What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

GA is really easy to use overall and maintenance is straightforward. Day-to-day management is very simple, and the controls are intuitive. Our org is running dos batch jobs with a WS-FTP command line processor. GA helps with monitoring processes, speeding our dev cycles, and built-in functions that replace several home built VB and C++ programs that inspect and review data files efficiently.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Very flexible, easy to reuse projects with scheduler overrides.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The GUI should be improved to be modern and feel more intuitive.

GA is cost effective and easy to use. So I highly recommend it for efficient and secure file transfer.
