Akshatha Ramesh - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."
"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."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"The JSCAPE MFT Server offers support for diverse protocols such as FTP(S), SFTP, SCP, AFTP, OFTP, and TFPT."
"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 offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"The log findings and troubleshooting on MOVEit are pretty easy. When you go to the logs, it clearly tells you what time a transfer happened, what time it failed, what is the source path, what is the destination path, and what is the failure reason. It's pretty straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"This automation service works very well in placing thousands of files each day in different locations where separate ETL pipelines or packages can begin."
"Top of the list would be the huge collection of different path planning algorithms that are great and state of the art."
"The tool’s GUI is very simple."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."
"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"JSCAPE ensures data integrity. You know that the file has been transferred and on which date, as we provide timestamps."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
"Something that I would like to see is better upgrade support. We had looked at getting help with an upgrade, and to do it after hours, it was going to be $6,000. It only takes 15 minutes to do. It'd be nice if the after-hour support was a little more reasonable."
"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"Technical support is only available with a paid license."
"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."
"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."
