Overall, our experience with MOVEit has been positive. It's a dependable tool that just gets on with the job of securely moving files between systems and partners. From a business point of view, it gives confidence around security and auditability, and once transfers are set up they tend to run without much intervention. It's not the most modern-looking platform, but it feels stable and trusted by the teams who use it day to day.
