AWS Transfer for SFTP [EOL] vs MOVEit comparison

"The solution offers good data recovery."

"Being able to have the S3 files as storage is most valuable. We can use S3 as storage instead of an SFTP server or a machine."

"The solution has helped with collaboration in our organization."

"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."

"The product, MOVEit, is user friendly for anybody who is starting new in scheduling rather than working with other tools."

"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."

"A significant advantage is that MOVEit eliminates the need for manual job monitoring and execution, as jobs are scheduled to run automatically based on scripts, with some running daily and others monthly, like insurance company billing processes that generate reports at month-end without manual intervention."

"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."

"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 most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."

"Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers."

"The tool's UI should be pretty easy and straightforward. I would also like to see a simple audit report of the SFTP guest account that shows the amount of data transfers and security kind enabled."

"Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."

"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."

"The scheduling features need improvement as currently there are standard scheduling possibilities that could be enhanced with more options and features, such as automatically creating checksum files."

"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."

"The product must improve its security features."

"With the new other vendors coming up, they come up with certain features, in addition to the file transfer. But MOVEit does not develop their product. That's why we are looking out for other solutions."

"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."

"It would be beneficial to include a feature that allows you to hide items and not be locked out if someone has made too many password attempts."

"It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance. If we had to build it by hand, we would win on cost there, but obviously, there is effort and time. In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."

"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."

"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."

"It's cost-effective."

"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
