MOVEit Valuable Features

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.

I really like the logging capability of MOVEit Transfer. Earlier, we had a Linux-based FTP server, but the challenge was that we never knew when somebody dropped a file. We didn't have that auditing and logging. We were sending files to our vendors, and their systems were picking them up, but they would say, "We didn't get the file." We didn't have good logging and tracing capability to prove that we delivered the files. MOVEit has good logging where it shows the service account and IP address. If a file is downloaded multiple times, it shows all the entries. You can go to each one and find out who downloaded it or which system account was used to download it and how many times it was downloaded. That is pretty powerful.

The solution has a couple of nice features. Top of the list would be the huge collection of different path planning algorithms that are great and state of the art. If something isn't working very well, you can choose a different algorithm. Usually, robotic guidance takes a lot of time and effort to build, but MOVEit allows you the flexibility to switch between different algorithms and figure out which one works best for you. It's also easy to model a new robot. If a hobbyist has made a robot from scratch and wants to assimilate and see how it will perform, traditional modeling software like SolidWorks and others do not have a good path for planning algorithms supported by them. MOVEit is a very good tool for modeling a new robot from scratch.

The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed.

It's simple to use in creating folders, and if I need to copy or move something, it's very quick. 

It's fairly simple for me to place specific files in three or four different locations.

Whereas with my other tools, I had to go to separate locations to upload, with this, I can stay where I am and then copy over or move.

MOVEit is a GUI-based and very fast and reliable tool. 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. If it's an authentication error, it tells you that. If the failure was because the password was incorrect, it gives you those details in the error logs.

When you download a file, it doesn't save anywhere on the local server. It creates a temporary file in the backend. MOVEit is architected in a manner where it downloads the file and immediately sends the file to the destination. So, you won't be able to reprocess the file from MOVEit itself. If you want to resend the file in case the transfer failed in between, you have to ask the source team to send the file again. So, there is a good thing and a bad thing about it. The good thing is that you don't have to worry about the disk space on the server on which you are hosting it. The bad thing is you have to go to the source team to ask to send the file again.

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. In that way, it helps me during the monitoring process, so I can categorize the scripts that are actively running or not running. That is one thing I really like about MOVEit.

The solution is stable. 

The dashboard is very precise.

There is a lot to like. 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. It's very flexible because people can log in via a web interface if they want to. If they have more of an automated approach, and if they want to send files back and forth, they can use FTPS or FTP. So, there are a lot of good options there.

The renaming and timestamp features are great and valuable, utilizing macros. Additionally, you can add encryption and decrypt files with encryption keys set up on MOVEit. Querying when and where file movement takes place adds an easy reference point when needed.

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.

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). View full review »
