Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

MOVEit and webMethods.io are competitors in the managed file transfer and integration platform space. MOVEit is strong in file processing and security, while webMethods.io offers comprehensive integration and API management features, giving it an edge in situations requiring versatile connectivity.

Features: MOVEit provides secure managed file transfers with robust encryption and detailed logging capabilities. It supports on-premises operations and includes options for automation and file management. webMethods.io offers strong integration versatility, excelling in connecting various applications and services with robust API management. It supports multiple deployments, including hybrid and public cloud, enhancing its adaptability.

Room for Improvement: MOVEit could improve in compressed data handling and permission controls. Technical issues like memory leaks and the MOVEit Transfer Gateway's performance need addressing. Users also request Google Cloud connectivity and more protocol support like MQ. webMethods.io needs clearer documentation and better updates for emerging technologies such as AI. Its high licensing costs and complex integrations pose challenges, and version upgrade processes could be more efficient.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: MOVEit performs well in on-premises and hybrid cloud environments but lacks broader cloud deployment support. While customer support is generally positive, resolving complex queries can be slow. webMethods.io provides extensive support across on-premises and cloud deployments, including public cloud, offering flexibility. Customer feedback on support responsiveness varies from excellent to needing improvement.

Pricing and ROI: MOVEit is seen as cost-effective, offering good ROI by streamlining older systems and enhancing process efficiencies. Its licensing is generally well-received, albeit with room for improvement. On the other hand, webMethods.io's pricing is often considered high, with its modular structure sometimes causing confusion. Its valued integration and API management capabilities can justify the higher cost for larger enterprises. Both solutions deliver ROI, but the cost-value balance varies based on specific business needs and deployment scales.

Reliable, has a simple GUI, and provides brilliant automation capabilities

It is very easy to configure the setup. MOVEit is a reliable tool. I have not seen as many issues with it as in Globalscape. The tool’s GUI is very simple. I can do anything from the web. I need not log in to the desktop version. The automation capabilities are brilliant. We can create and add any kind of schedule. We can create schedules and have them run on a specific day. For example, we can run the schedule on the third and fourth business days or the first seven business days. We can run schedules for every 10, 15, or 20 minutes. When we pick a file, the tool creates a temporary directory in the MOVEit server. When the file is sent to the destination, it does not store the file inside the system. The moment the files get picked up, the tool delivers them. We did not face many challenges while integrating the tool into our environment. It is a really good product. Even if we face any issues, we can easily resolve them because the errors we see are self-explanatory.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The renaming and timestamp features are great."

"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 tool’s GUI is very simple."

"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."

"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."

More MOVEit pros

"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."

"The performance is good."

"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."

"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."

"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."

"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."

"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."

"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"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."

"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 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."

"The initial setup is a bit difficult."

"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."

"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."

"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."

More MOVEit cons

"I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance."

"The licensing cost is high compared to other options."

"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"I would like to see the price improve."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."

"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."

"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."

More webMethods.io cons

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."

"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."

"It's cost-effective."

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."

"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
