Move your data anywhere with Go Anywhere!
We use Go Anywhere for a variety of things across the entire organization. We use it as an ETL tool for loading data into the system. We use it to extract data and email spreadsheets to users within the company. We use it to find potential problems in the system and notify users to correct the problem. We also use it to send data to trading partners. It is an extremely versatile product.
- Data extraction: You can pull data from nearly any database and send it to users/partners in a variety of formats.
- Data transformation: Great for massaging data and transforming it to XML, text, spreadsheets, etc.
- Data Integration: An extremely useful tool for moving data between different systems. I have used it to integrate data from Oracle, Netezza, DB2, SQL Server, and even Interbase.
- There's no real drag and drop functionality as seen in Datastage or SSIS.
- There's no way to track data lineage.
- The scheduler is a kind of hard to use.

It is used by the organization to upload and download files from our trading partners. We have Vendors logon our sftp server also upload and download files. We even use internally to Linux, AIX and Windows servers. It turns lots of manual processes into automated. It is working very well with the features in the software.
- Advance workflow.
- Enhanced auditing.
- Web user.
- Admin roll and security roll.
- PGP key.
- The product is difficult to learn initially, but once you get a grip on it, it is not that difficult.
- Sometimes simple tasks require more logic.
- no training

I did several upgrade. Only going from release 4 to 5 was kind of difficult. they have changed the interface. There were separate interface for FTP client and FTP Server. With Version 5.x it was one interface. We paid extra money for support in case of failure. We cannot afford long downtime due to healthcare

This is being used by many departments within my organization to send and receive files on a monitor, trigger, or scheduled basis. It solves problems in sending the files manually to automatic and on a time, monitor basis to help in making SLA's being met. Also used to organize and reduce space of file usage in certain areas by removing files older then a certain date or time frame.
- Timeliness of sending files whether monitored, scheduled, or trigger type.
- Informing customers on either side, receiving or sending, of the process for projects.
- Ease of use in the process in creating projects.
- Reports are PDF based and would be good to have exportable file types.
- Ability to choose what to show in reports.

Powerful secure file transfer automation

We use GoAnywhere MFT to automate inbound and outbound secure file transfers with external partners. Partners connect using FTP/FTPS/SFTP/AS2/HTTPS protocols and files are transferred to and from multiple internal destinations (network shares, MQ, FTPS, SFTP). We also use it internally to automate file transfers that require protocol translation, and for basic content transformation.
- Comprehensive security configuration.
- Powerful project designer.
- File transfer automation.
- Command line interface and web services support.
- Reviewing support cases on support web site.
- Testing remote resources is limited without creating a project.
- With so many features, it can take awhile to master it.

GoAnywhere MFT Review
We are currently using GoAnywhere MFT as an automated file transfer tool. We primarily use it to move files to and from remote SFTP servers. Before we were using GoAnywhere, we were having to devote numerous man hours every week to the process of moving files to and from our clients but in having this tool available, it has allowed us to significantly improve our performance and efficiency.
- Automated workflows
- Customer service
- Ease of use
- Simplicity of development

GoAnywhere MFT, not exactly what I expected.
- We utilize GoAnywhere MFT to transfer files to and from third-party vendors.
- By implementing this platform, your organization can automate the sending and receiving of files.
- This solution provides more options than simple file transferring and can get very detailed with the available processes that can occur to the files.
- Transfers files quickly and securely between locations.
- It allows the setting of multiple schedules for automation to occur.
- Supports encryption and allows changing keys easily.
- Reduces the need to write custom scripts for transferring files.
- 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.

Great Product for all your file needs

We use GoAnywhere for several different functions. It serves as our public facing FTP server, we have internal only FTP servers to serve as conduits for file transfer and we have hundreds of projects designed to transfer files, inject SQL queries and securely transfer files from point to point. All of these processes can be completed by this one product.
- 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.
- Ticketing system needs the ability to view the ticket, see status, and what has been done.
We are currently using GoAnywhere MFT across our entire organization. We use it for the automated movement of files across multiple platforms -- Windows, iSeries, Linux, etc. We also use it for sending and receiving files to our external business partners. GoAnywhere provides functionality such as file copies, FTP, e-mail capabilities, file compression, and file encryption.
- GoAnywhere MFT makes the encryption and decryption of files effortless.
- GoAnywhere MFT provides great automation capabilities, including automated scheduling and triggers.
- GoAnywhere MFT is able to translate data into many different formats, including text files, Excel, XML, .csv, etc.
- I can't think of any functionality that we need, but that is missing in GoAnywhere MFT.

GoAnywhere MFT is a tremendous product for our file transfer needs!
We utilize GoAnywhere MFT for secure file transfers to and from our vendors. We also use it internally for data transfers between internal systems and automated e-mail tasks. The platform is used across our entire organization. Before purchasing GA MFT, we were combining powershell scripts, Windows Task Scheduler and IpSwitch WSFTP to automate file transfers and other tasks. That was an administrative nightmare!
- Automated Task Scheduling - This is a no-brainer. Schedules are easily set up to accomplish anything from basic file transfer tasks to advanced database queries and e-mails.
- User Interface - Easy to navigate and organized. A central administration dashboard is available to keep up with processes and users.
- Multiple file transfer solutions - GA MFT provides FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, Secure E-Mail as options for secure file transfers. If one method does not suit the needs internally or for a vendor, other options are available.
- Not really a con, but would like to see more robust examples of different tasks. Other than that, this product is top notch.

The only MFT solution that you will ever need.
We use GoAnywhere MFT across multiple departments across our organization. GoAnywhere enables users to log in securely and access their projects for on-demand execution, reducing the burden on the end user to submit a help desk ticket and the time that IT staff would take to assist with the request. Any process that involves downloading or uploading files to outside vendors or the general moving and archiving of files on our internal network is accomplished using GoAnywhere MFT.
- Enables users to log in securely and access their projects for on-demand execution.
- It just works, create your project, schedule it, and relax knowing that files will be there when your vendor expects them to be.
- Extremely robust feature set, can do complex data translations and transfers.
- Excellent support, I haven’t ever had an issue that support could not address.
- Nothing that I can think of.
