"Secure Transfers with a Learning Curve"
4/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I like how GoAnywhere MFT securely handles file transfers, making the whole process simple. The automation feature is very useful because it reduces manual work and makes regular file transfers much easier to manage. The initial setup was quite easy and straightforward, with good communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

Sometimes the interface can feel a bit complex for new users, and it may take some time to understand all the features. A more simplified setup as well as clearer navigation would make it easier to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and Automated File Transfers, But a Steep Learning Curve"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I use GoAnywhere MFT to securely transfer and manage sensitive files with encryption and access control. I like its strong security combined with automation, which makes secure file transfers easy and runs reliably in the background. The automation aspect saves time by handling repetitive file transfers without manual effort. I also appreciate the auditing and compliance features, which give me peace of mind with detailed visibility into every action, making it easier to track activity, meet compliance requirements, and quickly identify issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

I find GoAnywhere MFT a bit complex to set up at first and the interface is not always as smooth or intuitive as it could be. It could be improved with a more modern and intuitive user interface and a simpler initial setup process. Better onboarding, clearer documentation, and more flexible pricing options would also make it easier to adopt and use, especially for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Bailey of GoAnywhere MFT

Vijay,

We are aware there the UI/UX is not up to par for 2026 and are taking steps to improve. The last couple of years were highly focused on Security and Scalability of the software. Look for more up to date UI starting in the web client, and then later in the admin client throughout 2026. We are also looking at new AI features in 2026 to help build workflows with natural language and improve the initial setup experience.

The link I attached below lets you vote on some features being considered for GoAnywhere and submit ideas for new features (button in top right). There is also a link to book a time to chat with me about our roadmap, any issues with our customer service, or any ideas you have. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"Secure, Efficient File Transfers with a Steep Learning Curve and High Cost"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

What I appreciate most about GoAnywhere MFT is its strong emphasis on secure, automated file transfers, complete with detailed audit trails. The platform streamlines complex workflows by offering seamless integration with a variety of systems using APIs and connectors. Its centralized management console allows for straightforward monitoring and control of all file movements. In summary, GoAnywhere MFT significantly improves security, compliance, and efficiency when it comes to enterprise data transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

One aspect I find challenging about GoAnywhere MFT is that the initial setup and configuration process can be quite complicated, especially for those who are new to the platform. Although the interface offers robust features, it often appears outdated and is less user-friendly than more modern solutions. The licensing fees can also be a significant burden for smaller organizations. Furthermore, resolving some integration issues may demand advanced technical knowledge or assistance from the vendor.

Response from Chris Bailey of GoAnywhere MFT

Rushikesh,

Thanks for the review! As you mentioned it is a steep learning curve to get started, but very powerful once you get the hang of it. If you have any suggestions on how we can make it easier for a first time user, please reach out! We also offer expert services to help out with the more complicated cases, and we are looking at new AI features in 2026 to help build workflows with natural language.

4.5/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I like how GoAnywhere MFT makes workflow automation easier and speeds up setup, saving time in managing content across different roles. The automation works well, and data is handled securely. The support is reliable, making the evaluation process smooth. I find the dashboard easy to use, and the alerts help us spot and fix issues faster. The automation tools, secure file transfer, and easy-to-use dashboard are features we value most as they save time, reduce errors, and make monitoring simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

Advanced setup and custom workflows can be tricky and the learning curve is a bit steep. Some processes are not very easy to set up. It would help if the setup for advanced workflows was simpler and more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Bailey of GoAnywhere MFT

"Excellent Option for Managing Internal and External File Transfer"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

We implemented GoAnywhere MFT as our file transfer solution to manage both external vendor communications and various internal processes. Because of our transfer requirements, we handle several thousand incoming PDF files each day, and GoAnywhere offered a straightforward way to ensure all these files are directed to the correct locations for our business operations. For more routine tasks, creating jobs is simple, and the auditing features give us clear visibility into the activity on our transfer server at any time. We also chose to deploy the MFT server and gateway to facilite external connections through a static IP provided by Azure allowing for high avallavbility accros our data centers. In the past year, we had one support incident during a upgrade that the GoAnywhere team was able to quickly resolve over the phone and get our environment work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

One area that we would like to see an additional feature is the ability to browse a partner SFTP server when testing. Luckily due to feature set of GoAnywhere, I've created a job that emails the directory listing or contents of a server so we can review and determine what connections we need to make.

"Robust File Management, Needs UI Refinements"
4/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

I like how GoAnywhere MFT combines secure file transfers, automation, and monitoring in one easy-to-manage platform. It's valuable to me because it secures sensitive file transfers, automates repetitive workflows, and provides clear monitoring and alerts to quickly resolve issues and ensure reliability. It reduces errors from manual transfers, replaces scattered FTP scripts, ensures encryption and compliance, and makes troubleshooting failed transfers much easier for me. The initial setup was quick and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

While the core functionality is strong, the UI and documentation for advanced use cases could be improved to reduce the learning curve. The UI could better visualize complex workflows with fewer clicks and clearer error messages, and the documentation would benefit from more real-world, step-by-step examples for advanced use cases.

"Secure file transfers across business systems"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoAnywhere MFT?

In my case, the most useful aspect of GoAnywhere MFT is the amount of effort it takes off tasks that are routine. Once configured, it manages a high frequency of movement of files between cloud systems and partner systems with minimal input. The manner it connects with our existing software simplifies our day to day activities. I also appreciate the vast array of features since it implies fewer hand corrective interventions and the removal of stress when it comes to external data exchanges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoAnywhere MFT?

The problem that I have with GoAnywhere MFT is that it can be so demanding when there are changes to be made. Modifications or integrations are time consuming. There are numerous features and it is easy to get things too complicated. This, at times, has slowed us down when partners required quick change and this can disrupt normal operations unless planned adjustments are made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
