The simplicity of implmentation and learning the product. Creating projects and resources is semi-intuitive, as long as you have a basic understanding of workflows and sudo code. Each page you navigate to has a helpful "?" you can click on to get full details on all options available for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really like the product, but support has been extremely disappointing and I have no reason to think it will get any better . I believe this is primarily due to the product’s growing popularity and an insufficient support team to handle all technical requests. Additionally, since we are on the IBM i system, I feel that much of the IBM i expertise has been lost over time.

Lastly, Fortra has taken advantage to charge unreasonable license fees every time we do a machine upgrade. We were extremely frustrated with the prices they charged us. We were one of their early customers and have been with them a long time. When we got on a call with our account reps, they gave us the attitude of "deal with it". This set the tone going forward. It's clear that Fortra is not for focused on selling a good product, but could care less about quality support or overcharging their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest benefits has been the ability to automate file transfer processes that would otherwise require manual effort and ongoing monitoring. The platform's drag-and-drop interface is key in its ease-of-use and has proven to be instrumental in our ability to quickly and easily create workflows. And from a security standpoint, GoAnywhere provides the controls we need to confidently exchange sensitive information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit tricky sometimes to know exactly what each available action does and how to configure them, however, Fortra's documentation has assisted us with this, as well as their support teams. More examples, however, always come in handy and would definitely be appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about GoAnywhere MFT is its ability to provide secure, reliable, and automated data transfers across our ecosystem. In a business where supply chain coordination, vendor communication, and real-time data exchange are critical, GoAnywhere MFT ensures seamless and compliant file movement. Its automation capabilities have significantly reduced manual effort, minimized errors, and improved overall operational efficiency. Additionally, the platform’s robust security features give us confidence that sensitive business and customer data is well protected, which is essential in today’s digital landscape.

Additionally , the best part in goanywhere mft is its integration capability. Its not just a file transfer tool - its acts like a central automation hub between different systems and cloud platforms , API's databases and business applications. Cloud connectors are a major advantage . It integrated with services like share point and salesforce , dropbox and amazon s3 and many other heavy custom coding.

One thing that i noticed while using it i found that though GoAnywhere MFT is powerful but that power brings complexity and overhead with it.Downsides of GoAnywhere MFT are like it's not beginner friendly, not having modern UI/UX, Setup is complex and experienced troubleshooting and it can be expensive also.These are some downsides that can be fixed.

What I like most about GoAnywhere MFT is it's strong focus on security and automation. It provides a centralized way to manage file transfers with features like encryption and FTPS. The automation capabilities are also a big plus. You can schedule and manage complex workflows for file transfers without needing constant manual intervention, which makes it very useful for enterprise environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that the interface can feel a bit outdated and not as intuitive as modern tools. It may take some time to get used to the navigation and setup. Also, initial configuration and deployment can be complex, especially for teams without prior experience in managed file transfer systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how GoAnywhere MFT eliminates the need for SFTP clients on individual desktops, which reduces vulnerabilities. The setup of security is well thought out, with the server not needing to be exposed publicly and instead using a gateway with minimal information. Setting up monitors for jobs is intuitive, especially with some training from the Fortra staff. The ease of scheduling file transfers is a great feature, and the initial setup was very easy. Additionally, I valued how GoAnywhere MFT met our requirement for SSO, which other solutions at the time didn't offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a high-level dashboard with the daily jobs listed, with a green/yellow/red status. This would be more of a NOC view. Right now, we are monitoring for alerts coming through our email and Teams site as more reactive. It would be nice to have this view to be more proactive about seeing where we are, easily throughout the day. We have jobs that run at all hours. We're also using some batch scripts in GA to call applications via an agent on other servers. It's not ideal, but we are limited with some of the other software.

Support and ease of use. Most of the time with the easy UI and documentation I can figure things out on my own. Any time I have needed to contact support I get a timely and knowledgeable response. I almost forgot to mention the logging which has saved me multiple times when troubleshooting with our vendors. I don't have to reach out to the network team. I can see almost everything that is happening from the logs in the admin console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost went up, but what hasn't gone up these days. And they handled that well since we had been customers for several years now. It would be easier to have multiple Admin console windows open or an easier way to copy code blocks between projects, but I have worked with much, much worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
