An MFT tool with strong centralised controls

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

The two major difference that I want to mention here are: 1. It support centralised management, meaning everything can be managed from one centralised dashboard, from permissions to work flows to audit logs and this part makes it more robust and more transparent than other competitors. 2. Here I want to mention how it operates flawlessly under strong work flow automation engine, where it doesn't only transfer files but it can rename or process files by it's own as required, it can compress or encrypt files as per requirements and not only that but it can also send report and alerts. And my favourite part, it execute scripts automatically.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of the product would be the way it converts manual and fragmented file transfer process into a streamlined automated workflows. It helps our organisation to create a measurable ROI through lower operational overhead and reduced errors.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing which I personally feel can be improved is the user interface which looks bit outdated as compared to the latest could native platforms. New users can take more time to adapt on this platform.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Well, I would recommend this tool to all small and large scale business, as we operate in very small business setup as of now but still this tool is very efficient and effective for us and even when we scale our business, this tool is going to stay in our business without any doubt.
