Fortra · Enterprise automated secure file transfer

GoAnywhere MFT review

GoAnywhere MFT is Fortra's managed file transfer platform for centralising, encrypting and automating file exchange across on-premises and cloud environments. It targets IT and security teams rather than deal-room end users.

What it does well

  • +A modular licensing structure lets customers add capabilities such as advanced workflows or secure mail as needed.
  • +Multiple encryption standards including AES, PGP and SSH are supported natively.
  • +The platform scales from single-server deployments to distributed enterprise environments.

Where it falls short

  • No pricing is published; every deployment requires a custom quote from Fortra.
  • Configuring advanced workflows typically requires dedicated IT or MFT administration skills.

Pricing

GoAnywhere MFT pricing is available only on request through Fortra sales, with modular licensed add-ons priced separately depending on required capabilities.

Security and compliance

GoAnywhere MFT secures files using AES, OpenPGP/GPG, SSL and SSH encryption, and can run in a FIPS 140-2 compliant mode for regulated environments.
