We utilize a hosted SFTP solution, file transfer operations (both internal and external), and monitoring of those file transfer jobs through our MOVEit software collection. It has integrated with our business well and has reduced the time it takes to implement a new job.
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.

File moving and SFTP. MOVEit is a simple solution for getting everything where it needs to be. I've used MOVEit Automation more and more as things have come up that I can use it for, which is a lot. We've grown into it being the first choice for much of our file automation that just needs to work and be a quick turnaround.
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

We did not have a choice in using this software, but again, once we got through the difficulty of setting up the platform, the product has been working great.
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.

MOVEit is at the center of all of our workflow. We move thousands of files every day using MOVEit without issue and this service handles all of it effortlessly. It is easy to administer and just works day in and day out.
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

This solution has helped us to centralize and streamline all of our data transport needs. The ability to log in to Office 365 Sharepoint and upload data to our cloud repository was a real game changer for easily and securely sharing real-time data with external sources.
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).

It has been a great experience. we purchased support so we were able to get assistance with set up which was very helpful. then it is a set it and forget it solution.
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.

The overall product is decent and I would recommend it to others.
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.

Once it is set up, it is a solid product. We've been using it for years and have had minimal issues with it.
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.

I really liked this product , i used it in my previous places and onboarded when i join this company. Product is easy to use and aligns with our security requirements.
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.

Sharing date with outside parties has been the number one use of this software. It has enabled us to secure share information.
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

It was easy to use and setup and we were able to quickly work with our vendors in pushing/pulling of files.
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.

So far the experience has been very positive. We hope that as we continue to transition all of our file transfers to this tool we will continue to have no issues.
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.

Overall, satisfied with the product and what it can do.
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.

Secure file movement, control, and reporting.
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.

Easy of use, quick reporting, auditing exists at a very high level.
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".
