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.

User adaptability impresses with room for enhanced reporting features

The solution lacks a flow view wherein you will not be able to see the integrated jobs in a flow diagram view. This becomes trickier to understand which flow is failing unless you were part of the design team. Reporting for MOVEit needs a lot more work. For example, if I have to pull a task report for a specific requirement such as its history and task attributes, the report doesn't come in a CSV format, which is consumable. It always comes in a scripted format. When you have to show the report to management, they don't understand the scripted format. They need everything in Excel. The reporting feature needs to work on having it in an Excel format. It has been pretty stable, but we were hit by malicious malware attacks in the last two years more comparatively. Depending upon the type of license that is owned and the support with the license, it is up to par with other leading marketing tools.

Serves as a straightforward SFTP server that offers reasonably good support

I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult. Some support for the area revolving around PGP protocols in the product would be helpful. I think TIBCO could try to integrate better with API management software. TIBCO is a fairly solid product, but integration with some API management software should provide a better selling point since TIBCO would have some great API management capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"It’s very flexible."

"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."

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

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

"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."

"It provides a good amount of storage capacity for a reasonable price and has a good range of connectors."

"Especially at the time of monitoring, it's a nice way to take a look at the script and take a look at run time, which gives enough information for the files that are getting picked or not."

"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is that it is the easiest tool to transfer files from point A to point B."

"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."

"The major advantage is moving files as part of a workflow."

"The renaming and timestamp features are great."

"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."

"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."

"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."

More MOVEit pros

"They have great multi-factor authentication for extra security."

"TIBCO has its own integration tool."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to do centralized administration."

Cons

"Their monitoring is not up to the mark and needs improvement."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The initial setup was quite complex."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer cons

"In future releases, MOVEit could add support for some additional protocols. For example, I don't think they supported the SFTP or FTPS protocols at the time."

"The product must improve its security features."

"With the new other vendors coming up, they come up with certain features, in addition to the file transfer. But MOVEit does not develop their product. That's why we are looking out for other solutions."

"The DR solution (DR recoveries) needs to be enhanced."

"The scheduling features need improvement as currently there are standard scheduling possibilities that could be enhanced with more options and features, such as automatically creating checksum files."

"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."

"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."

"We have had some challenges. Earlier when we were setting it up, a component called gateway, which runs in the DMV, was not working as expected. It was going down very often. That means most of our vendors were not able to connect using SFTP because that service was down. We had to put in a lot of monitoring to make sure if that goes down, there is some visibility instantaneously so that our system admins can go and do a restart."

More MOVEit cons

"I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult."

"Their cloud product is not yet stable."

"The UI could be better."

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."

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

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

"It's cost-effective."

"Technical support is only available with a paid license."

"I haven't really priced out many other products like this, but I feel it's reasonable. Their upgrade support after hours was going to be $6,000. I just made the decision to wing it and just do it during business hours and call support if there was a problem."

"When compared to other products I've used, I believe MoveIt is worth the money someone might pay to use it."

"The price is very good for the complexity that the tool provides."
