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.

Good automation, no complex coding, and high-level data encryption

When it comes to performance and scalability, JSCAPE is a highly reliable software, however, I would suggest a few improvements: 1. The documentation needs a revamp for a better understanding of the features of the tool. 2. Customer service can be offered on call or chat. 3. The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial. 4. UI can be improved in terms of look and feel. 5. Documentation should be provided for a majority of newly released features as these can be difficult for a layman to use without proper instructions.

Reliable, has a simple GUI, and provides brilliant automation capabilities

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface feels easy to use."

"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."

"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."

"It is easy to transfer large sets of files."

"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."

"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."

"The automation part of JSCAPE by Redwood is great because you can set up a scheduled delivery with files and be notified if the transfer was successful."

"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."

More JSCAPE by Redwood pros

"The renaming and timestamp features are great."

"The tool’s GUI is very simple."

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

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

"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."

"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."

More MOVEit pros

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."

"The GUI has to be enhanced."

"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."

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

"Support for more complicated workflows, such as conditional logic or branching, could be added to allow users to create more advanced automation processes."

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

"The user interface (UI) could be improved."

"Setup is time-consuming."

More JSCAPE by Redwood cons

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

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

"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."

"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."

"It's cost-effective."
