Product offers strong security and automation but needs improved scheduling features
MOVEit consists of multiple tools, with MOVEit Transfer and Automation being distinct components with different useful features. In Transfer, user access and file encryption are very secure. There is a DLP feature where data loss prevention terms and conditions can be restricted, ensuring no unauthorized data transmission. When files are placed in the transfer server, they are completely encrypted, and even administrators with access to the storage service cannot identify files due to different IDs. It is a well-developed, secure SFTP server storage server where both internal and external users can access. IP control allows restriction of user access from specific IPs to reduce unauthorized usage. Security protocols include account locking for wrong passwords, restrictions on multi-logins, and file type controls for uploads and downloads. Report generation is available for these activities. File sharing features exist through specific links, though SFTP transfers are recommended for enhanced security. MOVEit Automation enables scheduling of file operations, including file picking, format management, and destination placement. File renaming functions, new file selection, post-transfer file removal, and conditional transfers can be configured. Specific conditions can be defined within MOVEit Automation in a single configuration, with hardcoding options in XML following vendor templates. The solution features Key Vault for storing keys, facilitating easy monitoring and renewal when necessary, supporting PGP and SSH keys. It can connect to cloud buckets from platforms such as GCP, S3, or Azure blob storages, and provides user-friendly error codes for troubleshooting. While MOVEit can handle large file transfers, server capacity must be adequate for stable operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are consultants and end-users; I would recommend MOVEit because it's a great integration tool, I'm able to achieve whatever the requirements are, and it's also secured since it's in a cloud environment, so there won't be any loss of information."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
"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 most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"Top of the list would be the huge collection of different path planning algorithms that are great and state of the art."
"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 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."
"We successfully migrated over 1500 websites using these products."
"By using RepliWeb and custom scripts pre- and post-deploy to manage load balancing and application pools, we can deploy our websites with zero downtime."
"This product helped me a lot for deployments day and night."
"When we had this product set up, it helped us reduce the backlog by 40%, which helped us engage in other productive tasks for the organization."
 

Cons

"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."
"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."
"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."
"MOVEit's pricing is a little high. Regarding pricing and licensing cost, I am not overall satisfied."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"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."
"They should also study banking products for file transfers like Sterling Gateway Connect Direct/Express and incorporate it with them."
"The setup was complex for the administrators to get their head around how the templating worked."
"It failed sometimes and I had to restart the services."
"Maybe it would be great if the tool could have an analytics dashboard, with the total commitments and the number of rollbacks in a timeframe."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."
