Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has helped with collaboration in our organization.""Being able to have the S3 files as storage is most valuable. We can use S3 as storage instead of an SFTP server or a machine.""The solution offers good data recovery."

More AWS Transfer for SFTP [EOL] Pros →

"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.""The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system.""It is an easy-to-use and stable product.""AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer.""It’s very flexible.""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."

Cons
"Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers.""The tool's UI should be pretty easy and straightforward. I would also like to see a simple audit report of the SFTP guest account that shows the amount of data transfers and security kind enabled.""Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."

"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.""Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data.""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.""It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts.""The initial setup was quite complex.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance. If we had to build it by hand, we would win on cost there, but obviously, there is effort and time. In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."

  • "Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."
  • "It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."
  • "AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."
  • "The platform's price aligns with the market."
