What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

GoAnywhere is way more better if I compare it with other peer products, although we have not used much of others product but still I have compared the features of many other alternatives and finally decided to go with it. It supports protocols like SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, and AS2, and also it can be integrated with multiple cloud services such as AWS, Azure, and enterprise applications as well such as SAP, Salesforce and more. These features can not be found be other similar products, they offers few of these features but not all under one platform.

This tool has strong security and compliance and uses encryption standards like AES, PGP and supports compliance regulations such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS. Secondly, the the web dashboard is intuitive and makes it easy to monitor and manage transfers. A lot of integration options are there with cloud software and enterprise solutions. Workflow can be automated that reduces our time to to do tasks manually.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As we are a small organization, it is bit costly for us, but considering its diverse features, we chose it. Also, in the beginning it takes time to understand the UI and integrations with other software to work on it efficiently Sometimes we have faces issues when updated to newer versions of this tool. .
