What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

They are very user-friendly, and they offer clear documentation. It is quite logical. The product performs as promised. All MFT scripts might be centralized by us. Task scheduling, job monitoring, and encryption all function well. combines with AD. I think the device offers good value for the money and is simple to use. does not require much work to become trained.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to quickly set up and configure automated file transfers is arguably the best feature of GoAnywhere MFT. I highly recommend it for times when you need a quick setup without having to dig into scripting and other coding. Moreover, the centralized administrative control provides great options as well. It has allowed us to easily manage tasks like scheduling or monitoring and quickly update them when necessary.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I have only experienced one little issue that has not been resolved (yet). Connecting to several server and network share types is possible with GoAnywhere. Using a Network Share resource, I was able to connect our production server to a certain Windows Server, however attempts to use a GoAnywhere project to move data from the production server to Windows Server are failing.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I highly recommend GoAnywhere MFT as an effective, secure and easy-to-use file transfer solution. It is reliable and efficient, with quick setup times, an intuitive interface and a wide range of security options. In our experience, it has proven itself to be a great tool for transferring data quickly and securely.
