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

"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."
"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."
"Especially at the time of monitoring, it's a nice way to take a look at the script and take a look at run time, which gives enough information for the files that are getting picked or not."
"We are consultants and end-users; I would recommend MOVEit because it's a great integration tool, I'm able to achieve whatever the requirements are, and it's also secured since it's in a cloud environment, so there won't be any loss of information."
"This automation service works very well in placing thousands of files each day in different locations where separate ETL pipelines or packages can begin."
"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
 

Cons

"It covered the essentials but was overly complex, expensive, made it difficult to quickly implement solutions, and disliked by developers."
"JSCAPE ensures data integrity. You know that the file has been transferred and on which date, as we provide timestamps."
"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."
"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."
"In future releases, MOVEit could add support for some additional protocols. For example, I don't think they supported the SFTP or FTPS protocols at the time."
"With the new other vendors coming up, they come up with certain features, in addition to the file transfer. But MOVEit does not develop their product. That's why we are looking out for other solutions."
"The product must improve its security features."
"We have had some challenges. Earlier when we were setting it up, a component called gateway, which runs in the DMV, was not working as expected. It was going down very often. That means most of our vendors were not able to connect using SFTP because that service was down. We had to put in a lot of monitoring to make sure if that goes down, there is some visibility instantaneously so that our system admins can go and do a restart."
"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."
"I don't know about MOVEit, or how the server is set up, however, a lot of times, it used to go down, and I couldn't get onto the servers."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"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."
