AWS Transfer for SFTP [EOL] vs MOVEit comparison

"Being able to have the S3 files as storage is most valuable. We can use S3 as storage instead of an SFTP server or a machine."

"The solution offers good data recovery."

"The solution has helped with collaboration in our organization."

"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."

"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."

"The tool’s GUI is very simple."

"The automation is generally very simple that helps with operational efficiency. Since we mainly created interfaces and scheduled transfers, the tool itself handled the file transfer automation."

"A significant advantage is that MOVEit eliminates the need for manual job monitoring and execution, as jobs are scheduled to run automatically based on scripts, with some running daily and others monthly, like insurance company billing processes that generate reports at month-end without manual intervention."

"The product, MOVEit, is user friendly for anybody who is starting new in scheduling rather than working with other tools, and being on a Windows machine makes your life easier."

"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."

"The product, MOVEit, is user friendly for anybody who is starting new in scheduling rather than working with other tools."

"Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers."

"Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."

"The tool's UI should be pretty easy and straightforward. I would also like to see a simple audit report of the SFTP guest account that shows the amount of data transfers and security kind enabled."

"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."

"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."

"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."

"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."

"The scheduling features need improvement as currently there are standard scheduling possibilities that could be enhanced with more options and features, such as automatically creating checksum files."

"Reporting for MOVEit needs a lot more work. For example, if I have to pull a task report for a specific requirement such as its history and task attributes, the report doesn't come in a CSV format, which is consumable."

"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."

"The initial setup is a bit difficult."

"It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance. If we had to build it by hand, we would win on cost there, but obviously, there is effort and time. In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."

"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."

"It's cost-effective."

"I haven't really priced out many other products like this, but I feel it's reasonable. Their upgrade support after hours was going to be $6,000. I just made the decision to wing it and just do it during business hours and call support if there was a problem."

"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
