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."Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."
"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."
"The user interface feels easy to use."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"It is platform-independent and can flawlessly work on any operating system using the latest security standards."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"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."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"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."
"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."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"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."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."
"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"We have had some challenges. Earlier when we were setting it up, a component called gateway, which runs in the DMV, was not working as expected. It was going down very often. That means most of our vendors were not able to connect using SFTP because that service was down. We had to put in a lot of monitoring to make sure if that goes down, there is some visibility instantaneously so that our system admins can go and do a restart."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"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."
"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 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."
