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

"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."
"MOVEit is specially designed for file transfers, making it very user-friendly to transfer files to multiple platforms in an easy manner with flexible scheduling features."
"The product, MOVEit, is user friendly for anybody who is starting new in scheduling rather than working with other tools, and being on a Windows machine makes your life easier."
"The tool’s GUI is very simple."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Top of the list would be the huge collection of different path planning algorithms that are great and state of the art."
"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."
"We successfully migrated over 1500 websites using these products."
"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

"The product must improve its security features."
"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."
"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."
"MOVEit's pricing is a little high. Regarding pricing and licensing cost, I am not overall satisfied."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"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."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"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."
"The setup was complex for the administrators to get their head around how the templating worked."
"They should also study banking products for file transfers like Sterling Gateway Connect Direct/Express and incorporate it with them."
 

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."
"It's cost-effective."
"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."
