MOVEit Transfer Review

Rating: 8 out of 10

November 11, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have purchased several products from Progress such as MOVEit Transfer, MOVEit Automation, and MOVEit EZ in addition to some features such as High Availability for both Transfer and Automation as well as PGP encryption for Automate. These are business-critical and customer facing tools we have deployed and depend on for a number of our company's products.

Pros

Managed File Transfers
Secure file transfer solution
Valuable features
Very responsive Support Team

Cons

High-Availability features aren't very dependable
Version upgrades have caused significant issues (PGP keyring corrupted)
MOVEit Transfer does not handle larger files very well

Likelihood to Recommend

We have several MOVEit products. We depend on customer-uploaded data for our product workflows and MOVEit Transfer has been the solution of choice. The exception would be uploading larger files, which have a continuing need with our customers, so a different solution is in place. We also leverage MOVEit Automation in order to manage those files through the rest of the workflow. MOVEit Automation has significantly increased its role within our product suite given its many integration capabilities.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MOVEit is actively used on a dedicated server to supply clients with SFTP transactions. Automation is configured easily and safely. We rely on MOVEit to provide the transmission of daily, weekly, and monthly files across many companies and businesses. MOVEit is recommended by my group for any SFTP needs etc.

Pros

Transmission
Security
Friendly UI

Cons

MoveIt makes my life easier!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use MoveIt to streamline the movement of files. It's not only used for IT purposes, but various business units as well. As we aim to automate more and more processes, MoveIt is proving to be an extremely valuable tool for us. It's intuitive, flexible, and powerful. It really allows to us just set it and forget it.

Pros

It is very flexible
File parsing / manipulation is easy
The programmability built into it makes advanced tasks much easier to implement

Cons

Email "Templates" would be nice. Instead of creating an email alert per job, requiring each job to be update when there's a change, have a template that can apply to multiple jobs
Logging in the webUI isn't the greatest. The log retention period could be better
Keep more than 5-runs of detailed job logs

Likelihood to Recommend

Its exceptional at moving files from their source to various destinations and integrates well with the MoveIt Transfer piece. I have over 250 tasks defined in MoveIt to automate file movements from all different areas of business. I wouldn't recommend MoveIt if you need to do some advanced file parsing / maniuplation. While it does do basic manipulations, there are easier ways to do it.

MOVEit Rocks

November 5, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are in the process of introducing the MOVEit Automation product as our file transport standard. The tool has allowed us to remove the need of our software to transfer files to various location inside and outside of the county network. The many features of the product has provided us the assurance that our files will get where they need to when they need to.

Pros

Dashboard provides good insight and quick access to troubled jobs
Being able to handle file transfer across various protocols securely
Ability to connect to various cloud sites and storage (SharePoint, Amazon S3)
Easy SSL certificate implementation of the web UI
Easy SSH with certificate implementation
Strong permissions configuration.

Cons

MOVEit only holds the 5 most recent logs for a task. This should be configurable on a task by task basis.
Ensuring timestamp's across the system match the accounts preference.
Task deletion. While the current process works, it would be better if there were check boxes or a delete task action item.

Likelihood to Recommend

PGP Encrypting of proprietary data and secure transport of files on a scheduled basis.

Solid HTTP script implementation via VB or Powershell.

There are many instances when we needed to check for a file to transport over various intervals. Example" "check for file every 5 minutes from 6am to 6pm". MOVEit handles these schedules very well.

MOVEIT Review

Rating: 7 out of 10

November 5, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MOVEit is being used across the whole organization and helps the automation of file movement so that we can eliminate manual processes. Unless we can find a comparable method, we want to continue to use this platform.

Pros

Workflow Automation
Movement of Files
Adding on Jobs to automate

Cons

Better error tracking
Better documentation to be used by a technical team
Automation blocks occur

Likelihood to Recommend

As a dropship company, high volume orders become difficult to manage. As a result, leveraging MOVEit allows us to automate a lot of the various pieces so that we have fewer manual actions that need to be taken. This also saves on unnecessary development labor cost, which allows for a lean technology team.

Have your secure transfers with MOVEit

January 22, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Ipswitch MOVEit across the departments as the base system for files transfers between us and our customers and between us and our vendors. It is helping us achieve the following goals:

<ul><li> having the ability to transfer large size files between us and customers/suppliers</li><li>highly securing the files transfers since we are dealing with highly sensitive IPs</li><li>doing the above in an easy and friendly manner</li></ul>

Pros

Huge files transfer between internal and external sites
Secure transfers.
Nice and friendly user Interface

Cons

More features could be added in the UI, like drag and drop files
Setting up the system initially can be a little difficult
More flexibility on the user's permissions can help - we have specific requirements to empower people like project managers to manage only their own projects(folders) and even to create external users for customers. We had to build a custom application that uses the MOVEit API to implement these requirements.
The cost is a little high for the features that it offers.

Likelihood to Recommend

You can use Ipswitch MOVEit for secure file transfers, from small to huge sizes. When dealing with highly sensitive data, like customers' IPs, the security is one of your top concerns. That was the main reason we bought this software several years ago and still use it, even if the yearly cost is a little more than others.

Ipswitch MOVEit is a fast and secure way to transfer files.

December 14, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Ipswitch MOVEit is being used across our entire organization. It is used to bypass file size restriction when sending or receiving email. We also use Ipswitch MOVEit when sharing files back and forth between our customers. We also have some departments that utilize it similar to a FTP site and provide access to customers at different folder levels.

Pros

Ipswitch MOVEit is very easy to use. Once a user logs into the website they can send a package or email to an other user or someone outside the organization. This has a similar look and feel to a web based email service.
For users that are not part of our organization Ipswitch MOVEit effortlessly can create a new account and provide that users with an email and activation instructions. IT does not need to be involved with setting up users.
Temporary users are controlled by a policy that will disable and remove accounts based on setting set by administrators. This is a great way to make sure old accounts are removed when not used.

Cons

Drag and dropping of files to attached to packages.
I believe there is room for improvement when it comes to setting up folder and group security.
A better mobile app is absolutely needed. The current app lacks in features.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ipswitch MOVEit is perfect for larger companies looking for a secure easy to use file transfer solution. Ipswitch MOVEit provides many features that allow users to connect in many ways and share files. If you are looking for an easy way to bypass the file restrictions when sending or receiving emails then Ipswitch MOVEit is a great product for you and your company.
