We can not afford Cisco products; in the end, everything we require is on the software side, not the hardware side. Also, we are trying to move away from these bulky appliance-type concepts of secure documentation and communication integrations. This federated easy, fast and …
Chose DataMotion
Egress offers a similar system, although the login and user interface are slightly slower and feel a little more clunky. Upon using DataMotion, it just clicks that both clients and colleagues would prefer a simpler, more streamlined system that allows for minimum effort and …
Chose DataMotion
I have never reviewed MyCase, but I used it for a year at my prior firm and found that DataMotion is better for organizing workflow and can much more easily send encrypted documents. That said, I found MyCase better for areas of law outside real estate since it was catered more …
Chose DataMotion
The price of DataMotion is very reasonable and not an extra like other solutions we looked at. DataMotion SecureMail ensures that data is scanned for the latest malware and viruses before it gets to our network. Can be customized based on the policies we wish to apply to our …
Chose DataMotion
For us, the deciding factor was the ease with which DataMotion SecureMail could be deployed and managed. We really needed a type of product that wouldn't place too much pressure on the IT department. We also delighted with the DataMotion SecureMail's effectiveness and how …

Chose DataMotion
A simple and direct way to share files between pairs of users, but lacks the ability to share among more than two persons or directly collaborate on shared files.
Chose DataMotion
No comparison in that One Partner will display patients' quality metrics and indicate if they are open or closed.
Chose DataMotion
I haven't really used any other products.
Chose DataMotion
What sets DataMotion apart from the competitors is that is is very affordable and offers great features. In addition, not many tools in its category comes with a mobile application.
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion is easy to use as no coding needs. Most important, it offers a mobile application and comes at an affordable cost.
Chose DataMotion
DataMotion is better in many ways but one reason why I would still go for this software is that it encryption and decryption of emails is easy - no coding needed.
Progress MOVEit
Chose Progress MOVEit
MOVEit Transfer handles our customers' uploads with the exception of customers who upload large files. We have found Signiant to be a much better solution for large files whereas MOVEit Transfer continue to manage the overwhelming majority of our customer data.
Chose Progress MOVEit
MOVEit automation is configured easily and safely along with a great UI compared to others. We rely on MOVEit to provide the transmission of daily, weekly, and monthly files fast. Not only can this configuration be done locally, but also through a browser.
Chose Progress MOVEit
We previously used Attunity MFT (Formerly Repliweb MFT); We were looking to move away from the platform becuase, while flexible, it was too flexible. The flexibility was gained by running scripts with each job to do what you want. So, not only did you have to define the job …
Chose Progress MOVEit
I haven't used many other file transfer automation software unless it was code I wrote in a bash, batch, vb, C# or powershell script. I can confidently say that if presented with another product I wouldn't move away from MOVEit. The system if very solid and feature rich.
Chose Progress MOVEit
We've been using MOVEIt for years and after several assessments, we felt that it was an unnecessary cost and lift to try and move away from the platform, given that it was meeting all of our current business needs. As the company grows, we will continue to assess whether MOVEIt …
Chose Progress MOVEit
We started using Box a while ago and we are thinking of exchanging MOVEit with Box when it comes to customer and suppliers file transfers. However, there is some reticence in doing that right now, our IT feels more comfortable form the security point of view with MOVEit. …
Chose Progress MOVEit
Price point was a big reason. Ipswitch MOVEit has a lower initial price point than may of the other software options.

The Datamotion Secure Mail plug-in can be installed and used in Outlook while sending mail. In the search category, if you keep SecureMail 500 Admin and hit go, you can see how many admins there are. You can also see how many users there are and the license consumption.

Its exceptional at moving files from their source to various destinations and integrates well with the MoveIt Transfer piece. I have over 250 tasks defined in MoveIt to automate file movements from all different areas of business. I wouldn't recommend MoveIt if you need to do some advanced file parsing / maniuplation. While it does do basic manipulations, there are easier ways to do it.

Pros
  • It gives us a view of email usage on the network, as well as a view of all email viruses hitting the mail servers. This allows us to quickly identify and respond to any security threats and ensure that their email infrastructure is protected against potential attacks.
  • Tracking of communications and monitoring of audit transfers.
  • filtering of email messages and encryption of sensitive customer data.

  • Ipswitch MOVEit is very easy to use. Once a user logs into the website they can send a package or email to an other user or someone outside the organization. This has a similar look and feel to a web based email service.
  • For users that are not part of our organization Ipswitch MOVEit effortlessly can create a new account and provide that users with an email and activation instructions. IT does not need to be involved with setting up users.
  • Temporary users are controlled by a policy that will disable and remove accounts based on setting set by administrators. This is a great way to make sure old accounts are removed when not used.

Usability
I could see DataMotion being used anywhere that needs to send confidential data or information within our outside of the workplace. This platform sends and receives emails securely. Also, the DataMotion support team response time is very helpful/appreciated and they will help you get things up and running quickly. I would definitely recommend [it].

Responses always seem timely and the support seems to be pretty good. We haven't really had any major issues with the software yet, so I that's the reason I gave only an 8. If something more difficult were to pop up, I'd have a little more to say on the support for the product.
