We performed a comparison between Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT and JSCAPE by Redwood based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The SFTP and encryption functionality works well, and SFTP is the bulk of what we use."
"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."
"The user interface is simple."
"I like the organization of resources, specifically listing out all of our FTPs and having a name and description to easily organize them. I also like the scheduler. The organization and the scheduling, being able to create the folders and the jobs, have been really helpful."
"This is a very good product for managing file transfers."
"GoAnywhere centralizes data exchanges, helping to facilitate file transfers between our critical systems."
"Transactions transfer in close to real time. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time because of the volume that we have, but the transactions transfer in seconds to the external platform."
"GoAnywhere stands out for its user-friendly project creation, intuitive testing and troubleshooting, and especially its notification system, which keeps me informed of any issues that need attention, a feature we lacked before."
"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 a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"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."
"The support desk has room for improvement. I keep opening tickets and they keep telling me that they're closed, but they're not resolved."
"GoAnywhere's interface could be a little more intuitive."
"Upgrading was a challenge and I ran into some problems along the way."
"There's one persnickety issue about NAS permissions. That is a problem we have run into with GoAnywhere. I would like to see more focus on compatibility with/enforcement of user roles and access permissions across NAS, among other things. We have filed a couple of tickets on that in the past."
"When we restart the agent on each server, it tries to go out to the internet and it takes about a 13-minute timeout before it can move forward. Why is there a 13-minute timeout value when trying to go to the internet? ...If they could limit that timeout or give us a way to modify it so we could have a faster timeout, that would help us at least knock out a half-hour's worth of outage."
"We are a little concerned because the maximum number of open connections allowed is 200, and we are pretty much maxed out... if they expanded the number of open connections allowed, we would be better off."
"I want to be able to use GoAnywhere to create customizable reports that I can share with the MSP containing any information related to file transfers."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
