MOVEit Reviews

Our primary use case for this solution is data analysis for bank files. For example, when we receive a file from a bank in the production region, we don't touch the production because it is a live environment. We write a pull and push script in MOVEit and rename some files when we push the files from one server to another. Additionally, Windows Scheduler is integrated with MOVEit jobs. Once there is a signal in the Zena station, MOVEit is called, and the respective pull and push of script and the execution takes place there.

The ability to select and move a file at once is very valuable. Additionally, the convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable.

The front end of the MOVEit should have a utility where the user can check job failures that occur when integrating MOVEit with another tool, like the ASG-Zena workstation. There should be some utility where users can have a detailed view of the failed task that is not there at the moment. Additionally, the logs of particular tasks could be included in the next release.

We have been using this solution for approximately five years and are currently using version 3.4.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 40 people use this solution in my organization.

We contacted support when we had a glitch with the system in the deployment phase and the support team reached out to us in a couple of days and resolved it.

The initial setup is a bit difficult because not all the users are techies aware of the setup of MOVEit. Since we have to create, segregate and integrate an environment for the MOVEit application, it is a bit complex. However, if a person is aware of that complexity, it'll be easy for them to work on it.

Implementation was done in-house and took approximately nine weeks.

The licensing fees are charged yearly.

We chose this solution because we needed a product to transfer files, and MOVEit is a file transfer protocol and one of the most renowned tools in the market. We decided to use it instead of other tools.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by improving the integration tools available with the product.

I primarily used MOVEit to transfer files within the company and to third-party servers.

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

There were some drawbacks with MOVEit's scheduling. In the next release, MOVEit should include the ability to check file availability.

I used MOVEit for four-and-a-half years.

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

Technical support is only available with a paid license.

MOVEit is a powerful tool, but it would be even better if it could enhance a few options. I would advise anybody thinking of implementing MOVEit to go through the options available and, before using it in production, test it within their non-production servers. I'd rate MOVEit nine out of ten.

On-premises

Our primary use case is for secure transfer. Within our organization, we have two different networks and there is no communication between these different networks. We use it if we need a file from one network to another network.

We also use it for the secure transfer of these files among the employees, which are not supposed to be shared over email.

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

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.

There should be more control. If you transfer some files, you can even include the person to whom you are sending this file. He can copy it, print it, and make changes into the file or not, so those permissions should be granted over that particular file, which are not as of now.

We have been using MOVEit for four years.

We don't have issues with stability or scalability.

Pricing is okay.

I would rate it a six out of ten.

In the next release, I would like to see more control over the documents when you send them out. I would also like to see increased file size and file extensions. They are very restricted file types that we can transfer using this solution.

On-premises

It is a secure managed file transfer using servers that allow exchange of large and sensitive data files. Good for sharing data in various kinds of files like spreadsheets, reports and software. The best part is the secure transfer using the managed servers as one does not have to worry about managing firewall ports to keep secure access. Data also gets encrypted on managed servers (at rest) and also during the transfer process (in flight).

Compressed data not managed very well. The reason for this is that the encryption logic does not work very well with the data that has been compressed using standard compression tools like zip, rar and gzip.

Makes sense for companies with large scale data sharing and transfer needs. With minimal setup one can establish secure file sharing and transfer access.
