AWS Transfer for SFTP [EOL] vs MOVEit comparison

"Being able to have the S3 files as storage is most valuable. We can use S3 as storage instead of an SFTP server or a machine."

"The solution offers good data recovery."

"The solution has helped with collaboration in our organization."

"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 renaming and timestamp features are great."

"The tool’s GUI is very simple."

"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."

"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."

"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."

"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."

"The tool's UI should be pretty easy and straightforward. I would also like to see a simple audit report of the SFTP guest account that shows the amount of data transfers and security kind enabled."

"Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers."

"Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."

"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."

"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."

"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."

"The product must improve its security features."

"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."

"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."

"The initial setup is a bit difficult."

"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."

"It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance. If we had to build it by hand, we would win on cost there, but obviously, there is effort and time. In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."

"It's cost-effective."

"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."

"Technical support is only available with a paid license."

"I haven't really priced out many other products like this, but I feel it's reasonable. Their upgrade support after hours was going to be $6,000. I just made the decision to wing it and just do it during business hours and call support if there was a problem."
