Beneficial quick protocol, powerful, but limited use cases

Aspera Managed File Transfer should be packaged into another solution. Explaining to customers you need to have multiple solutions from multiple vendors for their use cases can get complicated for them to understand. The best way to propose a suite is to have an integrated suite where the customer could choose to license part of it. This solution could be one solution not two choices between 10 or 12 different solutions. The main feature of Aspera Managed File Transfer is the communication protocol, which is fast. There are a lot of different clients that are offering features related to these fast protocols. It's possible to create one unique suite that can handle this base protocol. It will be quite easy to propose to the customers.

Fast file transfers, good security, and helpful automation

Installation and configuration of JSCAPE is a bit complicated, providing the proper document helps to understand the tool and gain more knowledge on its features. The pricing of the JSCAPE MFT server seems higher considering some smaller businesses with a limited amount of budgets. To make it easier, the admin log and reporting system should be improved. I would appreciate it if the help and support team could more actively assist the users to resolve their Issues. Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature of Aspera Managed File Transfer is that it's an incredibly fast protocol, you can use all the bandwidth available. If I need to send large amounts of data this is the fastest protocol on the market. I have been using it for some minor projects and it is very powerful."

"Aspera Managed File Transfer is an optimal solution for customers who want to transfer large files to remote sites with lower bandwidth and in less time."

"Good user interface and ability to set up multiple file transfer jobs."

"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."

"It makes a logical link between the inbound/outbound transfer, and makes it clearly visible. This is a very important feature for managing transfer with different environments, and it's very helpful in case of troubleshooting."

"It’s very flexible."

"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."

"Axway consolidated all of our communications into one platform, simplifying network and port management. Now, all we have to do is open one port to this application, and we can remove all the firewall rules on that port. It's much more straightforward to manage from a security perspective. We used to rely on an archaic FTP solution, but Axway features SFTP, so it was an improvement security-wise."

"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."

"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."

"It is platform-independent and can flawlessly work on any operating system using the latest security standards."

"The automation part of JSCAPE by Redwood is great because you can set up a scheduled delivery with files and be notified if the transfer was successful."

"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."

"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."

"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."

"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."

"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."

"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."

Cons

"Deployment is complex and it was difficult to get support."

"The solution's pricing is high and should be reduced."

"Aspera Managed File Transfer should be packaged into another solution. Explaining to customers you need to have multiple solutions from multiple vendors for their use cases can get complicated for them to understand."

"One area of improvement is troubleshooting. When a transfer fails, they provide little information about the login, which makes troubleshooting difficult. Also, file transfer scheduling is primitive. By that, I mean you can't define a complex schedule, like scheduling a job to run at particular hours multiple times in a day."

"The tool can try to make it a little bit more flexible so that we can easily invoke the APIs, and in such a way, it can be made a little bit better."

"The areas in need of improvement are the monitoring and the cut-off management, when needed. Today you have at least two solutions: Buy the other Axway suite, Sentinel, or integrate it into your monitoring system."

"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."

"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."

"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."

"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

"With constant software releases and updates, detailed notifications and documentation on the improvements along with the comparison of the past and present features would be helpful to understand and use it better."

"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."

"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."

"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."

"Setup is time-consuming."

"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."

"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."

"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aspera Managed File Transfer is not an inexpensive solution. I am not aware of many competitors to determine how affordable the price is overall."

"It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."

"The platform's price aligns with the market."

"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."

"Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."

Overview

IBM Aspera takes a different approach to tackling the challenges of big data movement over global WANs. Rather than optimize or accelerate data transfer, Aspera eliminates underlying bottlenecks by using its proprietary fasp technology that fully utilizes available network bandwidth to maximize speed and quickly scale up with no theoretical limit. Using fasp, transfers are secure end-to-end and are largely unaffected by file size, transfer distance, or network conditions, making transfer times up to 100Xs faster than TCP-based protocols.

IBM Aspera offers SaaS, on-prem, and hybrid solutions to meet the needs of modernizing infrastructures. All solutions offer robust security and compliance, intuitive file sharing, workflow automation, central administration, and real-time visibility. Quickly and easily initiate transfers across hybrid infrastructures, including support for cloud-to-cloud transfers. IBM Aspera offers unmatched transfer speeds, end-to-end security, reliability, and exceptional bandwidth control.

As a multi-protocol MFT gateway, Axway SecureTransport provides the flexibility you need to support virtually any MFT use case. Secure, manage, and track file flows among people and applications inside your enterprise, and beyond your firewall to your user communities, mobile devices, and the cloud. Perform high-volume automated file transfers between systems, sites, lines of business and external partners, to user-driven communications and mobile, folder- and portal-based file sharing.

JSCAPE platform offers independent managed file transfer (MFT) software that allows users to secure and automate data exchange with trading partners, clients and internal transfers. Built-in security features and audit functions support PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. SaaS (MFTaaS) offering available.
