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 administration tool for this solution is good."
"We like the portal for documentation a lot."
"It provides very strong security functionality to protect information in an easier way."
"Axway AMPLIFY API Management is niche technology that people prefer because it has emerged beautifully and has very nice support and enterprise-level features which are not provided by cloud Azure or AWS."
"The most valuable features are security enforcement and throttling."
"This product is reliable and stable."
"For what we do, the API portal capability is the most valuable feature."
"Centralized API Platform allow us better reusability and monitoring"
"The ease of integration of the SEEBURGER product into SAP was pretty seamless. There wasn't any trouble, there weren't any complexities."
"What would have been a manual process of transmitting data items around between us and third-parties has been automated, and the automation, along with the efficiency around time and cost, has improved our organization, with around 20,000 financial and order transaction messages a month now being automated."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) has been good at communicating between two applications, changing formats and using the required protocols... We can have one site communicating in an old FTP or SFTP style, or via file transfer. And with other applications, we could have API or a web service call or some other protocol used to send information."
"My overall rating for SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is 10 out of 10."
"It's the reliability. And the message tracking is quite good, where we can go in and see if we have an issue."
"We use Message Tracking, which is a very good feature. Message Tracking has about 300 to 400 business people who can find documents and ask the integration team about them. For example, they looking for a document that the vendor or trading partner tells them that they sent, but they don't see it in the ERP system yet. So, they go to SEEBURGER Message Tracking, which can tell them if we received it already from the outside and what happened, e.g., if it went to SEEBURGER BIS or if it's already in the ERP system. It's a very simple tool to use. They also can use that tool to see the source document."
"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
 

Cons

"They should also improve the way that we upgrade from one version to another. In our case, it's been very troublesome."
"In terms of customer service, the company needs to be easier to contact, and the support team needs to understand the situation and the product itself better."
"This solution does have some limitations regarding the deployment model."
"Areas of improvement include marketing and enhancing the data products area by using ETIs."
"Sometimes we find bugs where certain calls are not returning all the data we need."
"The product shows a lack of maturity. The setup is difficult, the tech support and community are lacking, and it is not very stable."
"The API Mocking tools need to be improved."
"The portal still has room for improvement."
"In some of the other tools out there in the market, you can create one service and use that service without creating a copy. That kind of capability currently doesn't exist in this solution."
"When we got SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS), it was clear that it was going to take more of a technical person. It does take a technically-rooted individual to operate it."
"The initial set up was done by SEEBURGER consulting. It can be complex due to various factors, such as server settings, database settings, and security settings."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"I find the solution quite confusing to use, especially when looking at the tree structure."
"The ability to bind a mapping to an agreement seems a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a better way of navigating to a map name rather than using a drop down list."
"The integration is not so excellent. The technical side of their system is very good, but their change process is not repeatable."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
 

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."
"We pay for a maximum number of setups, then we pay per customer map, and we pay maintenance on each one of those. BIS provides the flexibility to pay as you grow. The price of each customer map is €200 and the hourly rate for maintenance is fairly reasonable."
"The only thing that would be an improvement would be if they had a cost model whereby you could just pay for what you're actually using. Even if it were a minimum monthly charge that they offered, if you're not utilizing all of that then they should consider a lower tier. That way, they could attract more business."
"We pay maintenance of between $75,000 and $100,000 per year, per box."
"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"Price and licensing are comparable to other systems. It's well-priced and simple. It's not user-based or anything. It's just per seat, per system. So, it's pretty straight forward. Because it's per system, one system is enough. However, if you want to make it larger, then you can grow with it."
"We pay per message we use. We spend about £19,000 a year with them."
"The cost-based model is slightly different now in SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). They changed the licensing, based on adapters and other things. In the old style of licensing, the whole suite was one license..."
"They need to be more competitively priced. When it comes to training, they need to lower their prices. It shouldn't be so specific. Maybe they should outsource training to another company. From what I can see, their training is pretty expensive, and they don't do anything for free."
