## Reviews

### "Excellent powerful tool steps up for any task.    Great support,  great features,  reasonable price." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 November 2017* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use this tool to deliver thousands of media files to a pool of 5000 destinations each day.   The files absolutely have to be there, or you have to know and escalate.   This tool never goes down, never fails to record in the database every event so problems are solved immediately.   Replaces serv-u, and a host of utility tools.   With so many destinations, none of which is in our control, we need a killer tool like this.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Scalable and powerful delivers files from requests in our database.     Orders are fulfilled reliably to almost any set of receivers.    SFTP FTPS and FTP,   Virtual files,  sync with remotes automatically.    Full powerful logging and tracing of issues.      Monitors,   watch for something to happen in some folder(s) and do x.   Triggers -  If something happens,  x user logs in,  y renames file,  database is z...    So easy..   And unlimited power.    REST/Soap in the box.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We use this tool to send files,  post for pickup, sync,  post via HTTP,  rest and api,  managing media transcode tasks  and emailing notices for pickup with links to files and thumbnails.
> 
> **Cons**: Clustering and failover is not free.    Slightly harder to customize a webclients experience without hitting the css.   Quirks in variables  ${ var }    .    Java based.    Occasionally need to get into projects.    Need to drop into GACMD for oddball user creation.
> 
> Automates reliably many difficult things.

### "An excellent tool for managing a large number of file transfer jobs" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *7 January 2019* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software makes it easy to have many timed jobs running hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, with a nice overview of how many jobs succeeded or failed. It has a graphical "programming language" with a set of convenient functions for handling and manipulating strings and numbers and file metadata. The software can use a large number of transfer protocols, including FTP, HTTP(S), WebDAV, Windows share, SFTP.
> 
> **Cons**: The FTP funtionality is somewhat limited, particularly in checking for the existence of remote files and directiories, and only downloading those that differ from local files. The scripting language is a bit limited in the number of functions available. Running an executable and capturing its output into a variable or rowset is somewhat convoluted.
> 
> We have only used the Director part of the software. It replaced an unwieldy regime of various scripts that mainly copied data between external and internal servers. It has enabled us to greatly increase the number of running jobs without losing track, and to move data analysis jobs and workflows into GoAnywhere. The built-in modules for FTP and other file transfer protocols make it easy to construct file transfer jobs that would be cumbersome in a scripting language. The daily reports make it easy to follow up any failed jobs.
