We performed a comparison between MOVEit and Thru based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."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."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"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 convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"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 stability of Thru is very good."
"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."
"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."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"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."
"Something that I would like to see is better upgrade support. We had looked at getting help with an upgrade, and to do it after hours, it was going to be $6,000. It only takes 15 minutes to do. It'd be nice if the after-hour support was a little more reasonable."
"The initial setup of Thru needed an engineer to be involved."
