Find out in this report how the two Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The automation feature is a very valuable feature as the associates do not have to worry about performing repetitive tasks (i.e. endpoint security scans on a daily basis) that would take several hours to complete on a daily basis."
"ActiveBatch can automate predictable, repeatable processes very well. There is no real trick to what ActiveBatch does. ActiveBatch does exactly what you would expect a scheduling piece of software to do. It does it in a timely manner and does it with very little outside interference and fanfare. It runs when it is supposed to, and I don't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to double check it."
"We leverage the solution's native integrations regularly. We have to get files from a remote server outside the organization, and even send things outside the organization. We use a lot of its file manipulation and SFTP functionality for contacting remote servers."
"It can connect to a number of third-party/legacy systems."
"The user interface is really incredible."
"It is very useful in sending confidential files through FPP servers."
"Managing the workload and monitoring the tasks were very difficult with manual interventions. Now, by using ActiveBatch, the process is automated and it runs tasks on a scheduled basis."
"For developers, it is easy to orchestrate the workflows and the integration has been very easy."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"The JSCAPE MFT Server offers support for diverse protocols such as FTP(S), SFTP, SCP, AFTP, OFTP, and TFPT."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"One thing I've noticed is that navigation can be difficult unless you are familiar with the structure that we have in place. If someone else had to look at our ActiveBatch console and find a job, they might not know where to find it."
"They could provide an easier installation guide or technical support to the organizations during the installation process."
"There is this back and forth, where ActiveBatch says, "Your Oracle people should be dealing with this," and Oracle people say, "No, we don't know anything about ActiveBatch." Then, it all falls back on me as to what happens. Nobody is taking responsibility. This is the biggest failing for ActiveBatch."
"I have faced struggles to understand, set up the tool, and implement it in my early days as a new user."
"The documentation is very limited, and it can be improved."
"Providing some detailed training materials could be very helpful for new users who have very limited technical information about the tool."
"A cloud option is not provided as a free feature, making it a costly solution for smaller organizations."
"There are very few documents that provide us with detailed information on the troubleshooting of errors that occur during integration with the existing environment."
"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."
