Disappointed post CL0P breach. Very unfortunate

Likeliness to Recommend

3 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

Feels like the focused more on ease of use over protecting the data. It was a really bad breach and gravely impacted my former company

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

They told us about the breach

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Look at in-house with default security settings or use internal tools like Google Drive or OneDrive and share files that way. More auditing and secure than a 3rd-party. I was burned really bad.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Enables Productivity
Respectful
Altruistic

Cons

Security Frustrates
Less Effective Service
Less Caring

Encrypted file transfers for confidential program.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

I used to have a clumsy, high-risk process of sharing assessment and feedback files with facilitators before we had GoAnywhere; now I share everything through standardized flows and invest more energy in leadership.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As Leadership Development Coordinator at Apoyo Cuba, GoAnywhere is what I trust to securely transmit both participant and partner information; the encryption and audit trail features really help reduce my compliance fears.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Meanwhile, the admin interface can feel a bit heavy; I’m not an IT-only person and have become way too dependant on our technical colleague to setup workflows / procedures and hardly ever venture into compley advanced settings by myself.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

To other non-profits considering GoAnywhere, I would recommend including your IT partner early, documenting easy-to-understand usage patterns for staff and positioning it as the default choice for any sensitive transmission.
