Axcient x360Sync vs Progress MOVEit

Likelihood to Recommend

I am unlikely to recommend Axcient x360Sync because competing products have evolved more quickly over the last few years and are better in nearly all aspects. Axcient x360Sync works as expected, but without as many features as can be found elsewhere. One aspect of the product that is easier to use and more intuitive than other products is the secure file sharing feature. If that is your main use, then Axcient x360Sync may be the best choice.

Alternatives Considered

Several years ago, we evaluated OnDrive and were more impressed with Axcient x360Sync, but that has changed recently. OneDrive is simply easier to use with intuitive integration into Windows and Microsoft Office apps as well easy on-demand file downloads. We still use Axcient x360Sync, but we are in the process of migrating to OneDrive.

We previously used Attunity MFT (Formerly Repliweb MFT); We were looking to move away from the platform becuase, while flexible, it was too flexible. The flexibility was gained by running scripts with each job to do what you want. So, not only did you have to define the job (Source and Destination), you had to have a fairly strong programming background. Tasks as simple as renaming files with a date stamp, required a script be written. MoveIt has many of these basic macros available for file name manipulations like various date pieces, times, file names, etc, and they're all well documented. Ex: [OrigName] = Original Filename (TestFile.pdf), [OnlyName] = Just the filename, no extension (TestFile), [OnlyExt] = Just the file extentions (.pdf). Pretty much every field within a job can use pre-defined Macros, which is a huge benefit. We also moved away from that platform because it had gone stale, it wasn't their "Core" product. The vendor supported it, but was not actively developing it or fixing bugs or anything. We went 2-3 years without even an update to the binary. MoveIt is one of Progress's "Core" products, so they are adding features / functionality and fixing bugs actively
