KS
System Administrator at Agility
Provides high availability of clustering and valuable file transfer management features
The initial setup process is easy with the support of a 24-hour backend expert and available demos for installation and configuration. We can also refer to the documentation. It takes two days to complete. The deployment process involves server installation, configuring necessary reports, and publishing the system on the public internet. Initially, we created internal users with LtAP access. It enables control over file upload and download permissions for specific file types. The implementation, accessible through SFTP and HTTPS protocols, works well for secure file transfers. It requires three executives to deploy and one or two to maintain the product.

Project Manager at Cognizant
User adaptability impresses with room for enhanced reporting features
The solution lacks a flow view wherein you will not be able to see the integrated jobs in a flow diagram view. This becomes trickier to understand which flow is failing unless you were part of the design team. Reporting for MOVEit needs a lot more work. For example, if I have to pull a task report for a specific requirement such as its history and task attributes, the report doesn't come in a CSV format, which is consumable. It always comes in a scripted format. When you have to show the report to management, they don't understand the scripted format. They need everything in Excel. The reporting feature needs to work on having it in an Excel format. It has been pretty stable, but we were hit by malicious malware attacks in the last two years more comparatively. Depending upon the type of license that is owned and the support with the license, it is up to par with other leading marketing tools.

Pros

"The automation part of JSCAPE by Redwood is great because you can set up a scheduled delivery with files and be notified if the transfer was successful."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."
"Especially at the time of monitoring, it's a nice way to take a look at the script and take a look at run time, which gives enough information for the files that are getting picked or not."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
"The tool’s GUI is very simple."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"The product, MOVEit, is user friendly for anybody who is starting new in scheduling rather than working with other tools."
 

Cons

"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"With constant software releases and updates, detailed notifications and documentation on the improvements along with the comparison of the past and present features would be helpful to understand and use it better."
"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."
"The FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"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."
"The product must improve its security features."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"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."
"During version upgrades or feature deployments on MOVEit servers, which are handled by the sysadmin team, we encounter difficulties. The server sometimes becomes unresponsive or crashes, causing MOVEit jobs to fail and generating multiple tickets."
"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."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
"It's cost-effective."
"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."
