Seamless MFT trial with standout features and grea

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

GoAnywhere is unique due to its ease of installation, user-friendly interface and good automation. Its Advanced Workflows allow one to create and maintain secure file transfers easily and the Cloud Connector Marketplace is a huge strength, with connector installations (such as Salesforce, AWS or Jira) only taking a few minutes. It is a platform that has security, flexibility and it is easy to use and there is a responsive team that assisted me during my trial.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best feature about GoAnywhere MFT is that it is simple to handle. The installation was smooth and the interface allows me to create and follow workflows without difficulties, even in case of a first time user. Another thing I found quite nice was the Cloud Connector Marketplace - connections such as Salesforce could be installed within a few minutes and did not require any outside installation. It was complemented by high automation, security of transfers and support, which made the entire evaluation process smooth.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I did not find anything I disliked during my trial. The site also worked well and I almost spent a month testing every functionality of the application, including Advanced Workflows, secure file transfers and the embedded Cloud Connector Marketplace. The whole operation was as intended and I did not encounter any hurdle to the areas that I tested.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In case you are considering trying GoAnywhere MFT, contact their sales team, they are fast to grasp your application and can provide a trial environment, as in my case. Test with that trial workflow automation, secure transfer choices and the Cloud Connector Marketplace. It takes a few minutes to install the connectors such as Salesforce or AWS and the well-documented and supportable nature of the system allows one to evaluate the suitability of the platform to their security and automation requirements.

Hard to work with

Likeliness to Recommend

1 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

It feels harder to use than other file sharing tools. It says it offers secure automation, but the actual experience doesn't feel that smooth. Even simple tasks take more time than they should..

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

If I have to pick something good, its the security. The only thing that consistently worked well for was how many ways it gives to protect important files.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI is confusing, slow, and not beginner friendly. Even easy tasks feel heavy, and when you run jobs, the whole system slows down which makes using it every day very frustrating.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I'd recommend testing it with your real work before choosing it. To avoid headaches later, you should also look at simpler and more user friendly options.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Cons

  • Wastes Time
  • Under Delivered
  • Less Transparent

Secure, Automated, and Seamlessly Integrated.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

GoAnywhere is unique in the sense that it has lured several transfer workflows to a single roof without seeming to be cumbersome. The automation software in fact is time-saving and the security measures are mature to be used by an enterprise and not to be slowed down in the daily operations. It is more reliable and predictable in comparison to most of the options that we have tried.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The greatest victory is the reliability. Once a workflow is established it simply executes itself without supervision. It is simple to monitor the entire situation on the dashboard and the alerting system has actually enabled us to respond better to problems.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI is somehow dated and there are certain configuration stages that should have fewer clicks. New entrants might have to undergo a learning curve to fully get comfortable. There might also be faster support response times in emergency cases.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You will have an opportunity to plan your workflow before doing onboarding so that you could make the most of the automation functionality. Ensure that your IT team comes during the process of establishment since correct set up is very crucial. This is a powerful tool in case you require a secure and repeatable transfer of files on a large scale.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
