Technical Lead at HCLSoftware
Has improved data transfer reliability and supports automated scheduling to handle sensitive healthcare files securely
The best part of MOVEit is that we can schedule any job, specifying the time when jobs should run and when files will come from sources sending files between locations. MOVEit utilizes a shared drive where location-specific folders are created. Users place files in designated folder locations on the shared drive, and when jobs are scheduled, they execute automatically. MOVEit offers functionality to transform file formats between source and destination. If the destination requires a different file format, we can specify the desired file name, and the script will execute the transformation during transfer. MOVEit encryption features protect data during transfer. In healthcare environments, financial data and patient insurance information are encrypted before transmission to destination locations where they are decrypted, preventing data loss or unauthorized access. User authentication in MOVEit allows us to monitor which users are authorized to run specific jobs. This is specified in MOVEit scripts on the host side, and unauthorized users attempting to access data will fail authentication. The system handles live data through HL7 messages, including daily pharmacy and billing information. Cold feeds come from the integration engine and are processed through MOVEit in batches. Files accumulate throughout the day in the integration engine, which specifies merge times and file naming conventions. The batch is created at a designated time and transferred through MOVEit to its destination.
Joshua Rule - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Integration Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Serves as a straightforward SFTP server that offers reasonably good support
I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult. Some support for the area revolving around PGP protocols in the product would be helpful. I think TIBCO could try to integrate better with API management software. TIBCO is a fairly solid product, but integration with some API management software should provide a better selling point since TIBCO would have some great API management capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend this solution over others that I would use."
"We are consultants and end-users; I would recommend MOVEit because it's a great integration tool, I'm able to achieve whatever the requirements are, and it's also secured since it's in a cloud environment, so there won't be any loss of information."
"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"MOVEit's automation and scheduling features are good, and they are easy to configure workflows."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
"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."
"TIBCO has its own integration tool."
"There's less coding involved, and the entire process is automatic."
"They have great multi-factor authentication for extra security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to do centralized administration."
 

Cons

"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."
"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."
"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult because not all the users are techies aware of the setup of MOVEit."
"Compressed data not managed very well."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"MOVEit's pricing is a little high. Regarding pricing and licensing cost, I am not overall satisfied."
"Their cloud product is not yet stable."
"The UI could be better."
"I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult."
 

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