    MOVEit Transfer handles our customers' uploads with the exception of customers who upload large files. We have found Signiant to be a much better solution for large files whereas MOVEit Transfer continue to manage the overwhelming majority of our customer data.

    MOVEit automation is configured easily and safely along with a great UI compared to others. We rely on MOVEit to provide the transmission of daily, weekly, and monthly files fast. Not only can this configuration be done locally, but also through a browser.

    I haven't used many other file transfer automation software unless it was code I wrote in a bash, batch, vb, C# or powershell script. I can confidently say that if presented with another product I wouldn't move away from MOVEit. The system if very solid and feature rich.

    We've been using MOVEIt for years and after several assessments, we felt that it was an unnecessary cost and lift to try and move away from the platform, given that it was meeting all of our current business needs. As the company grows, we will continue to assess whether MOVEIt …

    We started using Box a while ago and we are thinking of exchanging MOVEit with Box when it comes to customer and suppliers file transfers. However, there is some reticence in doing that right now, our IT feels more comfortable form the security point of view with MOVEit. …

    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.

    Cons
    Progress Software
    • 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.

    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

    Return on Investment
    Progress Software
    • It gave us the ability to exchange files with customers and vendors in a secure manner.
    • Given the sensitivity of our files exchange, MOVEit helped in gaining the trust of our customers that their data is safe.
    • Using its API, we were able to build a custom app that is adding even more features, specific to our needs, like empowering project managers with more permissions on their folders
