Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite and MOVEit compete in data integration and transfer capabilities. SEEBURGER has the upper hand in integration flexibility, while MOVEit is preferred for its logging and handling of large file transfers.

Features: SEEBURGER provides strong integration capabilities across various protocols and platforms, automation, and customization for process optimization. It supports SAP integration and delivers EDI solutions. MOVEit offers user-friendly file transfer capabilities, excellent logging, and high-speed uploads, enhancing file transfer management.

Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER can improve error logging, protocol adapter flexibility, and reduce updates for smoother operations, along with better cloud integration and UI enhancements. MOVEit could enhance alert features, cloud connectivity, and address Java system limitations like memory leaks. Both systems can improve support for new technologies and monitoring tools.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SEEBURGER supports mainly on-premises and some cloud deployments, with responsive but variable customer service. MOVEit allows mixed deployment environments and reliable support through a ticket system but could improve real-time resolution and communication clarity.

Pricing and ROI: SEEBURGER's pricing is mid-level, adjustable by system size and modules. Despite costs, its efficiency in automation and integration justifies the expense, offering good ROI. MOVEit is seen as cost-effective, with reasonable annual licensing, delivering ROI via automation and reduced manual efforts, enhancing operational efficiency.

Gijish Vikraman

Manager - Integration (Supply Chain) at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

Provides the ability to securely transfer very large files and has great logging capability

We've faced some challenges with MOVEit as well. During the initial setup, we encountered issues with the MOVEit Transfer Gateway component, which operates in the DMZ. It frequently went down, causing disruptions in SFTP connectivity for most of our vendors. As a result, we had to implement extensive monitoring to ensure we received instant visibility whenever the gateway failed, allowing our system admins to respond quickly and restart the service. Another issue stems from the fact that MOVEit is a Java-based product, and it seems to have a memory leak, leading to system slowness and unresponsiveness at times. To mitigate this, we had to schedule weekly restarts to clear out memory, which remains an ongoing process because, without these restarts, we wouldn't have a responsive system. These are two key challenges we’ve encountered with MOVEit Transfer. Regarding MOVEit Automation, a job is typically triggered as soon as a file arrives, and it looks for the file, matches it, and moves it to the destination. However, if the expected file doesn't arrive, say on a Tuesday at 8:00 AM due to a job failure or someone forgetting to place the file, we need better visibility. Currently, MOVEit Automation offers limited capabilities for this scenario. We rely on error codes that indicate when no file was found, and we've built an email alert system around this, but for complex schedules—like jobs running on the 10th of each month—the system becomes ambiguous and occasionally generates false alerts. While MOVEit is not designed as a notification system, better alerting features would be incredibly valuable. I'd also like to see Google Cloud connectivity in future updates. MOVEit has been expanding its connectors, initially supporting Azure, followed by AWS, but connectors for Google Cloud Platform are still missing. Adding this capability would be a great enhancement. Another improvement I'd welcome is the ability to interact with message brokers. Currently, MOVEit handles file transfers and supports HTTP calls, meaning you can invoke APIs or download files over HTTP/HTTPS protocols. However, I’d like to see support for messaging protocols like MQ or AMQP. These protocols would make the platform more versatile, particularly for integrations where we need to pull messages from a queue and create files. IBM offers this capability, and if MOVEit could add it, it would make the product even more feature-rich and useful for our needs.

Mgr Value Chain Integration/EDI at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees

Great end-to-end integration, data mapping, and communication protocols

At this moment, everything is working fine. When we are talking to them, when we are trying to bring all this mapping in-house, right now, SEEBURGER is doing everything for us. However, when we are thinking of going onto the cloud, so they are not using any of AWS or Azure which are more stable. They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The tool’s GUI is very simple."

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

"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."

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

"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."

More MOVEit pros

"The solution helps us automate processes, more on the insurance side. Where they used to have to babysit monthly files, because of size, they don't have to do that with SEEBURGER BIS. They just run the monthly process. Files get collected, translated, and sent to the proper systems, so the babysitting is gone."

"We can use it to script and monitor processes."

"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."

"It's the reliability. And the message tracking is quite good, where we can go in and see if we have an issue."

"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."

"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."

"If SEEBURGER plans to do something, they will meet their target. We haven't been disappointed by them at all. For example, we had six trading partners to onboard and they said, "We'll make it happen," and they did make it happen. They did exactly what they said they would do. That's a really positive thing."

"Another aspect that we employed in the last year-and-a-half has been their CMA platform component, which hooks to the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) front end. We've been able to set up an automatic testing process for our partners."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pros

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The initial setup is a bit difficult."

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

"The product must improve its security features."

"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."

More MOVEit cons

"In some of the other tools out there in the market, you can create one service and use that service without creating a copy. That kind of capability currently doesn't exist in this solution."

"On the server side, there are a lot of administration and configuration files that you need to go in and do maintenance on. You have to find them in a certain folder so it's very error-prone and it can be a little time consuming unless it's documented. They could pull some of those individual configuration files into the product itself where there's a better user interface for that."

"In the BIS, if I want to have some API functionalities, that is a separate tool. The integration between the API tool and the BIS is not that straightforward. If they were to combine these tools and give us one suite, that would be helpful. Today I have a lot of partners onboard. I have something like 50,000 partners doing API transactions. If I want to introduce a new tool for API management, I have to do a lot of workarounds. But if it were integrated well within the existing suite, it could be straightforward for me."

"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."

"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening. So we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER. We only get a message that something has failed... we have to open a ticket with SEEBURGER for them to tell us exactly what the issue is... I would like us to be able to be more self-sufficient."

"The speed of development needs improvement. If you acquire any customization, it can be a slightly slow process. I would like to see more flexibility around customizations. The time frame right now depends on the sophistication and customization, but we have to go through a process of getting them to develop, implement, and test it. This might take a couple of weeks. If it was a simpler system to customize, the time could probably be cut by half or down by even 25 percent of what it would normally take."

"They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see."

"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

"It has a very goofy pricing model in the sense that they have so many components and it's not very clear what components you require to do your work. When you ask for that, you learn that there's a surcharge for them. It's not that you buy a product and you can use all the compatibilities. They have all these different bits and pieces of it and you have to pay extra for all those things."

"We pay maintenance of between $75,000 and $100,000 per year, per box."

"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."

"The pricing is cheap. In fact, when I saw the pricing, I thought, "Really? What's the catch?" But the functionality that we get out of it, for the price we pay, is great value."

"The way they have their licensing structure set up, they have a lot of different modules. For us, we did not really know if we were licensed for certain things or not. We had to reach out to them multiple times to tell them that we were looking for this or that capability. We had to buy licenses for different things at different points in time, not knowing that we could have it bundled initially."

"Price and licensing are comparable to other systems. It's well-priced and simple. It's not user-based or anything. It's just per seat, per system. So, it's pretty straight forward. Because it's per system, one system is enough. However, if you want to make it larger, then you can grow with it."

"I did a review of other options out there, as we moved into the future and our SAP implementation, that this would be the right solution. It was very comparable to other manage services out there. Thus, there wasn't any clear-cut reason to go in another direction."

"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."
