MOVEit Valuable Features
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.
Its greatest strength is the ease of use. Compared to other online file transfer tools, it has a lot of convenient features and a user-friendly interface.
In my experience, I found it user-friendly and didn't encounter any major issues.
I appreciate MOVEit’s capability to transfer extremely large files. One instance involved successfully transferring a 70-gigabyte file, and although we haven’t attempted anything larger, every time we've needed to process a large file, MOVEit has handled it without issue. This ability to manage such large file transfers is something I really like about MOVEit Automation.
Another feature I value is MOVEit Transfer's logging functionality. Previously, when we used a Linux-based FTP server, we had no visibility into when files were dropped, and we lacked the auditing and logging capabilities. When sending files to vendors, their systems would sometimes claim not to have received them, and we had no way to verify or trace file delivery. MOVEit, however, provides robust logging that tracks service accounts and IP addresses, showing details like multiple file downloads. You can see who downloaded a file, the system account used, and how many times it was downloaded—this level of traceability is incredibly powerful.

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.
View full review »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.
View full review »It supports multiple channels. We primarily rely on HTTPS and SFTP. So, it has been effective.
The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow. Moving files from one place to another, renaming file structures, and changing file formats on the fly. You have control, and it's easy to configure. Doing this on an application requires a lot of code and requires deployment, etc.
The configuration is user-friendly.
View full review »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.
View full review »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.
View full review »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.
View full review »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.
View full review »MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness.

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

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).
