Overall Satisfaction with GoAnywhere MFT

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.
  • ROI is hard to quantify, but I know that this has saved hundreds of hours of support over managing and maintaining the prior setup that we had before we implemented GoAnywhere MFT.
  • CuteFTP, WINSCP and VBScript
There is not a comparison between these solutions and GoAnywhere MFT. GoAnywhere MFT is above and beyond anything that these solutions could ever aspire to be.
If your organization was similar to ours where you are using CuteFTP, WINSCP, Bat Files, VBScripts, Perl Scripts, Access Database Macros, and Windows scheduled tasks to move files around then you need to get GoAnywhere. GoAnywhere has a robust feature set that can automate the most complex workflows easily. For example you can extract data from a SQL database, export the data to an Excel spreadsheet, save the file with a new file name; adding a time stamp to the end. PGP encrypt the Excel file; [add] SFTP to an outside vendor all in a single executable task.
