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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great product and up to date with technology" — 5.0/5 > **Shoma** | *4 December 2017* | Retail > > **Pros**: GoAnywhere is a great product and its features are up to date with latest technology. I work in an IBM platform and it has been a sine qua non in developing applications that needed communications with external web servers. Also it has all the latest data translation methods updated to be in par with any web service data format requirements. Overall, the product is absolutely helpful. > > **Cons**: Some limitations with available features, like XML formats not allowed to have conditional elements, which I believe will be updated in the later upgrades. ----- ### "Easy to use, does everything I need, and they helped do my first project." — 5.0/5 > **Max** | *20 December 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything is menu driven and easy to setup. No having to know everything about how encrypted communication protocols work. I needed to setup secure SFTP communications with a banking partner and I had never done this before. They helped me set it up and get it working and it was pretty obvious as we went thru the process how much complex configuration was being done by the product. The user interface is intuitive and the menus easy to follow. I also purchased their secure email component because we wanted a way to have vendors give us their banking information in a secure mannor without having to mail that info to us. Again, the product does all the work. I have yet to find anything I wanted to do that GoAnyWhere was not able to do quite easily. > > Allowed us to quickly setup encrypted communications when we had no in-house expertise on doing it. It allowed a major accounting initiative to be done on-time and on-budget and runs completly automated. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/395179/goanywhere-mft?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
