Once GoAnywhere is set up as a middleware tool, it works well and reliable. However, getting it up and running requires more effort than we expected, and it requires customization in our landscape. The same goes for the learning curve, hard in the beginning, but once developers know the tool, the time to market is very quick. Read all insights and reviews for GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer

Overall, our experience with MOVEit has been positive. It's a dependable tool that just gets on with the job of securely moving files between systems and partners. From a business point of view, it gives confidence around security and auditability, and once transfers are set up they tend to run without much intervention. It's not the most modern-looking platform, but it feels stable and trusted by the teams who use it day to day.Read all insights and reviews for Progress MOVEit

I liked how OpenText Data Integrator (part of Trading Grid) feels like a “data traffic controller” for B2B and EDI flows. It translates data across EDI, APIs, and files while managing partners and monitoring integrations in real time. It’s very enterprise-grade and built for huge trading ecosystems.Read all insights and reviews for OpenText Data Integrator

As an administrator, I have very good experience with Axway Managed File Transfer. The platform is secure and reliable for large volumes of data transfer and also offers strong compliance, encryption and auditing functionality which are very critical for any corporate environment. It provides minimal distrubance once we have configured it initially and has excellent integration functions with existing systems.Read all insights and reviews for Axway Managed File Transfer
