The only thing we’re missing I’d the ability to connect to web services with oauth2 authentication ,like some stored in Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is simple enough to learn quickly, but powerful enough to cover most of our data translation and transfer needs, including web services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is missing some aids, like automatic column numbering and easy renumbering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The admin portal is a really concise way to handle all of my MFT needs. Projects, monitors, logs, and encryption vaults are all at my fingertips and easily accessible. The stability and ease of use was very helpful as a newcomer to the IT space. We have seen a drastic improvement in the number of transmission errors or dropped connections compared to our free to use software. Support has been beyond excellent. Upgrades have been seamless. I couldn't be happier with this product and will push to have this at any company I'm associated with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that i dislike is that i am not able to set monitors on a specific day of the month. Some cross server functionality has some issues but there is always a workaround if you look hard enough. Syntax is a little weird so I also found myself contacting support often when looking into figuring out a new task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not support DNS name. I wish it support that feature. Once you create template and then modify the template, It will not update all web users using the template. IF IP address of host change then we need to change web user and projects to that IP Address. IF DNS is supported then we do not have any work to do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is very easy to use and configure for our systems, where I can send the end users for my organization to a single point and they simply upload and files automatically are ingested into our product.

What I have further found is the powerful workflow (project) capabilities of GoAnywhere MFT where we can add logic to the files, users, REST Endpoints, and this is making this product far more powerful than I originally thought it could be.

Our use of this product is currently for moving files from our MFT server to various servers using some logic and applying those files to the correct locations.

Other usages that we have are to pull files from various locations, and also now we are able to manipulate users and perform other logical events using the Projects functionality.

What we have been able to implement user manipulation using separate coding through Python to leverage the APIs which are provided by GoAnywhere. We have also been using the Apis for uploading files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think one thing which end users are sometimes complaining about is the speed of uploads from the web UI, from the FTP client uploads are much quicker but our end users aren't always savvy to use the FTP clients.

The end users have suggested that a more user friendly UI could be of benefit because they would expect the upload location to be something like under a /ftp folder or a /root folder, but the UI only shows their main folder, which then we have to manually add a false folder called FTP or root.

It is so easy to write jobs to pull or upload data. You can write ETL jobs in under 30 minutes most of the time. The source code is XML and can be quickly edited. It also has tremendous speed when accessing data in SQL server and DB2. I can access data from SQL Server faster than SSIS can on the same server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't have a drag and drop interface. Compared to Datastage and SSIS it can be a bit difficult to get a good overview of what the job is doing. The other problem has been the quality of technical support. It is very easy to stump the technicians with relatively simple questions. That never happened before Linoma was purchased by Help Systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The admin portal is easy to handle MFT needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you can customize the product to your needs, as opposed to an out of the box solution with little to no flexibility. The product is extremely flexible and allows you to create workflows that are specific to your business use case. There is also the security aspect of the application. The product has built in auditing tools to complement our vulnerability management and PEN testing tools to ensure compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest the only thing I would improve is the ability to assign more granular security permissions for end user folders and files. We are limited in the ability to enable users to create / delete files and folders in our client directories. For instance our users can create folders for clients to organize documents for uploads, but we cannot also enable them to delete folders for the client without giving them excess permissions in the directory structure above the client folder structure.

Simple to use interface, easy to setup new connections, and rather problem free experience. We were even able to interface it with our old AS400 systems we've been using for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really a lot to not like, maybe that it wasn't free? We initially tried rolling our own free in house solution but it was just way too painful thus we bought MFT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GA MFT is like a visual programming language. Anyone can jump in and start designing transfers. As you learn the ins and outs of GA MFT the user can create increasingly integrated and complicated projects for automating workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes auditing a single transfer for successful file movement during a specific time can be a chore. Long load times and often it requires the user to only looks at specific file names or paths that may be used in other projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the product allows users with limited skills in coding to create a project or product to support the organizations needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
