(78 Ratings)

It "just works" once deployed and is a top-tier contender, but with that said has experienced on several occasions performance lags and timeouts when handling large files or high volumes of concurrent jobs.

(64 Ratings)

When we first started using Files.com it was just to replace our FTP server and to utilize the SFTP functionality of the product. They made it incredibly easy to set up a customized URL for our customers to use for transferring files to us and gave us a professional experience with customizing branding. The notifications were also a feature that we were interested in providing and updating to the people responsible for checking the files when they were deposited in our site. As the site has advanced the Remote Servers connection, which allows for file mounting and real-time access, has been a game changer. With their ever increasing automation we can take advantage of the remote connection and move files in real time where our on premise automation can get to it.

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.

Great experience with the Data Integrator tool. We use other OpenText products, and this was a good addition to the portfolio. It definitely has enterprise-grade features, and the tool helps us make sure our file transfers are secure and auditable for compliance.

As an administrator, I have very good experience with Axway Managed File Transfer. The platform is secure and reliable for large volumes of data transfer and also offers strong compliance, encryption and auditing functionality which are very critical for any corporate environment. It provides minimal distrubance once we have configured it initially and has excellent integration functions with existing systems.

The main reasons are: strong malware detection and dependable transfers make it secure; however, the interface is clumsy and has few reporting options.
