It has greatly exceeded our expectations." — 5.0/5 > **George** | *12 October 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We originally purchased GoAnywhere to give us a more secure FTP server. While our specific need was to offer our business partners and vendors secure data transmission via SFTP, we were very pleased to know that GoAnywhere supports a number of additional secure file transfer protocols, including FTPS, HTTPS, and GoAnywhere Secure Mail (with an optional Outlook plugin). GoAnywhere not only has "service" support, for services like HTTPS, SFTP, etc., it also supports workflow project creation. After our initial implementation of our services, we began to incorporate a number of very flexible advanced workflow projects. These projects utilize a number of GoAnywhere built-in components, including zip/unzip, PGP encryption/decryption, SFTP (GET, PUT, DELETE, LIST, etc.), SQL, email, job control, process loops, and external program calls. There are additional components (like REST and SOAP Web Services) that we have not even begun to use. GoAnywhere is just an all-around fantastic product. > > **Cons**: We are really quite pleased with GoAnywhere's capabilities to solve our business problems. I have had only one minor issue where I have not received resolution (yet). GoAnywhere offers the capability to connect to different types of servers and network shares. I have been able to establish a connection from our production server to a specific Windows Server via a Network Share resource, but attempts to transfer files from the production server to Windows Server via a GoAnywhere project are failing. Support has not been able to replicate the issue. It could be operator error on my part, or it could be that I am trying to do something that is better suited for GoAnywhere Agents. > > It helped us with our PCI compliance and offered us additional flexibility in our data workflows. ----- ### "Stable, versatile and efficient file transfer" — 5.0/5 > **Brett** | *11 October 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It stands out for its ease of use, the short time it takes to set up and its excellent ability to integrate with third-party platforms. It has an efficient centralized administration with an easy-to-use user interface. It is very easy to schedule shipments, with very precise timing. It has demonstrated great potential for ad-hoc file transfer from a user to the system. > > **Cons**: The only thing to consider so far is that more extensive documentation needs to be added to help manage its full potential more quickly. > > Goanywhere MFT has made it possible to integrate in a single platform all file transfers with a high level of security. This is a robust solution to securely and efficiently transfer data and files in our organization. ----- ### "Too complicated for what we need" — 3.0/5 > **alana** | *23 March 2017* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The job logs. > > **Cons**: Too complicated for basic users like myself to understand \& manage when something goes wrong. > > Some of the support people are GREAT, some are not great. The product is so complex that there are a lot of little points where something imperfect can happen re: interaction w/your system, causing a problem which is too complicated for us basic users to fix ourselves, so you end up with no choice but to pay their support people take care of it. Frustrating. Time-consuming. If I had my way we'd look for something simpler that does what we need and not all the extra stuff that we don't need; maybe it would be easier to manage. There are probably people who have made the investment of time \& money to thoroughly learn all the ins and outs of this software and love it. We're not those people. ----- ### "Flexible, stable, easy to use and a great value." — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *12 December 2017* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The stability and ease of use and setup have been lifesavers for us. We have been able to hand off almost all of our MFT tasks to our operations group, rather than taking programming resources for those functions. We also have seen a drastic improvement in the number of transmission errors or dropped connections. We have a third-party monitoring company that is constantly hitting our GoAnywhere site (24x7) with all of the different file transfer protocols. The weekly report that we get from this company is rarely anything but 100% successful with GoAnywhere. Our previous MFT product was consistently in the 90-95% range. Support has been excellent. Upgrades have been seamless, non-events. The price was significantly lower than almost all of the other MFT products we looked at. We couldn't be happier with this product. > > **Cons**: I am honestly scratching my head to come up with what I like least about GoAnywhere. The only thing I can think of is that it might be nice to have some more advanced pre-defined sample scripts included in the installation. There were some good basic samples, but something more complicated might have helped us in the early going. > > Cost and time savings. Greater stability. Customer satisfaction (far fewer errors). ----- ### "Excellent product - Value for Money" — 5.0/5 > **Bhargava** | *21 December 2018* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to create resources (sFTP, FTP, REST, HTTP, FTPs, etc) and test them with out testing the actual scripts. Very easy to use and they have good documentation which is easy to follow. Its very intuitive. Product works as advertised. We were able to centralize all MFT scripts. Encryption/Decryption works excellent, job monitoring and Job Scheduling is easy. Integrates with AD. I find the product to be good value for money and easy to support as well. Does not take much effort to get trained as well. > > **Cons**: After using the product for 6+ years, nothing comes to mind that I did not like about this product. > > We have been able to centralize all our MFT scripts which were scattered in a lot of different servers and applications. When a vendor (Say a bank) changes their SSH keys or some maintenance we would not know until something breaks in one of our systems and had multiple teams supporting them. Some of these are legacy applications and there is no one to support as well. But with GoAnywhere we moved all these scripts (MFT use-cases) and Resources (sFTP, FTP, HTTP(s), REST, etc) configured in one single place and maintenance/support has become easy. Our business teams have seen the value as the effort it takes to orchestrate a use-case is less than a week (1-2 days usually). Great product and very easy to use. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/395179/goanywhere-mft?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/395179/goanywhere-mft) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
