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

"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."

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

"The tool’s GUI is very simple."

"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."

"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."

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

"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."

More MOVEit pros

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."

"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."

"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."

"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."

"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"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."

"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."

"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More MOVEit cons

"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."

"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."

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

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."

"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."

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."

"The product is expensive."

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"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."

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
