Find out in this report how the two Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."GoAnywhere centralizes data exchanges, helping to facilitate file transfers between our critical systems."
"If I have a job that I need to run on the system and I want the data transferred, I can use GoAnywhere and schedule it on a daily basis, a weekly basis, or whatever, and it does the job for me to transfer the files over to the other systems, or back and forth."
"The user interface is simple."
"This is a very good product for managing file transfers."
"The most valuable feature of MFT is the security it provides for our data. MFT allows us to add additional authorization and passwords to any file attachments we send via email, and also to limit the number of times the recipient can download the file."
"All of it is valuable, but the most valuable would be the ability to release medical records without having a limitation for size and not having to deal with the fax machine."
"The use of this product has helped improve our organization and its ability to send or receive. It has done this by allowing us to remove any homegrown process and centralize needed actions."
"It is very easy to use. It is easy to create projects in a graphical environment. The configuration and the setup of the environment is very easy"
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"It is platform-independent and can flawlessly work on any operating system using the latest security standards."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"It is easy to transfer large sets of files."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"Upgrading was a challenge and I ran into some problems along the way."
"Its user interface can be improved. The current user interface is a little basic for some of the use cases. We have to use an external component to enhance it. When we need a more appealing user interface, we use an additional component, and that works okay."
"The product could be improved by being modular. There are more features in the core product than any client needs."
"The solution's support for the Unix platform and AS2 should be improved."
"The support could be enhanced a little bit... If the first echelon of support could say, 'Okay, you are trying to create a variable,' and could tell you what you have to do, that would be good."
"There's not a lot of improvement I can think of. Maybe in the tools section, they have an SQL Wizard and a URL Wizard, which are really good. I think that the SQL Wizard might need some improvement. I don't know how to improve it, but it's just a little slow here and there."
"The process of adding a vendor is very easy. You just point and click. You create your job, schedule, and project, and off you go. You just need to know what the processes do when you add in a new job that runs daily and so on. For us, it is not a problem, but maybe the documentation on that could be a little more straightforward. We, however, have no problems figuring that out. It is pretty straightforward for us."
"At present, HelpSystems GoAnywhere MFT integrates with an antivirus solution, but it's a bit kludgy."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"With constant software releases and updates, detailed notifications and documentation on the improvements along with the comparison of the past and present features would be helpful to understand and use it better."

"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
