Has improved data transfer reliability and supports automated scheduling to handle sensitive healthcare files securely
The best part of MOVEit is that we can schedule any job, specifying the time when jobs should run and when files will come from sources sending files between locations. MOVEit utilizes a shared drive where location-specific folders are created. Users place files in designated folder locations on the shared drive, and when jobs are scheduled, they execute automatically. MOVEit offers functionality to transform file formats between source and destination. If the destination requires a different file format, we can specify the desired file name, and the script will execute the transformation during transfer. MOVEit encryption features protect data during transfer. In healthcare environments, financial data and patient insurance information are encrypted before transmission to destination locations where they are decrypted, preventing data loss or unauthorized access. User authentication in MOVEit allows us to monitor which users are authorized to run specific jobs. This is specified in MOVEit scripts on the host side, and unauthorized users attempting to access data will fail authentication. The system handles live data through HL7 messages, including daily pharmacy and billing information. Cold feeds come from the integration engine and are processed through MOVEit in batches. Files accumulate throughout the day in the integration engine, which specifies merge times and file naming conventions. The batch is created at a designated time and transferred through MOVEit to its destination.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A significant advantage is that MOVEit eliminates the need for manual job monitoring and execution, as jobs are scheduled to run automatically based on scripts, with some running daily and others monthly, like insurance company billing processes that generate reports at month-end without manual intervention."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"The tool’s GUI is very simple."
"Within our organization, we have two different networks and there is no communication between these different networks, and we use MOVEit if we need a file from one network to another network, as well as for the secure transfer of these files among the employees, which are not supposed to be shared over email."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."
"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."
"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."
"We successfully migrated over 1500 websites using these products."
"This product helped me a lot for deployments day and night."
 

Cons

"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."
"The scheduling features need improvement as currently there are standard scheduling possibilities that could be enhanced with more options and features, such as automatically creating checksum files."
"I don't know about MOVEit, or how the server is set up, however, a lot of times, it used to go down, and I couldn't get onto the servers."
"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."
"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"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 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."
"They should also study banking products for file transfers like Sterling Gateway Connect Direct/Express and incorporate it with them."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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