Sayantan Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly and doesn't take much space when getting installed
When it comes to the tool's scalability, I cannot say that everything can be done in the best version. There is always a scope for improvement. The tool can try to make it a little bit more flexible so that we can easily invoke the APIs, and in such a way, it can be made a little bit better. In general, everything is fine with respect to the tool's scalability. My company has encountered some challenges. The tool does not allow the explicit port for some of the protocols, like FTP. We are still selling the tool to some of our clients. I feel they should allow us to do some testing for the SMB-related protocols or Windows path-related protocols, which we are not allowing, making it difficult for us to identify the issue with respect to those SMB protocols as well as Amazon S3's protocols. I believe it is an area that needs to be fixed so that it will help the end customer do those types of tests without the help of another external tool. As of now, I can remember only these two scenarios where improvements are needed.

Fast file transfers, good security, and helpful automation
Installation and configuration of JSCAPE is a bit complicated, providing the proper document helps to understand the tool and gain more knowledge on its features. The pricing of the JSCAPE MFT server seems higher considering some smaller businesses with a limited amount of budgets. To make it easier, the admin log and reporting system should be improved. I would appreciate it if the help and support team could more actively assist the users to resolve their Issues. Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"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."
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"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."
"It provides a good amount of storage capacity for a reasonable price and has a good range of connectors."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"It’s very flexible."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"JSCAPE provides high-level data encryption, which can help us share confidential and time-sensitive data across our global partners without any hassle."
"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."
"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."
 

Cons

"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"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."
"The areas in need of improvement are the monitoring and the cut-off management, when needed. Today you have at least two solutions: Buy the other Axway suite, Sentinel, or integrate it into your monitoring system."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"Their monitoring is not up to the mark and needs improvement."
"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."
"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."
"Setup is time-consuming."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."
"The platform's price aligns with the market."
"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."
"Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."
"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
