"Learning curve pretty high, but works great for our file transfers to the cloud!"
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I use a very small piece in GoAnywhere (Resources & Workflows for SFTP Transfers), but there is so much available that the options are unlimited. We now have files transferring hourly, daily, & weekly to our cloud environment. I appreciate everything available including scheduling, monitors, reports, and notifications. It really makes it nice to set it up and forget it, but also receive emails if something fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

I am not a programmer and worked with our system engineer to set up our transfers and he was also new to GoAnywhere. When he got stuck, GoAnywhere Support provided the answers and after much trial and error, we finally got everything working. I did finally get training, but it was too high level. Instead, it would be nice to receive detailed training on setting up different Resources & Projects with all the options before we started using the product.

"Secure and scalable platform for file transfer"
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I do really prefer it for its robust security and seamless integration with our current work system.

I use it on daily basis as there is a frequent requirement for automating the file transfer.

Its ease of implementation and user friendly interface allows me to operate efficiently.

Most preferably my favourite feature is its automation and scheduling capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

Its comes exceptionally great features to work but its customer support response could is recommended to reduce as there is a frequent lag in response.

Also the initial learning curve curve are too steep but once learn it runs smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"oAnywhere MFT Cut Down Our Transfer Errors and Saved Hours Weekly"
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

What I like best about GoAnywhere MFT is the automation and visibility it gives us over file transfers. Earlier, we were relying on custom scripts and manual scheduling, which made it hard to track failures or prove compliance during audits. With GoAnywhere, every transfer is logged with detailed audit trails, so I don’t need to chase logs across multiple servers anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

Sometimes the initial setup can feel a bit overwhelming because there are so many configuration options. Few features like PGP key management and advanced triggers weren’t immediately intuitive without digging through documentation. I also wish the web interface was a little more modern and responsive, as it can feel dated compared to other enterprise tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Bailey of GoAnywhere MFT

Hetuk,

Thanks for the review! As you mentioned it is a steep learning curve to get started, but very powerful once you get the hang of it. If you have any suggestions on how we can make it easier for a first time user, please reach out! We are also doing work to modernize the interface. You should start to see improvements in the UI on the web client side around the end of 2025 or early 2026.

The link I attached below lets you vote on some features being considered for GoAnywhere and submit ideas for new features (button in top right). There is also a link to book a time to chat with me about our roadmap, any issues with our customer service, or any ideas you have. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"File transfers are so easy"
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

Automated file transfers allow me to avoid relying on multiple products and scripts to manage our processes. Like inbuilt scheduler to run workflows, automated email alerts and file processing when done.

Has secure cloud file transfers and can also connect with web apps i use like dropbox and salesforce.

Client support is fair Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

At first, implementing the software was challenging, and most workers struggled to use it. However, as time went on, it became easier for everyone to adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure file transfer solution for our cloud modernization programs"
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

We used GoAnywhere MFT mainly for moving files from different on-prem healthcare systems to Azure for our cloud data platform.

We used it to pull files from systems like SAP and other EHR/EMR sources and then move those to Azure Blob and mount in Databricks

Best things i noticed,

The trigger-based jobs are useful for automating things without too much manual work

SFTP, FTPS support

Audit logs helped during compliance

Reusable templates for file transfers

Biggest help was reducing manual scripts and FTP headaches

Also useful for handling file encryption/decryption (PGP) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

UI can feel old design and sometime i feel navigating and improve the UI design

License cost & subscriptions should be little more better in teh competitive world

Getting more add-on direct connectors for modern systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Bailey of GoAnywhere MFT

Senthil,

Thanks for the review! You will be happy to hear that we are started to address the UI this year with our 8.0 release, coming in December. That will mostly focus on the web client UI. In 2027 we will start to focus more on the administrative UI.

There is also a link to book a time to chat with me about our roadmap, any issues with our customer service, or any ideas you have. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"Secure Transfers Made Easy, Needs UI Improvement"
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I have been using GoAnywhere MFT for approximately one year, primarily to manage secure file transfers across our organization and with external partners. I appreciate its automation capabilities for file workflows and encryption of sensitive data, which ensure compliance with data protection regulations. The robust security features and automation capabilities were key factors in selecting GoAnywhere MFT over other options, as they replaced our previous manual processes and some disconnected tools effectively. The implementation process was straightforward and enabled us to quickly centralize our file transfer workflows. I find the ease of integration with existing systems, comprehensive security features, user and role management, and centralized management view to be extremely beneficial. Additionally, the ability to monitor different transfers from a single interface provides enhanced visibility and control across the organization. These features have significantly improved our efficiency and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

I find the user interface for configuring advanced automation tasks to be somewhat challenging. Although the platform is powerful, the more complex workflows and scripting features can become a bit technical and overwhelming for new users. I believe improving these aspects would simplify the learning curve for customers who are beginning to use the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is quite interactive which allows me to manage secure file confidently.

Not only this, its ease of implementation made onboarding simple.

Our frequency of use is quite high since it is in our daily routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

Its works well with our current system but areas which could be improved is its customer support response time.

Also the initial setup of advanced features require more technical understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

I would like to see improvements in the user interface for workflow visualization.
