Fortra
Go Anywhere is perfect for moving data between systems. It is great for pulling data and emailing it or sending it to another server. However, Go Anywhere is limited as an ETL tool. It is not good for large datasets. When we had to move millions of rows from one server to another, it totally choked.

  • GoAnywhere has a gateway device that allows for securing the traffic coming from outside your network in without exposing too much of your network.

Cons
Fortra
  • In the beginning, when implementing, it can take a while to understand how it works thoroughly.
  • Due to the added abilities learning to configure the software can take some time.
  • Training for this product will cost extra. The training is also not excellent.
  • The software seems glitchy at times, sometimes being slow or corrupting jobs.

  • Scalability is RAM limited, all data is associative and in-memory so server's RAM is directly proportional to performance
  • Limitation on advanced analytics capabilities in the form of R integration to perform complex statistical and analytical calculations
  • Can have more intuitive interface

Implementation Rating
Fortra
Implementation was straight forward. We paid for 50 hours of professional service in case, we need help. We end using only 10 hours. I have only 1 month to convert over 120 scripts from FTP voyager to goanywhere. Old script was had written using bat files. Some of the batch file were written by some other person, who passed away. Documents for old script was not in details. With the professional service, I was able to convert all script within windows

Alternatives Considered
Fortra
At the time we were evaluating a managed file transfer system, we initially looked at Ipswitch. It did not have a web based interface and the overall price was extremely higher than GA MFT. The solutions offered by GA MFT were significantly more attractive for our needs as an organization.

The customization of the platform opens up plenty of other options depending on the use cases. The API layer is incredibly rich and makes integration of Qlik based visualization into web pages a simple and effective pattern. It's been very easy to use with a great community made up of professionals. Qlik Sense has introduces artificial Intelligence into my data visualization and reporting activity.

Return on Investment
Fortra
  • GA has made life easier for our employees. Many processes that used to take a lot of time are now automated or semi-automated using GA.
  • GA has helped our IT team be far more productive. It would take weeks to put together code that we can do in GA in a day or less.

  • It's hard sometimes to realize the money we save by using this system.
  • People start understanding the power of data and asking more questions.
