Akshatha Ramesh - PeerSpot reviewer

Good automation, no complex coding, and high-level data encryption
When it comes to performance and scalability, JSCAPE is a highly reliable software, however, I would suggest a few improvements: 1. The documentation needs a revamp for a better understanding of the features of the tool. 2. Customer service can be offered on call or chat. 3. The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial. 4. UI can be improved in terms of look and feel. 5. Documentation should be provided for a majority of newly released features as these can be difficult for a layman to use without proper instructions.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"The JSCAPE MFT Server offers support for diverse protocols such as FTP(S), SFTP, SCP, AFTP, OFTP, and TFPT."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"It is a secure managed file transfer using servers that allow exchange of large and sensitive data files, with data encrypted on managed servers at rest and also during the transfer process in flight."
"Within our organization, we have two different networks and there is no communication between these different networks, and we use MOVEit if we need a file from one network to another network, as well as for the secure transfer of these files among the employees, which are not supposed to be shared over email."
"The product, MOVEit, is user friendly for anybody who is starting new in scheduling rather than working with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"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."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
 

Cons

"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"It covered the essentials but was overly complex, expensive, made it difficult to quickly implement solutions, and disliked by developers."
"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."
"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"Even our lead software engineers who have years of experience and understand the architecture, find it very cumbersome to use."
"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."
"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."
"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 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."
"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"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."
