Featured Reviews

Shubham Bharti - PeerSpot reviewer
Versatile, streamlines the entire file transfer procedure, and offers good support
It might provide a more sophisticated and user-friendly experience, encouraging smoother interactions and facilitating simpler navigation for users using the application. The user interface (UI) could be improved. The absence of an extensive collection of ample training videos and comprehensive documentation within the current framework represents a missed opportunity. It could have greatly benefited new users, as such resources could have provided invaluable guidance, insights, and step-by-step instructions, ultimately aiding in the swift acclimatization to the software's functionalities and subsequently fostering a more intuitive and less daunting onboarding process for individuals who are just beginning to explore and engage with the software's capabilities.
Kiran Raju L - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."
"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"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."
"It is platform-independent and can flawlessly work on any operating system using the latest security standards."
"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."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"MOVEit is specially designed for file transfers, making it very user-friendly to transfer files to multiple platforms in an easy manner with flexible scheduling features."
"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."
"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."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"From an administration standpoint, it's very easy to manage, and I feel pretty confident in the security of the product. From an end-user standpoint also, it's very easy."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."
"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"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 GUI has to be enhanced."
"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."
"Support for more complicated workflows, such as conditional logic or branching, could be added to allow users to create more advanced automation processes."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."
"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."
"If the transfers are more or the file size is big, it takes more time. It doesn't have much capacity to process multiple files at the same time. It can get stuck or take a lot of time to process the files."
"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."
"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."
"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."
"MOVEit could be improved with some minor updates; the user interface could be more intuitive, and there could be more customization freedom and flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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