MOVEit delivers ROI in the first year through cost savings, improved satisfaction, and scalability despite implementation complexity.
Sentiment score
7.1
Organizations achieve significant ROI with webMethods.io, citing reduced manual work and integration time, despite potential cost considerations.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score

MOVEit support is generally responsive and knowledgeable, though some users report slow service; GitHub inquiries receive prompt replies.
Sentiment score
6.6
webMethods.io customer service is praised for quick support, though responses vary, with suggestions for localized and faster service.
For the cloud environment, they had taken only 16x5 support, but for the on-premises, they had taken 24x7 support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
MOVEit scales effectively, managing increased workloads without hardware upgrades, despite storage needs due to large file sizes.
Sentiment score
7.2
webMethods.io is highly scalable for cloud solutions and adaptable for large integrations, despite licensing and configuration challenges.
The scalability of MOVEit is not an issue; it scales up easily to handle large volumes of data when customers need to transfer it.
Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Vertically, scalability is fine, however, I have not expanded horizontally with the product yet.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
MOVEit is stable but can experience security and network issues, requiring troubleshooting for optimal performance, especially with external factors.
Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable and reliable with minor issues, enhanced by frequent updates, though rapid changes can be problematic.
I have not faced any downtime or outages with it anywhere.
We were hit by malicious malware attacks in the last two years more comparatively.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

MOVEit needs enhanced data management, better scalability, improved security, and user training to fully optimize its capabilities.
webMethods.io needs better documentation, stability, integration, performance, and user-friendly features, including cost-effective licensing and advanced capabilities.
Improving SharePoint connectivity usage, which has limitations, would open up considerable usage and enhance MOVEit significantly.
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.
We would also want to add new capabilities, and incorporating artificial intelligence could be useful as well.
webMethods.io lacks advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, so my customers need to use something additional.
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.
 

Setup Cost

MOVEit is viewed as cost-effective with yearly fees; technical support and upgrades incur additional costs.
webMethods.io is costly, ideal for big enterprises; licensing complex; negotiations common, but valued for its capabilities and support.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
 

Valuable Features

MOVEit ensures secure, user-friendly file transfers with automation, robust security features, cloud integration, and comprehensive troubleshooting capabilities.
webMethods.io provides scalable integration, intuitive API management, extensive connector support, robust security, and seamless connectivity for complex integrations.
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.
The file transfer utility of MOVEit is most user-friendly and easy to understand.
The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

Featured Reviews

Kiran Raju L - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
