We use GoAnywhere to deliver thousands of files to hundreds of locations, both onsite as well as offsite, every day. GoAnywhere never fails on its own, but if something in the process does fail, it records the steps, so you know exactly where to go to fix it. Re-running a job is a simple click. This has been such a time saver. GoAnywhere allows you to seamlessly create, send, pickup, or sync files and automate the process. The level of customization is unmatched for the price.
Creating more complicated jobs can be difficult. But that's more on me than them. I was just kind of thrown into GoAnywhere, and while figuring out the majority of the features and functionality were simple enough, some of the more complicated tasks took a lot longer to figure out. If I had some official training or documentation, I don't think that would have been an issue.

GoAnywhere has brought us up to date with managing all of our file transfer needs. The delineation of functional areas (coding, resource mgmt, key mgmt, etc.) make all much easier to manage and use across multiple transfers. Additionally, the dashboard allows a quick means to see recent jobs and what has failed, not to mention the ability to search completed jobs, transfers, and file movement, all with filters, allows for quick responses to business questions on successes, failures, and timing of transfers and file availability. All in all, this is the best product I've see in my professional career -- meeting the ever growing demand of managing file transfers.
WOW... "All of the above"... There isn't much I don't like... being a business analyst previously, the layout and the functionality is fantastic - it is obvious the product weighs the benefits to many customers in how it adds functionality and design, something not easily done when one-off requests come in that are impossible to implement as it affects the masses. With that in mind, I kept my "Con" below to follow this train of thought. I love the auto logging of all project, the key mgmt., the resource mgmt., the audit logs... just so many things!
Least... we are a few revisions old, so this may have been addressed... When selecting resources, I hate how the entire page must load before I can click on a resource. If I click on one before the entire page loads, then I get an error and have to start all over. I understand this data is loading from the database, so I've lived with it. However, could there be a way to pre-load this information...
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about your issues on the List Resources page. We have not heard of delays from anyone else when loading Resources. When time permits for you, please contact support so we can investigate this issue further with your environment.

Smoother file transfers, better setup
This product supports just about every transfer method out there. We even have one client where we are directly transferring from Linux to an IBM Mainframe, complete with the ACSII to EBCDIC conversion.
It was a little painful to convert from all the bash script, but it has been worth it. We have far fewer transfer problems now.
Thanks for your feedback. Manually converting from legacy scripts to GoAnywhere can certainly take some time, depending on how complex they are. We are looking into ways in which customers could automatically import their scripts in the future, which would be very cool.

Overall I would consider my experience with GoAnywhere MFT to be very positive over time my company has adopted the use of this product as our standard file management solution across all lines of business.
GoAnywhere MFT is one of the quickest and easiest server products to install I've encountered. In under 15 minutes you'll be logging into the web service front end. Also of note is that GoAnywhere's performance is top notch. For example when I was looking for a full featured SFTP server I tested over half a dozen options. GoAnywhere's file transfer performance far exceeded all the others and unlike many of them it didn't crush the CPU while doing it. Once installed setting up basic file transfer flows is straight forward with plenty of logging and the ability to add alerting throughout every part. GoAnywhere's ability to work with just about any subsystem you might want to use is quite impressive.
The internal programming language is simple and has a lot of powerful tools but is a bit inconsistent and lacking some basic functions like the ability to check for the existence of a variable before using it. Although the release notes indicate it is possible to setup the HTTPS Web Client to meet PCI compliance standards the documentation does not provide details on how to accomplish this. Customer support although very responsive were not able to help me with this. This is a small ding in a product that is otherwise a model of security standards.
