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

"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 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."
"Top of the list would be the huge collection of different path planning algorithms that are great and state of the art."
"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 tool’s GUI is very simple."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"We successfully migrated over 1500 websites using these products."
"This product helped me a lot for deployments day and night."
"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."
"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

"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."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
"If the transfers are more or the file size is big, it takes more time. It doesn't have much capacity to process multiple files at the same time. It can get stuck or take a lot of time to process the files."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"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."
"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."
"In future releases, MOVEit could add support for some additional protocols. For example, I don't think they supported the SFTP or FTPS protocols at the time."
"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."
"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

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