Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."The job scheduling and file transfer are two major, important features."
"It has a nice dashboard for loading up the file transfers, so it's easy to follow the success or failure rates of the operations."
"There's another feature called Workload Archiving, where the data for all the jobs can be stored for however many days that we want, which is very useful for any historical analytics."
"This solution has a vast amount of features and with every new release, there are lots of new features introduced. The application has high availability—we have multiple customers and it's highly available. On an application level, if something goes down with the primary, then the application goes over to the secondary, so it's very, very easy to do disaster recovery. From an application integration point of view, it has a lot of APIs, rich APIs. Every month, they are releasing new APIs and new updates, like Java, but more than that. Now they are introducing a couple more APIs, which you can use to integrate your controlling environment with any applications you want."
"Dashboard and recovery are the features I found most valuable in the solution."
"The file transfer, database, and integration features are the most valuable."
"What I like best about BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer is that it makes transfers more secure and faster. It has a recovery feature during failed file transfers."
"The most valuable thing is that it works as advertised. We don't take advantage of some of the features like we should because that's not our primary role and responsibility in the environment that we manage. We only want to make sure that a file gets to where it was supposed to go, or we pull in a file and it comes to us correctly."
"We use SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server for internal file transfer."
"The only improvement I would suggest is the license pricing should be a little reduced. Apart from that, I don't see anything else as a major concern with the tool right now."
"Before we transfer files we have to make the connection profile first for MFT. If we did not have to do this and send the transfer files directly, that would be useful."
"An area for improvement in BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer is integration. It should be compatible with more solutions. It should have integrations with newer applications as well."
"Scalability is something that needs to be improved."
"We'd like it to be easier to maintain the administrative side."
"This solution could be improved by making it possible to better control GUI when interfacing with other systems."
"We're only using the functionality that we need to use. However, we've had an opportunity to work with one application owner here who wanted to do some transfers in the cloud and things like that. I know that there were some challenges on that, but they finally got all that set up. There was a learning curve though."
"Their support can be improved. I would like them to provide support in Spanish and have more knowledge."
"The solution’s technical support should be improved."
