Centralized gateway has strengthened API security and provides deep traffic analytics
Potential areas of improvement or lack of functions in Axway AMPLIFY API Management is a challenging question because even after working for almost six years, I have not been able to touch everything this tool offers. This tool is very comprehensive and useful. However, from my opinion, when there are different dashboards on which the API platform shows monitoring, I expect Axway AMPLIFY API Management to be more visible in terms of showing pre-historic data. In other words, if there is a very large volume or very large number of transactions going on live in production, sometimes it purges the previous data very quickly, leaving only one or two hours of data. When there is very low volume, it can sustain data up to five days. The visibility of the previous historic database is a feature that could be improved. Different tools can be used to empower this capability, such as Splunk or the ELK stack, which includes Elastic. There are different features that could be used, but Axway as an organization would likely implement their specific products. I am simply providing a very basic opinion anonymously and do not want to sound like I am against this organization.

Exceptional support and reliability drive optimal data flow and integration
The features of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite that I found most valuable are related to entity flow. We can find the entity flow to be very useful so we can grab the flow accordingly. There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues. When comparing to other applications, SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is the easiest way to understand the application. I have also worked on the cloud services where SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is moving to cloud. I have worked on cloud services where the mapping part is in the cloud itself, along with the connection setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The API portal capability is a valuable feature."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"This product is reliable and stable."
"Its flexibility allows us to adapt to different scenarios."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is security."
"This product is a ten when it comes to API management."
"My overall rating for SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is 10 out of 10."
"The solution's capabilities in fulfilling our existing B2B integration requirements are brilliant, and among our multiple customers we connect to SAP systems, JDE, all the various ERPs that you can possibly get, Oracle procurement systems, etc., and we haven't come across anything yet — and customers are trying to trip us up — that we can't do."
"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."
"I like that the tool has all the adapters — all the possible protocols that are in the industry. You pay for those adapters but at least it's all in one package. You don't have to get another tool or application to support another partner."
"It's the reliability. And the message tracking is quite good, where we can go in and see if we have an issue."
"Sitting around with SEEBURGER at a seminar in December and discussing their project plan for the future, I think this product is the way to go."
"We have absolutely seen ROI in terms of processing orders from customers, and the automation of processes is the best way to describe our return."
"Of all the projects where people have come to me, I can't remember having to say, "No, we can't do that.""
 

Cons

"Ultimately, from a very high-level overview, cloud platforms or Kong could have a slight advantage when compared to Axway AMPLIFY API Management."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"Team management capabilities could be improved."
"A significant area of improvement for Axway AMPLIFY API Management is the Amplify Central portal, which should help expose APIs on a webpage for potential customers."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"I think that the program's team management capabilities can be better as far as working in groups."
"The installation process is a bit complex and it could be a lot simpler."
"Axway's queuing messages could be enhanced."
"Among the things we have requested are improvements in the user interface and improvements that would be implemented by completely new modules or improvements in their Cloud Services."
"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening, so we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER and we only get a message that something has failed, often very generic and sometimes in German."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
"We occasionally get ZIP files. Sometimes the ZIP file has one file inside of it, and sometimes the ZIP file might have 30 files inside of it. We have been working with SEEBURGER to enhance their PKUNZIP process to be able to unzip multiple files in a single workflow instead of just one file."
"They need to be more competitively priced. From what I can see, their training is pretty expensive, and they don't do anything for free."
"We've lost a little bit of that personalization — someone who might know our business more."
"Their traditional model is a vendor flow. We are looking to do a customer-based flow, which which require significant development from SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). We are working with them to do this using their WebEDI. It is a brand new area for them, but it could be an option in the future."
"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. When you acquire a license you have full access to the solution, unlike other competitors such as Apigee X, where there are fragmented licenses. Some licenses only allow access to certain features while others allow access to more features. Upon procuring this solution's license, you will have full access to the solution, allowing you to experiment with all of its features."
"I had a problem at one time with their invoicing. I told them, then we worked on the process and improved it. They installed the connection between SAP and SEEBURGER BIS in Europe first. This was awhile ago. When I came along, I became involved in the project and started working with them. Every time that I made a request, the work was done well, but I was not receiving my invoices. I knew I had to pay for the work and was trying to find someone to send me the invoices or a report of what was being done. From that end, it was really not working. After a few years, I was complaining and not happy. At the end of the year, they would come with a long list of invoices to pay, which was really bad. So, I asked for a change. We worked on the process, and since five years ago, I have worked with SEEBURGER based in North America. Now, when I have a question, I know who to contact. They send me a report with invoices every month. They really reacted to my concern, and we improved the process. Since then, I have had no problem."
"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"Pricing has always seemed fair."
"The way they have their licensing structure set up, they have a lot of different modules. For us, we did not really know if we were licensed for certain things or not. We had to reach out to them multiple times to tell them that we were looking for this or that capability. We had to buy licenses for different things at different points in time, not knowing that we could have it bundled initially."
"I did a review of other options out there, as we moved into the future and our SAP implementation, that this would be the right solution. It was very comparable to other manage services out there. Thus, there wasn't any clear-cut reason to go in another direction."
"We pay per message we use. We spend about £19,000 a year with them."
"It has a very goofy pricing model in the sense that they have so many components and it's not very clear what components you require to do your work. When you ask for that, you learn that there's a surcharge for them. It's not that you buy a product and you can use all the compatibilities. They have all these different bits and pieces of it and you have to pay extra for all those things."
