It is not good for large datasets. When we had to move millions of rows from one server to another, it totally choked.

Implementation was straight forward. We paid for 50 hours of professional service in case, we need help. We end using only 10 hours. I have only 1 month to convert over 120 scripts from FTP voyager to goanywhere. Old script was had written using bat files. Some of the batch file were written by some other person, who passed away. Documents for old script was not in details. With the professional service, I was able to convert all script within windows

This is an amazing software for sending files very conveniently. So we did not use any other software for this purpose. I am extremely happy with its services.

I've never used a product that handles file transfers in the way GoAnywhere does. I have used other SFTP servers and this is by far the most robust and easiest to use. I've used FileZilla, Cerberus and Windows for FTP services and this by far is easier to set up and manage than the other options.
