GoAnywhere MFT provides robust, secure file transfer that keeps our journal's sensitive manuscripts and reviewer reports safe. It automates workflows to streamline our admin processes, is easy to set up, and saves time managing content between editors, reviewers, and contributors.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Getting comfortable with all the advanced features takes training, and initial setup for automation and security can be detailed. Sometimes quirky interfaces mean you need support to troubleshoot, which is not always instant.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It enabled the automation of content exchange and secure document transfers for the International Journal of Nursing and Health Services, improving compliance and speeding up editorial workflows. Now, we can protect author data and easily transfer files across remote staff. So I will suggest everyone to use it and recommend it.

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.

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.
