Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."The automation is generally very simple that helps with operational efficiency. Since we mainly created interfaces and scheduled transfers, the tool itself handled the file transfer automation."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"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."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"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."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"The stability of Thru is very good."
"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."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"If the transfers are more or the file size is big, it takes more time. It doesn't have much capacity to process multiple files at the same time. It can get stuck or take a lot of time to process the files."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"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."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"The initial setup of Thru needed an engineer to be involved."
