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."We also use the Secure Folders module and the Web Client a lot. For example, we set up external vendors to come in and review files or folders in a Secure Folder. That way they can go in and review whatever information or data they need to do."
"Its speed is the most valuable because every integration used to take months with old SOA tools, integration buses, and that type of stuff. Now, we do integrations in a matter of days. Security is another valuable thing because every step in the workflow has an audit trace, which is great. This also brings a lot of confidence in automating business process workflows through this type of solution."
"When users say, 'I'm building spreadsheets that I would like to be uploaded on a regular basis into the IBM i,' we are able to accommodate that request within a matter of hours rather than the days it would take to create programs to do that. That is very useful. It has eliminated several dozens of scripts for us."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to call a workflow from another workflow. That really gives you an edge by increasing reusability and speeding up development time. You can create a workflow which is a type of template and then call that workflow from any other workflow... It has sped up development time by 80 to 90 percent."
"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."
"Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT supports the PeSIT protocol."
"The security and vendor management features are helpful in terms of providing access to data."
"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"JSCAPE provides high-level data encryption, which can help us share confidential and time-sensitive data across our global partners without any hassle."
"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."
"The JSCAPE MFT Server offers support for diverse protocols such as FTP(S), SFTP, SCP, AFTP, OFTP, and TFPT."
"There is a function referred to as write CSV, to write a general text file. In this scenario of creating a simple text file, I ran into a situation where, if the product saw a quote or a double-quote in the data, it started wrapping all the text fields in double-quotes. The request I put in asks them to provide a feature that leaves my data alone and does not interpret anything."
"At present, HelpSystems GoAnywhere MFT integrates with an antivirus solution, but it's a bit kludgy."
"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."
"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."
"GoAnywhere's interface could be a little more intuitive."
"The solution's support for the Unix platform and AS2 should be improved."
"Fortra needs to offer more use cases for GoAnywhere MFT during training."
"The product could be improved by being modular. There are more features in the core product than any client needs."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."
