Why It’s Worth Migrating to a Better MFT

Is your existing Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution failing to keep pace with modern security, efficiency and budgetary needs? 

Companies whose existing MFT solution no longer meets modern security, compliance, or usability needs should consider trading up to the world’s leading MFT solution, GoAnywhere MFT.    

GoAnywhere MFT makes migration straightforward with dedicated tools and services. 

The Case to Replace 

Organisations rely on Managed File Transfer to securely exchange sensitive data with partners, customers, and internal systems. However, some legacy solutions struggle to keep pace with today’s demands.  

Common reasons for replacement include: 

• Volume Pricing Gotchas: some MFTs lure customers with seemingly low initial prices, only to rapidly increase costs as the number of users, or the amount and size of transfers, increase. Budgeting becomes difficult as their MFT licence grows ever more costly.  

• Security Gaps: Some MFT tools lack advanced encryption, secure protocols, or modern authentication methods, leaving organisations exposed to cyber threats. 

• New Compliance Requirements: Increasing government and industry regulation requires auditable, automated file transfer processes. Some MFT systems fall short in providing detailed logging and compliance reporting. 

• Inefficiencies: Maintaining outdated solutions can be costly, requiring manual scripting and complex workarounds. This slows down IT teams and increases the risk of human error. 

• Inadequate Scalability: As businesses grow, file transfer volumes increase. Legacy solutions may not scale effectively, leading to bottlenecks and downtime. 

• Poor User Experience: Modern enterprises expect intuitive interfaces and automation. If the current solution is cumbersome, adoption and productivity suffer.
