Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

MOVEit and JSCAPE by Redwood compete in the secure managed file transfer category. JSCAPE appears to have the upper hand with its advanced automation and integration features that cater to extensive enterprise needs.

Features: MOVEit focuses on handling extremely large file transfers with robust logging and monitoring capabilities, enabling efficient file delivery tracking. It provides options for automated scheduling, which improves operational efficiency. JSCAPE stands out with its advanced automation through triggers, allowing businesses to automate workflows easily. It offers accelerated file transfers using the AFT protocol for faster delivery. JSCAPE also supports a wide range of protocols and provides strong encryption features.

Room for Improvement: MOVEit struggles with integration and scalability, encountering memory leaks and cumbersome monitoring processes. Users desire better alert systems and expanded protocol support. JSCAPE is often criticized for its complex user interface and inadequate documentation, with calls for a simpler setup and improved reporting features. Additionally, JSCAPE faces challenges in customization and efficiently handling increased operational demand.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: MOVEit offers On-premises and Hybrid Cloud deployment solutions with mixed reviews regarding its customer service, praising promptness while others note sluggish responses. JSCAPE offers diverse deployment options, including Hybrid, Public, and Private Cloud, making it flexible for various environments, though initial setup can be challenging. JSCAPE's customer service is reliable but could improve in response times and support diversity.

Pricing and ROI: MOVEit is generally considered cost-effective, with users acknowledging quick ROI due to operational improvements and infrastructure replacement. Conversely, JSCAPE is seen as expensive, leading smaller businesses to evaluate costs versus value, as its automation can drive further innovation investment. Users are encouraged to consider if JSCAPE's features justify the pricing relative to business needs.

Fast file transfers, good security, and helpful automation

Installation and configuration of JSCAPE is a bit complicated, providing the proper document helps to understand the tool and gain more knowledge on its features. The pricing of the JSCAPE MFT server seems higher considering some smaller businesses with a limited amount of budgets. To make it easier, the admin log and reporting system should be improved. I would appreciate it if the help and support team could more actively assist the users to resolve their Issues. Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI.

User adaptability impresses with room for enhanced reporting features

The solution lacks a flow view wherein you will not be able to see the integrated jobs in a flow diagram view. This becomes trickier to understand which flow is failing unless you were part of the design team. Reporting for MOVEit needs a lot more work. For example, if I have to pull a task report for a specific requirement such as its history and task attributes, the report doesn't come in a CSV format, which is consumable. It always comes in a scripted format. When you have to show the report to management, they don't understand the scripted format. They need everything in Excel. The reporting feature needs to work on having it in an Excel format. It has been pretty stable, but we were hit by malicious malware attacks in the last two years more comparatively. Depending upon the type of license that is owned and the support with the license, it is up to par with other leading marketing tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."

"It is platform-independent and can flawlessly work on any operating system using the latest security standards."

"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."

"Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."

"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."

"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."

"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."

More JSCAPE by Redwood pros

"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."

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

"MOVEit is specially designed for file transfers, making it very user-friendly to transfer files to multiple platforms in an easy manner with flexible scheduling features."

"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."

"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."

"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 most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."

More MOVEit pros

Cons

"The GUI has to be enhanced."

"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."

"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."

"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."

"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."

"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."

"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."

"Setup is time-consuming."

More JSCAPE by Redwood cons

"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."

"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."

"The scheduling features need improvement as currently there are standard scheduling possibilities that could be enhanced with more options and features, such as automatically creating checksum files."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More MOVEit cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."

"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."

"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."
