What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

GoAnywhere connects modern cloud apps directly to mainframes—z/OS, CICS, IMS, VSAM—with native 3270 screen scraping, JCL submission, dataset extraction, and EBCDIC-to-ASCII transforms eliminating expensive middleware completely.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Insurance mainframe modernization: direct z/OS dataset extracts fed cloud analytics 67% processing speedup. 3270 automation submitted 2.3M batch jobs daily zero manual intervention. EBCDIC policy files converted to JSON for API consumption perfectly. JCL error analysis reduced 84% job abends automatically. Mobile mainframe dashboard confirmed batch completion during C-suite reviews.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Screen scraping validation requires 41 days per transaction type. Mainframe dataset limits 94GB per transfer maximum. JCL parsing accuracy drops 19% complex PROCs. Mobile 3270 terminal emulation lacks function key support.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Mainframe teams modernize without rip-and-replace using GoAnywhere.
