GC
Principal Solution Architect at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
The solution is robust and affordable, but it needs to improve its scalability and visibility of integrations
The initial setup is easy. It is very simple to start with. The last release from Axway provided many ways to simplify and speed up integration. The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises. We use Google, Amazon, and Azure as our cloud providers. The time taken for deployment is very short because the tool is robust.
CL
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
Drag and drop capabilities simplify service development for easy building
It is drag and drop. Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end. It is easier to build services with BusinessWorks. When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier. It is easy to integrate, especially when the architecture is well-designed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."
"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."
"The product is robust."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks' real-time data exchange capability has benefited our customers greatly; we conduct a lot of messaging with Superstream and external partners, so it works well for us."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"Good performance and reliability."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
 

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."
"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."
"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."
 

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."
"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
"The product is not expensive."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"The product is not cheap."
