MOVEit Reviews

The software provides an intuitive GUI interface for both administrators and users. It allows an organization to place some of the functionality back in the user's hands and provides and ease for external entities to exchange data and information for organizations.

There is not much I do not like about the software. Of course, there are cheaper alternatives, however in my experience they do not compare to the ease and customer support provided by the MOVEit platform.

It's simple and powerful so it doesn't get in your way but allows you to affect what you are doing to a large degree. I'm was able to get this set up in all out environments within 1 month tested and functioning. I also like that MOVEit Automation has allowed us to continue creating tasks as we get more advanced with it.

Database views do not exist by default which would be helpful for reporting. Reporting in general could be given a feature upgrade. It does pull reports but it's not a simple process and the ability to tie into something like Power BI is not there. Even having several views setup in the database by default would make this quicker and easier to get setup for reporting. When something touches as many files as MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Automation do you want to be able to report on metrics from it immediately

Once we got the software working correctly, it does the transition of files quickly and easily

When we were setting up the product to use for Precision's Director product, we had difficulty setting up the program because we did not have support from Precision and did not have support from the MoveIt team. Our IT rep basically had to figure out how to use the software and do troubleshooting on his own.

Tons of functionality, security features are pretty good, logs and reports are nice, and it's usually easy to setup and upgrade. It can be run on premise which is great, and has features like an Outlook plugin that people like to use. Technical Support for the program has been great every time we need them, which is always over a mySQL database issue.

The user interface and functionality is lacking and we complain about it. It's older style, not HTML5 yet, and just looks outdated. Using java or flash plugins is horrible for users. The emails look outdated as well. Clients complain sometimes about how difficult it is to navigate and get their files. We have used this product for 6+ years without a major interface update, and it needs one.

This product is versatile and infinitely customizable. We have a variety of tasks set up that range from simple to extremely complex and this product can handle all of it without issue. We have thousands of tasks set up that with a vast majority running every few minutes and the server never bogs down

The only issue we are running into is having to schedule regular runs in addition to watching for new files since the new file notification service on Windows often fails

Very intuitive to setup and use. Includes lots of choices for being notified if there is an issue so my team does not have to baby sit it.

The standard version of MoveIT that we purchased does not include the option to include a list of the files that were transferred in the email notification sent by the program. This has been our most requested feature from our end users, but it only comes with enterprise.

MOVEit Automation from Progress is an excellent program. It's learning curve is moderate, but once you get the hang of it, the power at your fingertips is immense. We are able to retire a 20 year old batch scripting and email notification application to an easy to use GUI in Automation. GUI interface easy to set up notification added bonus for scheduling file level folder backups

lack of direction for overcoming the learning curve. (third party Youtube videos were hit and miss).

This is a product that gets the job done. it has the security features that makes our Core Provider comfortable and is affordable enough for a company our size to implement. once it is in place and running - the software has not given us any trouble.

It takes a minute to figure out but once you do it is very user friendly so I cannot say there is anything i don't like about it.

Having used the software for many years now, we have become quite familiar with the product. Over the course of time, we have been able to use the Outlook Plugins and API to customize our process. With minimal assistance, the products have served us very well.

The only issues that we have had is with the logging/reporting. There have been some issues getting the information that we are looking for in the logging, but with a quick call to the support team, that was resolved with little pain.

I find moveit automation and Transfer provide sufficient easiness to setup and manage.

The software can sometimes be flakey and need reboots. There is no way to support task rollbacks. One has to copy the task to take a backup. The other option is to copy and restore the whole task config file. But this is time consuming and requires knowledge of the product that general users are unaware of.

The fact that secure file transfer and secure e-mail is in the same product.

The support/troubleshooting could be a little better when issues are identified.

I like the search functions as well as the ability to scan through users and groups easily. Navigation within the program is relatively easy as well. On the back end the handling on configuration and setup is pretty easy to do as well.

running custom reports could use some work. It runs out of a sql database so some simple sql query searches through the gui would be a nice feature.

Guest User life cycle management Data at rest encryption No end user training required Auto IP lockouts

I still find progress can add few commonly used reports without going through the hassle of starting from scratch

It seems to be very solid, with little downtime.

Unable to reconfigure without new setup to get external user IP address Very expensive support that isn't 24x7.

Ease of use! Integration to our systems and processes was very simple.

I cannot think of anything that is missing from the software. It meets the needs of what we are looking for

relative easy install and setup. Good software support for questions. web based. pretty intuitive to use without a lot of RTM.

Naming of products can be confusing. Would like more built in options for what to before and after transfer without doing special setup.

Ease of use. Front end UI is very user friendly

Unzipping feature could not handle volume we where trying to use it for. Had to build another Home grown tool because server kept crashing.

The ability to schedule multiple runs of the same job and the ability to run hundreds of jobs at the same time.

The UI can use a refresh, its not the most user friendly and sometimes just does not respond.

The interface is easy to use and creation of tasks is straightforward. Support typically responds quickly. Alerting and viewing the history of files moved and job outcomes are very useful.

There are some minor features that could be included instead of having to create custom VB scripts, such as file counts. Job auditing could be more specific as to what was changed.

The ease of use and the quality of the product. Not an overly expensive utility for us to use and solved our MFT issues

Cant think of any issues with the product to be honest

This product has helped us automate so many processes and has saved countless hours of manual work.

I really cant think of anything I don't like.

The ease of setting up and managing schedules

We only use for file transferring and syncing haven't had any issues.

We have been using this product for about 10 years. Very easy to use for our customers and administrators

No cons were added to this review

Used it at two different organizations and it has worked great at both

Can be cumbersome at times. because of this, it has been difficult to get organizational adoption.

Configuration of new/existing tasks is much easier than scripting everything. GUI is simple and easy to use.

Auditing is not explicit to show what actions were performed, only an "update" by a username with a date time stamp. Even if one clicks "OK" and no change was made, it is audited as an "update".
