Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT vs. bTrade TDXchange

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.

It's a great product, works very well. Very reliable, secure and easy to use. We're not a large company and don't have big IT staff so the product is very good for companies like ours. Also bTrade support are great! They really help us whenever we have issues or need some additional information.

• For an FTP server it is robust but very easy to use and configure.
• For a project manager for file transfers, it allows you to do nearly anything, from simple file move to file rename, move, zip, and create a new folder location to drop the file in.
• GoAnywhere has a gateway device that allows for securing the traffic coming from outside your network in without exposing too much of your network.

• Reporting
• Auditing
• Ease of use and onboarding
• Stability
• Cost Reduction for hardware requirements

• 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.

• The product performs flawlessly and meets all our expectations.

Great product and great support and they listen to our feedback on the features!

Since using it and having time to work with it, its process and actions are growing on me and once a project is created one can implement across numerous location or platforms

The bTrade TDXchange User Interface is great! It is very intuitive, and easy to navigate. The reporting capabilities are truly invaluable.

Never crashed on us or had issue but that's no surprise, it's used by many companies over the years and bugs were fixed before we got the product.

bTrade TDXchange is very fast and no impact to our other systems.

They would help us to identify the problem and provide a solution every time. Support also will answer questions about what the application can do and how, and it would allow you to submit enhancements requests for consideration to be included in future versions.

We have only had to engage bTrade TDXchange’s technical support team a few times, but it has always been a great experience. They are U.S. based and very responsive. We even provided feedback shortly after implementation and they put our recommendation into the next release (or the one after that…I forget exactly).

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

It literally took a few minutes to install bTrade TDXchange and then with bTrade's documentation we were able to do all the initial setup in under an hour.

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.

We chose bTrade TDXchange over MoveIT for its superior security features, seamless integration capabilities, and user-friendly interface

So far we only have one instance in Prod and one in DR, however a single instance can handle many files because of it's good design.

• 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.

• bTrade TDXchange enabled us to develop and manage a cost-effective solution for our logistics client, efficiently handling worldwide shipments.
