Top notch products and company.

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: A consistent and dependable platform for worldclass managed file transfer.

Pros:

I give Ipswitch and their products the highest marks in all categories. They are very strong and consistent in all area's and are what I like to call "the full meal deal".

Cons:

The looming threat that they could go public someday and risk losing that personal touch we have become accomstomed with.

MOVEit Automation is an effective platform for providing for our SFTP connectivity needs.

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: MOVEit helps for us to solve problems with needing to securely transfer files to vendors in an automated manner. With MOVEit, we are able to send files in a given directory to a vendor on a scheduled basis (ex: once daily at 8AM).

Pros:

It is easy to make use of MOVEit Automation to automate file transfer jobs between our network and outside vendors. I also appreciate that we can incorporate notification emails in the event of task failure/success.

Cons:

One downside to MOVEit is that I've found it difficult to, for example, create a task that cleans up file folders that are older than three weeks. I spoke with a Progress support agent regarding this, and he stated that this wasn't something that is natively supported, but it could possibly be accomplished with some scripting. If such a feature were to be added to the native MOVEit Automation platform, it would be much easier to clean up old archive files within a given directory.

Good start but a little lacking

3.0 4 years ago

Pros:

Managed file transfer is something that can be difficult to do an even more difficult to do right. MOVEit is a good start and they offer 80 percent of any features that a company may need. The ability to finely control the flow of documents that are transmitted to us was the best feature.

Cons:

They were not able to handle a very high volume of files being transferred. This was a deal breaker for us but they were good otherwise.

MoveIt within our Organization

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall, MoveIt is a vital application within our organization and certainly something we rely on daily.

Pros:

We have workflows designed within our organization where requests for host files are made within MoveIt. Within these workflows, MoveIt jobs are initiated and workflows flow seamlessly. MoveIt is essential for these workflows to exist and successful function.

Cons:

We are currently on prem and desire to move to the cloud. Cloud offers many desired features and moves our infrastructure in the right direction as we want to be more cloud based. Our goal is to move to MoveIt cloud within the next year.
