The user interface is easy to understand, but its performance could be improved
I also work with IBM Sterling B2B Integrator. Unlike Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration, IBM Sterling B2B Integrator doesn't have a UI-based platform to monitor all incoming and outgoing transactions. We use IBM Sterling B2B Integrator for everything, including transmission. We use Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration only for transmission purposes. We use Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration because it has a great user interface, which makes it very easy to monitor everything. IBM Sterling B2B Integrator is better than Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration because it is a very robust solution. Unlike cloud-based systems, IBM Sterling B2B Integrator can handle very complex logic. It can easily process files with 5 GB to 10 GB sizes. Once you take the license, you won't have to pay anything extra for computing power.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The automation of all the data transfers is great."
"Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration has a great user interface that is easy to understand."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"They have multiple features for each kind of task and issue. The company has different channels to give information to the administration. Security and integration capabilities are also important. This product has helped to replace a lot of other solutions, saving time and cost."
"The product's most valuable feature is the real-time integration suite."
"They have best-in-class, quality support."
"We are able to monitor all B2B messages, and we are able to see or track each message on it from an error perspective. That's a good side of it. It is working well, and we're able to do our current job."
 

Cons

"The solution's performance could be improved and made similar to that of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator."
"The initial setup can be a bit tricky."
"The only weaknesses they have different governance for each task and different channels for communication which are hard to maintain. The relation of the company with other companies can be improved. We have a lot of customers who this platform for the interchange of information which can also be improved. The compliance information about banks can also be updated."
"Onboarding on the solution is complex. It's hard to onboard partners and customer suppliers. It's one aspect that is not that straightforward."
"It can be now classified as a legacy system because there are no more updates. From what I know, there will be no updates for the current version, which is an issue. Therefore, we are looking for a compatible new software that we can use. We're currently researching what is there in the market. We would consider something that would give us better speed on our current processor. There is also room for improvement in terms of its scalability and GUI. It is an old system, and its scalability can be improved. Its GUI can also be more appealing."
"They can improve APIs because they are still lagging behind in API connectivity. With non-API connectivity, they're market leaders, but API connectivity, they're still in the immature space."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other SaaS platforms, the solution's pricing is less."
"They have a good pricing system, in relation to powerful features."
"Pricing is a little bit on the higher side because they give you the best support. Out of ten, I would rate pricing at seven or eight."
"The tool is expensive because of its rich features."
