We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is robust.""Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution.""The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business.""Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly.""It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy.""App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container.""Technical support is good.""The most valuable feature is the security.""I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools.""When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere.""We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."

Cons
"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished.""Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution.""The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises.""The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

More Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration Cons →

"The setup time for App Connect could be improved.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""The product should improve its support.""It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it.""Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find.""IBM App Connect should improve security features.""IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement.""Updates are constantly delayed."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."
  • "The product is not expensive."
  • "Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
  • More Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very expensive if we want to scale."
  • "The price could be better."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
  • "The cost depends upon the consumer."
  • "Initially, App Connect was quite expensive because the cost was based on the number of processors we used. However, it's now based on containers, which means we can be more specific about our consumption and get a better price."
  • "The solution's pricing isn't cheap, but you can get good discounts based on your competitive deal."
