Highly recommended data transfer and workflow engine.
What do you like best about the product?
Natively support dozens of data transfer protocols, and with advanced workflows has become a single point solution for all data movement. The product remains current, with new features and upgrades published regularly. Additionally, plugins available for purchase support advanced cloud computing. The software is managed via an easily navigable GUI, and workflows are built using a drag and drop interface. The product can easily be clustered to provide load balancing and failover support for mission-critical transfers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the number of upgrades and new features being developed, the wait time for a requested update or a new feature can be quite long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have combined all of our file transfers into a single integrated solution with central administration. Using advanced workflows we can deliver files to multiple backend systems with positive delivery confirmation and a central archive. GoAnywhere MFT has reduced support effort from separate legacy methods by more than 70%.

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact you can move, manipulate files on the fly
What do you dislike about the product?
A change in the visual appeal would be nice after a few upgrades. Hard to tell that you have change versions.

Data transfers with partners.
More Than Just Moving Files
What do you like best about the product?
Well thought out project components that allow for high-level programmability of tasks. From While loops to if statements, the components typically allow you to manipulate the needed data. If not, there's also the native command that can call a custom-built console app as required.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality around rowsets could be improved. Items like Left/Right/Inner/outer joins would be nice, as well as being able to iterate through a rowset and manipulate a specific column in that row.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have implemented MFT to transfer files between multiple environments (hosting, on-prem, cloud); during transfer, translations of inbound files apply to meet the outbound specs. We also use GA MFT as our EDI engine for many of the interfaces we have with our customers and vendors.

Licensing when offline (We dont use internet access) is a pain with the manual activation and deactivation. Thats all i can really pick out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us the project we are working on was to collect logs from remote services and move them into our hosted DC's for reporting and support purposes.
We have had to use a free SFTP service so allow MFT to be able to access these locations and them bring them to a centralised repository.
