It is very easy to configure the setup. MOVEit is a reliable tool. I have not seen as many issues with it as in Globalscape. The tool’s GUI is very simple. I can do anything from the web. I need not log in to the desktop version. The automation capabilities are brilliant. We can create and add any kind of schedule. We can create schedules and have them run on a specific day. For example, we can run the schedule on the third and fourth business days or the first seven business days. We can run schedules for every 10, 15, or 20 minutes. When we pick a file, the tool creates a temporary directory in the MOVEit server. When the file is sent to the destination, it does not store the file inside the system. The moment the files get picked up, the tool delivers them. We did not face many challenges while integrating the tool into our environment. It is a really good product. Even if we face any issues, we can easily resolve them because the errors we see are self-explanatory.

Whether MOVEit is the right choice depends on the specific file transfer requirements. There are multiple tools out there, each with its own features. It's important to choose the tool that best suits your particular needs. Moreover, it's relatively easy to learn; it is not overly difficult. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. It's easy to use and very user-friendly. It is easy to pick up. Any user, even those new to the tool, can quickly understand the basic features. The logging and monitoring within the tool are also well designed. But, every tool has room for improvement, which is why I wouldn't give it a perfect score.

I know the only thing I don't know about MOVEit is that we don't use it to its full potential. My business unit, our business unit, is a small one. We only use it to upload software to clients both externally and internally so they can download it. I am not familiar with many of the features it offers, and neither are many of the administrators. We were not really trained on it. We were given this tool and left to figure it out, and that is what we did. I am not sure if there is a feature where you can hide the software instead of having to delete it, because sometimes I need to put out a release and if I want to do it the day before, I could hide it and then just flip a switch and turn it on. That's something I used to be able to do with my previous solution. That was the only thing I couldn't hide the software because I couldn't figure out how to and no one else could either. I spoke with the two admins who were dealing with it, and they, too, couldn't figure out where to hide it. If I put something out there and put it out there too soon and a client sees it, I have to quickly go in and delete it and then re-upload it instead of having a feature that lets me just check this box and hide it, that would be a good thing to have. 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.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Aug 11, 2024

Valuable Features

"The tool’s GUI is very simple."
"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."
"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."

Room for Improvement

"The product must improve its security features."
"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."
"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."

Pricing

"It's cost-effective."
"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."
