A good file automation service with great additional features
Our primary use case for this solution is file automation. We receive many files and use MOVEit to automate how we receive them, where they go and how they appear at their destination. We maintain it on a server, creating Host connection points which can work with SFTP, Sharefiles, Azure, etc. It's…

Serves as a straightforward SFTP server that offers reasonably good support
I use TIBCO Managed File Transfer in my company since it is a straightforward SFTP server useful for API I think the product helped my company since it provided some standardized protocols and alleviated a custom-handled solution we were using. The most valuable feature of the solution is its…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"The log findings and troubleshooting on MOVEit are pretty easy. When you go to the logs, it clearly tells you what time a transfer happened, what time it failed, what is the source path, what is the destination path, and what is the failure reason. It's pretty straightforward."
"From an administration standpoint, it's very easy to manage, and I feel pretty confident in the security of the product. From an end-user standpoint also, it's very easy."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"The automation is generally very simple that helps with operational efficiency. Since we mainly created interfaces and scheduled transfers, the tool itself handled the file transfer automation."
"They have great multi-factor authentication for extra security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to do centralized administration."
"TIBCO has its own integration tool."
 

Cons

"In future releases, MOVEit could add support for some additional protocols. For example, I don't think they supported the SFTP or FTPS protocols at the time."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"We have had some challenges. Earlier when we were setting it up, a component called gateway, which runs in the DMV, was not working as expected. It was going down very often. That means most of our vendors were not able to connect using SFTP because that service was down. We had to put in a lot of monitoring to make sure if that goes down, there is some visibility instantaneously so that our system admins can go and do a restart."
"Something that I would like to see is better upgrade support. We had looked at getting help with an upgrade, and to do it after hours, it was going to be $6,000. It only takes 15 minutes to do. It'd be nice if the after-hour support was a little more reasonable."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"If the transfers are more or the file size is big, it takes more time. It doesn't have much capacity to process multiple files at the same time. It can get stuck or take a lot of time to process the files."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
"The UI could be better."
"Their cloud product is not yet stable."
"I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."
"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
"I haven't really priced out many other products like this, but I feel it's reasonable. Their upgrade support after hours was going to be $6,000. I just made the decision to wing it and just do it during business hours and call support if there was a problem."
"It's cost-effective."
"The price is very good for the complexity that the tool provides."
