Which Software is Right for You?
PGP encryption vs. managed file transfer software
Do you need Open PGP software, or would an all-in-one MFT solution better address your business requirements? Both Open PGP Studio and GoAnywhere MFT are encryption solutions with great features that allow you to encrypt and decrypt your file transfers.
What is Open PGP?
Open PGP is an encryption standard. It uses asymmetric (public key) cryptography and addresses issues around authentication of data and non-repudiation through the ability to "sign" files via embedded digital signatures.
These features deliver a high level of data protection to organizations, making PGP a popular encryption method.
GoAnywhere MFT
On-Premises MFT and Secure FTP
GoAnywhere MFT is ideal for organizations looking for a Windows-based on-premises MFT solution to meet complex and mission critical file transfer requirements.
GoAnywhere MFTaaS
GoAnywhere MFTaaS is a cloud-managed file transfer solution. Just like the on-premises deployment of GoAnywhere MFT, the solution streamlines, secures, and automates the exchange of data between systems, employees, customers, and trading partners.
The MFTaaS option removes the uncertainty of managing cloud infrastructure on your own and does not require any on-premises software installation or maintenance. GoAnywhere MFTaaS handles all setup, hosting, and management – all you need to do is log in and start securely transferring your business-critical files.
