and submit requests via web clients, it creates a hassle-free and easy way for us to work.

    What needs improvement?

    Regarding areas for improvement, the logging part needs enhancement. Currently, the logging we have includes custom backend Java default coding for error codes. Improving this to provide more precise insights on how connections close would significantly enhance error management in GoAnywhere MFT.

    Aside from logging, the timeouts we experience on SSH connectors could be improved. During long-range file transfers, such as 1000 files, the connections tend to break. Providing precise reconnection attempts in the connector would help projects work more efficiently.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution in my company for almost 3 1/2 years, utilizing it for MFT, file transfers, and other integrations that we are dealing with.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    The deployment process was minimal work from the DevOps side. If we establish different environments for our working area on this platform, it is manageable. Having a single platform for all environments would complicate things.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I would rate the stability of the solution at around six.

    The minimal bugs we've experienced are manageable, but there have been downtimes we dealt with, especially at the beginning of deployment. Now that downtime has significantly reduced.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    In terms of scalability, I would rate it around five, as it needs further scaling. The interface built should be more stable, as performance varies across different browsers and deployed versions.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    When comparing GoAnywhere MFT with other file management software, I have worked with integration tools such as Mulesoft, Logic Apps, and Thru. Thru is a big competitor of GoAnywhere MFT, but I find it easier to get templates developed with GoAnywhere MFT, and the installation and support from the backend are better compared to other tools. GoAnywhere MFT is a single combined platform for everything.

    How was the initial setup?

    The solution took more or less 4 months to deploy because we already had inbuilt templates, making subsequent deployment much easier.

    Currently, we have around 50,000 web users onboarded. The production users benefit from hassle-free access and security measures such as a 90-day password change or single SSH key usage.

    What was our ROI?

    The return on investment seen since using GoAnywhere MFT is significant. After onboarding, the number of vendors increased considerably compared to the previous setup, reflecting the brilliant turnaround we've achieved.

    Percentage-wise, the ROI is around 15%.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    In terms of pricing, I find it fairly priced.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    I can recommend GoAnywhere MFT to more users, as this tool proves precise compared to other integrations we've seen. However, there are other tools such as Thru, which do offer more robustness. Nevertheless, in terms of stability, GoAnywhere MFT is a solid option.

    What other advice do I have?

    We have done the Cloud Connectors integration, and I worked with the HTTP online tool connector as well. However, I didn't get the chance to work on Salesforce and Dynamics, but I would be interested in exploring those, as they are also good options.

    Apart from GoFast, we used the inbuilt connectors only, so I didn't get a chance to work on GoFast.

    GoAnywhere MFT saves me time when connecting securely with third parties needed for collaboration. For larger projects, typically around six months, it reduces that time to about three months. Smaller integrations can be completed in more than enough time, often in about 15 days.

    Maintenance is good in terms of patching, as GoAnywhere MFT releases patches for each connector and respective gateways they provide. Patching occurs phase-wise, roughly every 3 to 6 months, with a yearly review for thorough maintenance.

    I would be interested in being a reference for the vendor. The vendor can contact me if they have any questions or comments about my review.

    I rate GoAnywhere MFT an eight out of ten.

      • "GoAnywhere MFT could be improved in terms of UI modernization and faster troubleshooting visibility for failed transfers, with more advanced reporting customization being very helpful."

      What is our primary use case?

      I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for around two years for secure file transfer and automation activities.

      I mainly use GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfer and automated data exchange between internal servers and external partners. For example, I use it to automate scheduled file transfers and monitor transfers for success or failures.

      Automating those transfers and monitoring for failures significantly impacts my daily work, as it has reduced manual effort and saved time for the operation team. Automated transfers and failure alerts help us avoid manual monitoring and ensure files are delivered securely and on time.

      The best features GoAnywhere MFT offers include secure file transfer, automation, scheduling, centralized monitoring, detailed audit logs, and support for multiple transfer protocols like SFTP and HTTPS.

      I rely most on the automation and centralized monitoring features in my daily operations. The scheduling and alerting capabilities stand out because they help ensure file transfers run smoothly without constant manual intervention.

      Additionally, I find the audit logging and reporting very useful for troubleshooting and compliance tracking, especially when handling critical file transfers.

      GoAnywhere MFT positively impacts my organization by improving the security and reliability of my file transfer process. It has reduced manual effort, improved monitoring, and helped automate routing transfer activities across teams.
