Recently, we've started using the SAP module. I don't know if payroll is directly supported, but we do run jobs through PeopleSoft, which obviously impacts HR. So at our renewal time we said, 'We want to convert from number of jobs to number of endpoints.' That cost us extra money but it gave us additional capabilities, without worrying about the number of jobs."Ĭontrol-M basically supports a lot of business processes. That caused some issues because we were restricted to a number.

"Initially, our licensing model was based on the number of jobs per day.

How BMC calculates licensing is not easily available anywhere." No one can easily understand how they calculate things, whether it is user-based, job-based, or server-based.

"You must accept that BMC licensing can be very confusing.

"The cost is basically $100 a job, give or take.".

We have had an instance where Control-M was unavailable due to external factors for 20 minutes and there was a loss of almost a million euros because the solution involved logistics." It's definitely for bigger enterprise companies, especially banks or healthcare providers. Nobody is going to die or they're going to lose money if that job didn't run exactly at 11 minutes past 4:00. They are not seeing the return on investment because it's not business critical. Now, stuff that can literally run once a day for the rest of their lives is costing them $3 a job a day. What we've seen at smaller companies, it's too expensive because they want to automate everything. You really have to be quite big and need to have a dedicated support staff to run it, then you'll be fine. If it's not enterprise scale, I find that it's too expensive for smaller companies.

"This is now from my previous years as support for banks and big companies.

This has actually driven a lot of people to look for alternative solutions." We understand that Advanced File Transfer is going away and is going to be the end of life, and there is some additional functionality built into MFT, but the additional functionality does not really correlate with the huge price increase over what we're paying for AFT already. Based on my experience and discussions with other existing customers, everybody feels that the regular Managed File Transfer piece, not the enterprise one, is a little overpriced, especially for folks who already have licensed Advanced File Transfer.

"Its pricing and licensing could be a little bit better.

There are some really good vendors that didn't get picked up in the first MFT Quadrant as their revenues we're too small or they were too early stage. It's important to note that this is a review of the market as it was and not how it is today. Reviews from users would be equally useful.

I'd be pleased to receive comments specifically from software vendors where we've not been able to clearly determine how actively their product is being developed.

You can take a look at the extensive research we've conducted here: So, what’s happened to those represented in the Gartner Managed File Transfer Magic Quadrant of 2009? There has been a raft of acquisitions, a few are no longer trading and some have been integrated into wider offerings. Having also seen many Managed File Transfer vendors acquired by larger software organisations, I expect to see further consolidation in the next 12 months. Then there’s a small number still fighting their corner.Īs I write this, impartially viewing the marketplace, I can see the success or health of the remaining organisations varies wildly.

Some have been swallowed up through acquisition, others have pivoted to focus elsewhere, and a number of products continue in name alone whilst they are slowly managed during decline. Whilst some remain, others have completely disappeared. Looking at the companies represented is a snapshot of a bygone era. Ten years is a long time for software and the vendor landscape has changed considerably. This, in my opinion, is fundamental to MFT. EFSS technology specialises in secure ad-hoc or person-to-person sharing of data, but not necessarily automated file transfer. A number of products included in the Gartner Managed File Transfer Magic Quadrant fall into this category. The evolution of a new marketplace, Enterprise File Sync & Share (EFSS), was hot on the heels of MFT. But if he re-wrote the report today I think it would look very different for a few reasons. Since it was written I’ve become a pretty good friend of the author Frank Kenney, and very much respect his opinions on all things file transfer.
