KS
System Administrator at Agility
Provides high availability of clustering and valuable file transfer management features
The initial setup process is easy with the support of a 24-hour backend expert and available demos for installation and configuration. We can also refer to the documentation. It takes two days to complete. The deployment process involves server installation, configuring necessary reports, and publishing the system on the public internet. Initially, we created internal users with LtAP access. It enables control over file upload and download permissions for specific file types. The implementation, accessible through SFTP and HTTPS protocols, works well for secure file transfers. It requires three executives to deploy and one or two to maintain the product.
KS
Technical Lead at HCLSoftware
Has improved data transfer reliability and supports automated scheduling to handle sensitive healthcare files securely
The best part of MOVEit is that we can schedule any job, specifying the time when jobs should run and when files will come from sources sending files between locations. MOVEit utilizes a shared drive where location-specific folders are created. Users place files in designated folder locations on the shared drive, and when jobs are scheduled, they execute automatically. MOVEit offers functionality to transform file formats between source and destination. If the destination requires a different file format, we can specify the desired file name, and the script will execute the transformation during transfer. MOVEit encryption features protect data during transfer. In healthcare environments, financial data and patient insurance information are encrypted before transmission to destination locations where they are decrypted, preventing data loss or unauthorized access. User authentication in MOVEit allows us to monitor which users are authorized to run specific jobs. This is specified in MOVEit scripts on the host side, and unauthorized users attempting to access data will fail authentication. The system handles live data through HL7 messages, including daily pharmacy and billing information. Cold feeds come from the integration engine and are processed through MOVEit in batches. Files accumulate throughout the day in the integration engine, which specifies merge times and file naming conventions. The batch is created at a designated time and transferred through MOVEit to its destination.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"JSCAPE provides high-level data encryption, which can help us share confidential and time-sensitive data across our global partners without any hassle."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"The JSCAPE MFT Server offers support for diverse protocols such as FTP(S), SFTP, SCP, AFTP, OFTP, and TFPT."
"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."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"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."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."
"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."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"It covered the essentials but was overly complex, expensive, made it difficult to quickly implement solutions, and disliked by developers."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"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."
"Setup is time-consuming."
"Even our lead software engineers who have years of experience and understand the architecture, find it very cumbersome to use."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"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."
"Compressed data not managed very well."
"During version upgrades or feature deployments on MOVEit servers, which are handled by the sysadmin team, we encounter difficulties. The server sometimes becomes unresponsive or crashes, causing MOVEit jobs to fail and generating multiple tickets."
"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 initial setup is a bit difficult because not all the users are techies aware of the setup of MOVEit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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