Great automation and time saver tool
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it can automatically restart failed transmissions at the exact record it left off at instead of forcing a restart of the entire transmission!
What do you dislike about the product?
Only improvement is gact that you can only copy records, not entire files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to automate processes that used to need manual attention for over 4 days per month and they now take hours.

GoAnywhere has been a tremendous platform for our data transfer needs!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike, but would like to see more robust examples of tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
File transfer administration was very difficult utilizing standard FTP clients and scripting. GoAnywhere provided a central platform for easy administration.
GoAnywhere MFT - Best in class File Transfer
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of MFT is how many man hours we save using the automated workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search feature in the Audit log could be improved. It does not always find the correct results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated file exchanges, encryption, DB imports and Exports. As well as job notifications.
Overall experience has been very positive, virtually pain free.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and flexibility, found the interface very straight forward and intuitive, quickly got up to speed.
We were able to very quickly retire several file transfer solutions which were both rigid and plagued with errors.
Being able to tie this into our database server executing jobs, stored procs, pulling and pushing data has been of enormous value.

Stability and reliability in secure file transfers, elimination of manual processes.

Download the free trial, you will not be disappointed.
MFT product is great. I have been using this product for over 9 years with ease. No issue.
What do you like best about the product?
MFT software has various transmission features. In our environment we use FTP, SFTP, Network share and other features. They are easy to use and configure. Files get encrypted and decrypted easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only issue I found is during the upgrade, we have to switch the product from Db2 to durby database because we use MIMIX replication fature and it encounters issue during the upgrade.
If you use wthout replication there are no issues.

Excellent MFT solution
What do you like best about the product?
Enables users to login securely and access their projects for on demand execution.
Excellent support, I haven’t ever had an issue that support could not address.
It just works, create your project, schedule it, and relax knowing that files will be there when your vendor expects them to be.
Extremely robust feature set, can do complex data translations and transfers.
Before GoAnywhere we used a combination of CuteFTP, WINSCP, Bat Files, VBScripts, Perl Scripts, Access Database Macros, and Windows Scheduled Tasks to move, backup and transfer files to vendors. GoAnywere replaced all of theses disparate mechanisms for transferring and uploading files to outside vendors, which made maintenance a nightmare.

One stop for all file transfer needs
What do you like best about the product?
This software allowed us to consolidate many different FTP servers into one location. Being able to move files around to various different servers inside the network for processing, sending large secure files inside the network and providing a quick way to provide FTP sites for employees is priceless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike, just takes time to get to know the way the programing language works for projects. Once you have a few set up, going back for reference makes it easy to create new ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing the many servers inside the company used to transfer files.
great managed file transfer program
What do you like best about the product?
the site is straight forward and no-frills
What do you dislike about the product?
not very dynamic, doesn't seem to have updates
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
transferring and pulling files from ftp sites, automation of file transfers, projects
Exceptional Managed File Transfer System
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best is the web-based access, the ease-of-use and the built-in documentation. The audit logging has replaced our need to manually create log files. We have more flexibility in regards to scheduling and notifications. GoAnywhere MFT has taken the place of many of our previous scripts and scheduled tasks. There are paid for modules which allow access to other features, such as the built-in reporting, which help minimize costs to only the ones necessary for your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The things I like the least are the difficulty in initially using variables within conditional if/else logic. After figuring out how to use them it hasn't been a problem. There are also some definite best-practices which will help with organization and making changes, such as using variables for file and path names and referencing those in later steps. The cost of some of the paid modules, like the built-in reporting, can be a bit high depending on your budget. Make sure to clarify which features you need versus which ones you want!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had scripts and scheduled tasks spread throughout multiple systems with poor documentation. We use another FTP client which has basic scripting capabilities, but is primarily intended for browsing and manual transmission. GoAnywhere has been able to take the place of the most needed transmissions and has drastically reduced the effort involved in building out file transfer automation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a good idea of what features you need to have, such as SFTP, built-in reports, a development system, versus which ones you want. To keep the total costs down some of these features have an additional cost to them.
