Consistent performance and secure daily transfers
What do you like best about the product?
I like GoAnywhere MFT the most for being very reliable for regular file transfers. We literally run it many times a day and it’s always been the same. I also like that recurring timed transfers are possible, and that has been helpful to meet tight vendor deadlines. We’ve also integrated it with our accounting tool such that reports are pushed automatically, and everything is kept on track. Now it’s as good of a part of our daily workflow as any we’ve ever had.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, one downside is that debugging takes so long when a job fails. The error messages tend to be impercise and it can be like playing a side of guessing as to what, exactly, is the issue. On a number of occasions we’ve had small schedule or config mistakes that have led to delays in a department everywhere. That kind of downtime stacks up fast, especially for processing at the end of the month. A clearer indication on what went wrong when something goes wrong would be a lot more useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to GoAnywhere MFT, staff will usually manually send files to partners and vendors. There was plenty of room for human error, missed steps and honestly quite a bit of burnout from all the repetitive work. Now, without someone babysitting that process, those transfers are now possible. This has helped cuts on mistakes, freed up our team from spending brain power on what our software is programmed for. In times like quarterly close, it has been a huge relief.
Reliable transfer system with detailed file history
What do you like best about the product?
GoAnywhere MFT is a very nice tool that takes out the mess when you have to share sensitive files. Finances reports and contracts going back and forward between clients and our intenal teams, and having log history is a big win. It has put an end to confusion as to whether a file has been delivered or not. Everything will flow naturally with it running alongside our document solution. My biggest confidence when dealing with clients is the clean audit trail.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst part is that error messages do not help in figuring out what went wrong, and they are worded in a most annoying manner. We have had transfer failures that did not easily fix because the alert wasn’t easy to trace back to the problem. Indeed, that delay can really throw off our timelines, especially in some ways in the afternoons when traffic is at its worst. Now due to this, we are forced to put up extra internal tracking just to fix it in a faster way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With GoAnywhere MFT, it has become crazy to stay on top of file transfers but we can do it with GoAnywhere MFT. We used to miss deadlines and we no longer emailed files through insecure ways. This has made it more organized for Communication with 3rd parties and Departments. Now our teams use it every day as part of their routine, and it has eliminated the need for emails all day asking whether you have sent it.

Good experience for Go Anywhere MFT
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using GoAnywhere MFT daily for the past four years, and its been a great experience. its really easy to use and doesn't require much maintenance, if you are running it on premises dowtime is minimal. even regular users can figure it out without much guidance because everything is pretty self explanatory. there have beeen very few issues, and whenever something does come up, its usually easy to troubleshoot, the technical support is excellent. integrating it with other systems didn't take much time either, its a reliable and well regarded tool in the managed file transfer space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, progress customer support does not provide the most helpful responses when we run into issues with application. in many cases, we end up having to figure things ourselves, if you are familar with how the program works, its usually not too hard to solve the problems on your own.

Secure and automated file transfer are a big part of my job they are essential to keeping things running smoothly.

Your the only choice for self-managed MFT solution in Kubernetes
What do you like best about the product?
it is written in Java, vendor provides official Docker image, many features (processing files, downloading, uploading, processing file content, anti-virus), fast and stable, many plugins for cloud services (we use Azure Data Lake, Sharepoint and Google Cloud Storage, but there are many others), PCI DSS compliant (encrypted folders), easy handling of the attached DB content (backup, migration, etc.) from the UI, HA capabilities. The product very extended capabilities in configuring templates of workflows which can be easily parametrized and reused to setup many integrations using one re-usable template.
What do you dislike about the product?
Deployment in Azure AKS requires some manual steps (DB setup, licensing) which have to be managed manually (during initial setup), the vendor is working on K8S support and helm charts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed to setup self-managed, cloud native MFT solution in Azure Kubernetes (AKS) thanks to the product. NO other MFT vendor offers a Docker image and mostly other products require Windows OS to install a product. We configured about ~100 integrations and another 200 are in a queue, so the target will be to process over a million of files daily. We use sftp (pull, push), Azure Data Lake, Google cloud storage and Sharepoint as sources and targets of our integration. We setup templates of one file: puller, sender and processor templates which are re-used in all integrations. We do rename, (un)compress files, use trigger files and some of the files contain PCI data.
Secure and automated file transfers for businesses
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things about GoAnywhere MFT is how it secures and automates file transfers so that confidential data is protected as it moves from point to point. It is used by our team to cut down on manual involvement and move files between departments and external partners. I like its scheduling utility, the ability to schedule transfers before time. This has allowed us to keep consistency in file exchanges, so that we are sending and receiving the file when we need to, without having to intervene.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside of GoAnywhere MFT is that error logs aren’t detailed enough when a transfer fails. If anything does not go as expected, the system gives you very little information of what went wrong. It has resulted in situations where certain file exchanges take longer than they should, and troubleshooting takes longer than it should. Additionally, the time slated for configuring new workflow turns out to require somewhat more manual setup than is suggested by the features available. The maintenance has been more time consuming than anticipated due to these factors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With GoAnywhere MFT there is no more time wasting manually securing and verifying file transfers. Previously, encrypting and reviewing each document was too time consuming and prone to mistakes. Everything is encrypted on its own, no extra manual work required, and it figures that data remains protected. This has been a great improvement in handling financial documents and sensitive business records, speeding up the process and at the same time making it more secure and less prone to human error.
