We performed a comparison between MOVEit and Thru based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"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 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 most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"The stability of Thru is very good."
"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."
"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."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"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."
"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."
"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 initial setup of Thru needed an engineer to be involved."
