GoAnywhere MFT — dependable, secure transfers.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates GoAnywhere MFT from other similar products?

Seriously, moving files securely isn’t just an IT task—it’s about protecting patients. GoAnywhere MFT delivered when we first tested it because it made secure transfers feel straightforward. Other tools required endless scripts and manual checks, but GoAnywhere gave us automation and clear tracking, so we always knew where files went and who accessed them. I remember setting up an automated pipeline for lab reports—it worked flawlessly without late-night fixes. That reliability, paired with strong encryption and audit trails, makes it more than just another transfer tool. It feels like a trusted partner in safeguarding sensitive hospital data

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I love most about GoAnywhere MFT is the peace of mind it brings. In the hospital, I don’t have to babysit file transfers or worry about security gaps. Knowing sensitive patient data moves safely and reliably lets me focus on insights, not sleepless nights over compliance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I’d like GoAnywhere MFT to improve its support for healthcare-specific standards like HL7 and FHIR. Having those built in would save us extra steps and make data exchanges between hospital systems smoother, faster, and more compliant.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

At the time I started with GoAnywhere MFT, I was skeptical—it looked like just another file transfer tool. But after setting up automated workflows for lab reports and research data, I realized how much time and stress it saved. For anyone considering it, my advice is to invest time upfront in learning the automation features; that’s where the magic happens. Don’t just use it as a secure “send button”—let it handle repetitive, sensitive exchanges in the background. Also, involve your compliance team early, so everything is aligned with regulations. Once configured, it truly feels like a dependable teammate handling critical hospital data.
