Progress MOVEit Named a G2 Best IT Infrastructure Software Product for 2026 (4 Years Running)

by Rachel Frnka Posted on March 03, 2026

The users have spoken! Progress MOVEit software is among the top IT infrastructure products. Again!

We’re proud to share that Progress MOVEit software was named one of G2’s Best IT Infrastructure Software Products for 2026.

Even more meaningful: this marks the fourth consecutive year MOVEit software has earned a spot on G2’s Best IT Infrastructure list (2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026) and, based on G2’s published lists for those years, it is the only managed file transfer (MFT) product to appear on the list in every one of those four years.

A quick look at the four-year streak:

  • 2026: Progress MOVEit on G2’s Best IT Infrastructure Software Products list
  • 2025: Progress MOVEit on G2’s Best IT Infrastructure Software Products list
  • 2024: Progress MOVEit on G2’s Best IT Infrastructure Products list
  • 2023: Progress MOVEit on G2’s Best IT Infrastructure Products list

That kind of consistency matters in a category where security, reliability, auditability and operational control requirements keep rising.

The annual G2 Best Software Awards rank the world’s top B2B software products and companies based on verified user reviews and market presence data. Out of 6,530 total products in the IT infrastructure category and 297 that were eligible for the 2026 Best Software Awards, MOVEit software was one of only 22 products to retain a spot on the list from last year, highlighting its continued leadership in the MFT and IT infrastructure sectors.

Why Secure File Transfer Is an IT Infrastructure Priority Right Now

More than ever, organizations are transferring sensitive files across hybrid and distributed environments. A complex blend of legacy systems, cloud applications, business units and partner endpoints creates risks and necessitates the need to know:

  • Who can send and receive files (and how you prove it)
  • Where files are stored and how they’re protected
  • Whether transfers are monitored, retried and auditable
  • How quickly teams can detect failures and respond
  • Whether processes scale without brittle scripts and manual work

For IT and security teams, “good enough” file transfer becomes a recurring source of hidden cost and exposure, especially when workflows support regulated data or business-critical operations.

That’s where MFT comes in.

What Is Managed File Transfer (MFT) and How Is It Different from SFTP?

SFTP is a secure protocol for transferring files.

Managed File Transfer uses secure protocols (including SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS and more) to move files where they need to go with centralized visibility and management, tamper-evident audit trails, access control and workflow automation.

In other words: SFTP moves files. MFT helps IT manage the business process of moving files.

What This G2 Recognition Signals

The G2 Best Software Awards rank the world’s best software companies and products based on authentic, timely reviews from real users and publicly available market presence data.

The continued recognition of MOVEit software highlights its value in helping organizations transfer sensitive files more securely and efficiently while promoting compliance with industry standards.

What Type of Businesses Use MOVEit Software

MOVEit software is often used anywhere secure file movement is tied to compliance, partner exchange or operational efficiency. Examples include:

  • Financial services: Secure exchange of ACH notifications, loan applications, fraud detection and marketing files
  • Healthcare: Reliable transfer workflows tied to payer/provider or partner processes
  • Energy: Secure OT data exports, engineering file exchanges and regulator report submissions
  • Manufacturing: File-based integrations across plants, suppliers and logistics partners

If any of these workflows are managed by ad-hoc methods, FTP servers or manual scripts, an MFT approach can help standardize, secure and scale operations.

Criteria to Evaluate Managed File Transfer Software (and What MOVEit Customers Are Saying on G2)

Security & Access Control

Auditability

“Beyond the core robust security and automation it’s known for, I’m particularly impressed by the progress they’ve made in UX and auditability, specifically, the introduction of a dedicated “Audit User” permission level is a great addition.
