Automate Secure Transfers with GoAnywhere

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

The drag-and-drop automation feature with no coding is for sure only offered by GoAnywhere MFT. It offers not only Fully Branded Portals but also GoDrive secure collaboration, all best-in-class.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being a technical person, sometimes it’s good to have some automated processes, therefore, I love GoAnywhere's Automation Designer feature, which lets me create complex workflows without using any coding. Also, the Event-Driven Automation feature, which triggers the workflows either based on the schedule or the file arrival, helps me to keep the process running smoothly. GoAnywhere has done a really great job with its features, such as another interesting feature is the Sandbox Testing Environment for workflow validation.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I faced a bit problem with the error messages as they were not always descriptive, and in order to make use of some connectors, manual updates were required.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would highly recommend you to use the Email Alerts, System Event Logs, and Dashboard Widgets, as these will all allow you to track failures, delays, and security issues if there are any.
