Questions to ask about MOVEit
Comparing features is easy. Here are the tough questions that deserve answers.
What does the acquisition of ShareFile mean for MFT?
In 2024, Progress Software acquired ShareFile from Citrix for $875M USD. Progress will quickly want a return on their investment and customers should understand the impact this will have on their own bottom line. MOVEit could see diminishing attention from Progress management as they attempt to cross-sell ShareFile into existing accounts.
How much time can Progress Software dedicate to individual solutions?
Presented with a crowded portfolio of varying types of solutions, customers should be asking how much R&D and support resources are likely to be dedicated to the MOVEit product line – especially since recent headlines have reduced some its former prestige.
Can MOVEit catch up to its competitors?
MOVEit may be held back in the market because they lack some features that customers expect from their MFT solutions. These include agents for internal file movements and reach into restricted areas of customer networks, support for non-Windows environments, and a gateway that can forward-proxy outbound connections from MOVEit Automation.
Why does MOVEit Cloud lack basic features?
MOVEit was one of the first MFT solutions to embrace the cloud but they now fall short of the comparative features their customers want and their competitors have. Multi-tenanted MOVEit Cloud has no DLP or AV capabilities and Progress Software has no option for multi-tenanted MOVEit Automation.
When will MOVEit resolve issues with bloated databases?
MOVEit’s response times are dependent on the query response time of its database. Clean-up tasks responsible for keeping the database lean and healthy often get stuck or break down, causing a slowing application, lengthy upgrade times, and a disruptive surge of support tickets. This has been an ongoing challenge for many years without suitable resolution.
