Featured Reviews

Akshatha Ramesh - PeerSpot reviewer
Junior Business Analyst at EFI
Good automation, no complex coding, and high-level data encryption
When it comes to performance and scalability, JSCAPE is a highly reliable software, however, I would suggest a few improvements: 1. The documentation needs a revamp for a better understanding of the features of the tool. 2. Customer service can be offered on call or chat. 3. The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial. 4. UI can be improved in terms of look and feel. 5. Documentation should be provided for a majority of newly released features as these can be difficult for a layman to use without proper instructions.

User adaptability impresses with room for enhanced reporting features
The solution lacks a flow view wherein you will not be able to see the integrated jobs in a flow diagram view. This becomes trickier to understand which flow is failing unless you were part of the design team. 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. It always comes in a scripted format. When you have to show the report to management, they don't understand the scripted format. They need everything in Excel. The reporting feature needs to work on having it in an Excel format. It has been pretty stable, but we were hit by malicious malware attacks in the last two years more comparatively. Depending upon the type of license that is owned and the support with the license, it is up to par with other leading marketing tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"The automation part of JSCAPE by Redwood is great because you can set up a scheduled delivery with files and be notified if the transfer was successful."
"JSCAPE provides high-level data encryption, which can help us share confidential and time-sensitive data across our global partners without any hassle."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"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 renaming and timestamp features are great."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"It is a secure managed file transfer using servers that allow exchange of large and sensitive data files, with data encrypted on managed servers at rest and also during the transfer process in flight."
"The tool’s GUI is very simple."
"MOVEit's automation and scheduling features are good, and they are easy to configure workflows."
"Within our organization, we have two different networks and there is no communication between these different networks, and we use MOVEit if we need a file from one network to another network, as well as for the secure transfer of these files among the employees, which are not supposed to be shared over email."
 

Cons

"Support for more complicated workflows, such as conditional logic or branching, could be added to allow users to create more advanced automation processes."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."
"It covered the essentials but was overly complex, expensive, made it difficult to quickly implement solutions, and disliked by developers."
"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."
"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult because not all the users are techies aware of the setup of MOVEit."
"Compressed data not managed very well."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"The product must improve its security features."
"MOVEit's pricing is a little high. Regarding pricing and licensing cost, I am not overall satisfied."
"It would be beneficial to include a feature that allows you to hide items and not be locked out if someone has made too many password attempts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
"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."
"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."
