Axway AMPLIFY API Management Reviews

There are APIs, which we call application programming interfaces, in IT. These are the calls, which generally take the data from one place and send it to the other. Their mode of operation is simply transferring the data from one place to the other. APIs are handled by their own gateways and their own management. Axway AMPLIFY API Manager is a tool used to manage API calls. Because they contain sensitive data, security is important and is applied through the use of APIs. The API Manager is an interactive tool that allows applications to communicate with each other. The solution also facilitates data transfer, which can be secured through the use of APIs.

The solution can be deployed both on-prem and the cloud, but 99 percent of the customers for which I have worked, deploy on the cloud. Both AWS and Azure but most of the time the solution is deployed on AWS.

The most valuable feature of the solution is security. I haven't seen a single case of hacking in the past five years. Axway AMPLIFY API Manager is secure.

I can interact the solution with another, for example, ELK, that's another AWS tool, or Kibana, which works quite well. We require some configuration changes, of course, but once it is done, everything is visible and we can interact with the other solutions. Axway AMPLIFY API Manager is quite user-friendly.

We make use of Axway's API gateway API management tool.

Its integration with middle wear is similar to ESB. We provide integrations as we are a swift services bureau. We've got customers that are banks and in some use cases. We integrate these banks with their own back office and we tend to provide integration for that. 

We also make use of the solution to build a marketplace of financial services, which is basically our own solution. 

For other customers, we do integration of the various source systems, back-office systems, legacy systems, etc. We also do file transformation where we take messages for customers in their environments and translate it to industry formats. 

There's drag and drop functionality so that you do not need to have a senior expert developer to make use of the tool. You can get more of your staff trained up to be able to use it as it's not overly technical. 

It provides very strong security functionality to protect information in an easier way. 

It's more of a benchmark for financial services. You can better protect the information and customer information as it's got a very strong focus on security. 

The flexibility is very good. You can do on-premise and you can do cloud. That's really a strong factor in our market as many large customers in our market still want to have an on-premise solution due to the fact that they want to maintain control over their data.

Previously, the solution did not have a subscription as an option, however, now it also has a subscription model, which is great.

The documentation is fairly good and readily available.

We use Axway Amplify API Management for primarily two use cases. The first one involves an API Gateway exposed on the DNC layer to allow external organizations to connect to internal APIs. The second use case is when applications within the organization need to connect to already hosted APIs, which is done through an internal gateway. These two use cases are supported by APIs built around them.

The best feature of Axway Amplify API Management is its exceptional level of security, which is highly reassuring, coupled with its remarkable capacity to handle substantial volumes of data in impressively efficient turnaround times.

We use the solution for ESB and B2B integration between the systems of our business.

The security aspect of the Axway solution is a valuable feature. Managing APIs through different systems is a strong point, as it is a gateway between several systems. It is reliable and relatively easy to work with. The pricing model is also good.

We use Axway for exposed APIs and REST APIs, basically. We also use it internally and expose it for external consumption, essentially.

Axway AMPLIFY API Management has improved our organization. For example, nowadays, we expose the APIs of Fintechs. We have several partners, brokers, and financial institutes. Generally, our APIs are utilized for synchronization and internal communication integration between applications.

The usage of Axway in the future depends on the projects and their requirements.  Our growth is generally determined by the specific needs of each project. For instance, we may have two or three instances for every three logs. However, in the production environment, we currently have around three to five instances of actual running in the production environment. So, the future of Axway depends on the needs and priorities of our projects.

We use this solution for our e-commerce clients. 

The UI and UX are quite good and easy to understand. I think if a company has a specific IT admin employee dedicated to this solution, it will be very simple and easy to use.

We use it as a transport mechanism. 

I don't believe the Salesforce has been fully utilized yet. It gives us quick engagement.

Our primary use for this product is to control how we expose APIs.

The features that are most valuable to us are the portal, authorization, and the extensive filters which allow us to make the policies which serve the user.
