Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s very flexible."
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"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."
"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 provides a good amount of storage capacity for a reasonable price and has a good range of connectors."
"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"The stability of Thru is very good."
 

Cons

"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"Their monitoring is not up to the mark and needs improvement."
"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 initial setup was quite complex."
More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer cons
"The initial setup of Thru needed an engineer to be involved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."
"Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."
"The platform's price aligns with the market."
"It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."
"Overall, the price of the solution is good for what it does, but when you want to add some features it can get expensive."
