|---|---|---|
| Project Manager at Cognizant | 4.0 | I've found MOVEit to be user-friendly for scheduling and file transfers, though its reporting format needs improvement. While stable overall, better visualization and training support would enhance usability and operational efficiency. |
| Senior Technical Support Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I've used MOVEit for five years and find it secure and reliable for file transfers, especially with automation and access controls, though it could improve in scheduling options and SharePoint integration features. |
| Support Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I’ve used MOVEit for four years to manage file transfers, finding it reliable and easy to use with strong encryption features. Minor UI improvements and added customization could enhance the experience further. I’d rate it 9 out of 10. |
| Technical Lead at HCLSoftware | 4.5 | I've used MOVEit for four years in a US healthcare project, and it reliably automates secure file transfers, though logging and upgrade stability need improvement; overall, it's user-friendly and suitable for handling sensitive financial and patient data. |
| Application Development Senior Analyst at Accenture | 4.0 | I use MOVEit for secure file transfers in my banking job, appreciating its easy setup, reliable automation, and simple GUI. However, it needs improved security to prevent cyberattacks. We plan to switch to JSCAPE for better performance. |
| Sr. Software Configuration Administrator at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I find MOVEit excellent for quickly uploading software, praising its speed and ease of use. However, I need a "hide" feature and dislike system-wide lockouts from failed logins, which highlights our lack of comprehensive training on its full capabilities. |
| Manager - Integration (Supply Chain) at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I implemented MOVEit for its ability to handle large file transfers and robust logging, replacing a less effective Linux-based FTP setup. While initial setup challenges and feature limitations exist, it provided a quick return on investment and improved satisfaction. |
| Scientist - Instrument II at AbbVie | 4.0 | I use MOVEit for robot motion planning, valuing its algorithms and modeling ease. It has a steep learning curve, multi-robot challenges, and requires ROS/Linux. Still, I rate it 8/10, but caution new users due to complexity. |
