Reliable and Secure File Transfer Tool with Solid

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

It helped me streamline file movement across systems by replacing manual SFTP processes and fragmented scripts with fully automated workflows. I built scheduled jobs that handled encryption using built-in PGP, moved files between internal servers and external partners, and triggered downstream APIs once transfers completed. This eliminated the need to rely on tools or write custom code for routine file handling. As an Application Development Analyst, I appreciated having audit logs and error visibility in one place. It brought consistency, improved reliability, and saved both development and operations time across critical processes.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The built-in workflow automation is what I liked most. I created multi-step file transfer processes that included file validation, encryption, movement, and post-transfer API triggers, all through a visual interface. This meant I didn’t have to write or maintain shell scripts anymore. It also reduced coordination with ops teams since everything was scheduled and monitored from one place. Setting up error-handling paths and notifications was straightforward, and helped cut down on time spent chasing failed transfers. For someone in a development role, this kind of low-code flexibility made integration and maintenance much easier.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UI can feel a bit outdated and unintuitive at times, especially when navigating large projects or trying to make quick edits to workflows. Some settings are buried deeper than they need to be, which slows things down during urgent fixes. I also found that debugging complex workflows wasn’t always straightforward, logs are available, but tracing nested issues takes effort. There were moments where better error descriptions or more visual debugging tools would have helped. For someone in a development role who often handles integration and issue resolution, that lack of clarity adds time to otherwise simple fixes.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure your use cases are clearly mapped out before implementation. This tool works best when you take full advantage of its automation and security features, so invest time in understanding how workflows, keys, API connectors fit into your environment. If you’re coming from a script-heavy setup like I was, be prepared for a learning curve initially, but once configured, it saves a lot of manual effort. Also, involve both IT and business users early, especially for scheduling and audit compliance needs. Setting clear ownership from day one makes maintenance smoother and prevents confusion when things need troubleshooting or updates late

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Saves Time
  • Respectful
