The best solution for streamlining file transfers!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

What really sets GoAnywhere MFT apart from other similar solutions is the strong emphasis on data security, encryption, and audit trail. It's truly the best-in-class when it comes to simplifying and automating file transfers with enterprise-level security both within the organization and across organizations - something that used to be a big headache for me.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspects about GoAnywhere MFT are its native integrations to file storage solutions like SharePoint and Dropbox as well as the ability to build a custom workflow to schedule file transfers so they are always where they need to be. The best part is, it removed the need for hosting external file-sharing servers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

So far I haven't experienced any issues with this platform.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For those who are looking for a secure and easy-to-use peer-to-peer file sharing solution, I highly recommend giving GoAnywhere MFT a try through a trial or demo.

Easy to use and it flat out works!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

Ease of use and capabilities. We had a contract with another vendor. That product never worked for the entire duration of the contract. We had multiple contractors and onsite visits from the vendor. No one could make it work for us. I had almost given up on a workable, scalable, easy to implement solution. I stumbled upon HelpSystems and GoAnywhere quite by accident. In TWO HOURS I had GoAnywhere MFT transferring files in our system. The product simply works, and it works really well. We are always finding new business uses for this product. I could not be happier with this product. This product has made me a fan.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use hands down. Any product that you can find, install and have working in two hours... and having never seen it before... speaks volumes to me. It is just easy to use and it flat out works.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I haven't really found anything I "dislike" about GoAnywhere. Even things that are "not on par" with the rest of the product are above what I have seen with other products.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Look at all the options. Listen to the other vendors when they tell you that "you will need someone to install this for you". Consider High Availability options, disaster recovery, backups, scalability, ease of use, encryption, ease of upgrades, total cost and measure your risks. The contract and the value we received just sealed the deal for me. I don't think anyone can compete, on the same level, in this space with GoAnywhere right now.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
