We performed a comparison between JSCAPE by Redwood and MOVEit based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We can send the data quickly and securely."
"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."
"The user interface feels easy to use."
"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 speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."
"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."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"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."
"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."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"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."
"Support for more complicated workflows, such as conditional logic or branching, could be added to allow users to create more advanced automation processes."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."
"With constant software releases and updates, detailed notifications and documentation on the improvements along with the comparison of the past and present features would be helpful to understand and use it better."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
"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."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
