Centralized monitoring has improved secure file transfers and supports proactive operations

Centralized monitoring and alerting make it easier and quicker to identify failed or delayed transfers. Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer has secure protocol support like SFTP, FTPS, and HTTPS, which allow safe data exchange with different partners. These features have positively impacted the organization by improving transfer reliability, strengthening security and compliance, reducing manual effort, and enabling faster issue resolutions. This helps ensure consistent delivery and better partner satisfaction. The automation and scheduling capability is especially valuable as it allows us to standardize recurring transfers, reduce manual interventions, and minimize errors. I also appreciate the retry and recovery mechanism, which helps ensure files are delivered when there are temporary network or partner-side issues. Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer's scalability and centralized management allow us to manage multiple partners and high volume from a single platform while maintaining strong security and visibility. Overall, the feature set helps us keep transfers reliable, secure, and easy to support in a production environment.

There are a number of security options that allow you to use ciphers of your preference, as well as very high key length.

They have built a Dropbox-like interface for secure file sharing to external parties using their CompleteBox client and I'd like to see this feature set expanded and built upon further as having a secure internal-only Dropbox solution is very attractive to us. Also, we would like the ability to whitelist IP addresses/networks so that those IP addresses are always allowed access and aren't put on the ban/abusers list.

Has enabled secure, centralized file sharing while saving significant time and resources

The best features in GoAnywhere MFT are that it's fast, reliable, and secure. First, the improvement is that we have resolved one of our security points with compliance. So that compliance point we resolved. And also it's a centralized file sharing system. All the users are able to access the file. There is no one-to-one sharing. It's improved about 80 to 85%. It saves about 80 to 90% resources. In terms of time, we can say 90 to 95% time is also saved because it avoids the one-to-one sharing and simply a user can put one centralized directory and all the users are able to access this solution and access the file. So it's 95%.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."

"It is a good product, stable, and you can use it on different levels, and on platforms."

"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."

"In the past, we needed multiple IT personnel to set up the file transfers, but now we have a three-person team handling all file transfer requests for the entire organization, which is a massive return on investment."

"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."

"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."

"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."

"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer has positively impacted our organization by making our work easy to use and saving most of our time."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer pros

"Overall, it's a solid secure file transferring server - SFTP/FTPS/SCP/HTTPS."

"We are the core users in our organization that use this application to transfer files between organizations in a secure manner, protecting data at rest and data in transit."

"It enabled us to allocate staff toward other work. All the time that we would have wasted worrying about this stuff and correcting problems is put into other parts of our job. That's one of the best things about it, is that we don't waste time on these projects. We just don't have to worry about them because it lets us know if there's a problem."

"If I have a job that I need to run on the system and I want the data transferred, I can use GoAnywhere and schedule it on a daily basis, a weekly basis, or whatever, and it does the job for me to transfer the files over to the other systems, or back and forth."

"The use of this product has helped improve our organization and its ability to send or receive. It has done this by allowing us to remove any homegrown process and centralize needed actions."

"If it's dealing with SFTP or any kind of secure transfer, we don't hear about it; it's good and everything works."

"The best features I enjoy about GoAnywhere MFT are its automation and workflow studio; we use its drag and drop interface for building workflows in interpreter and powerful mode, which is the best feature we appreciate about this tool."

"Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT supports the PeSIT protocol."

"It is very easy to use. It is easy to create projects in a graphical environment. The configuration and the setup of the environment is very easy"

More GoAnywhere MFT pros

Cons

"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."

"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."

"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer is a strong platform, but there are a few areas that could improve the experience."

"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."

"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer can be improved with more logging or easier onboarding."

"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer cons

"The only hassle that sometimes happens is that some of our international IP addresses get blacklisted sometimes and have to be removed from the blacklist."

"The process of adding a vendor is very easy for us, but maybe the documentation on that could be a little more straightforward."

"Sometimes file sharing gets failed. Many of the users in the last week faced the issue that the files are not delivered."

"GoAnywhere MFT can be synchronized with artificial intelligence so that it can briefly explain what kind of document it is."

"The solution's built-in functions could be better; I want to see easier file transfers and management."

"What I can suggest right now about GoAnywhere MFT is the integration of AI for chat support, as I am still trying to find my way around the app."

"For instance, if an account on a secure FTP server has expired, the monitor that uses that account doesn't announce to us that it's having a problem."

"It would be helpful to have a way to actually have a job run without notifying the email addresses you have set up and without posting to the actual FTP... when you need to make a small change to a job that is deployed to production, and test that change, you have to go back and reset everything. It's not really a great way to test."

"I believe that GoAnywhere MFT can be improved because the initial setup is somewhat challenging for a new user, so they need to make the initial feature easier for everyone, whether new or experienced users."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's price aligns with the market."

"It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."

"Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."

"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."

Information not available

"It is moderately priced. If I compare it with other products that we have been using, its price is moderate. There are approximately 30% to 40% savings."

"GoAnywhere was the most attractively priced product that met our needs. In our PoC it really came down to MOVEit and GoAnywhere, and GoAnywhere's pricing was about 30 percent less."

"The product is not cheap, but it is not expensive."

"It is very attractive. In terms of the capacity of the product and functionality, it is a good price."

"The cost was definitely within reason and it has definitely been worth the cost, based on how much we can automate. It has exceeded my expectations."

"I get the invoices, and its price is fine and appropriate. It is well priced. Even if it was double the price, we'd use it. For us, it is indispensable. We're not going to go anywhere else. There are no additional costs. Its licensing is good. There is just one charge that we get. That's it."

"HelpSystems GoAnywhere MFT is very reasonably priced for the value it brings."

"Its pricing is fair. It is not the most expensive, and it is not the cheapest. For what we get in our environment, the pricing model works pretty well."
