Secure file transfers have supported compliant banking transactions and reduced manual scripting
Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer offers excellent security and logging features, specifically audit logging. The security and audit logging features help me in my daily work because the security is more flexible, allowing us to choose whatever ciphers we need, and Axway always ensures that the latest industry standards are met. We are never out of security or jeopardizing the security aspect. The flexibility of the protocols is a standout feature, as it is very reliable and allows us to select what protocol or ciphers we use. Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer has positively impacted my organization because it has effectively provided us with all of the work logs and made us very compatible with the outside world while enforcing security standards inside the company. It has made us compatible with the outside world by helping us live up to the standards of the external world, especially concerning recent cybersecurity issues. We are expecting to be compatible with and compliant with information security as well, which has given us the best advantage or edge for the world out there.

Exceptional support and reliability drive optimal data flow and integration
The features of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite that I found most valuable are related to entity flow. We can find the entity flow to be very useful so we can grab the flow accordingly. There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues. When comparing to other applications, SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is the easiest way to understand the application. I have also worked on the cloud services where SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is moving to cloud. I have worked on cloud services where the mapping part is in the cloud itself, along with the connection setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s very flexible."
"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"It provides a good amount of storage capacity for a reasonable price and has a good range of connectors."
"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer has positively impacted my organization because it has effectively provided us with all of the work logs and made us very compatible with the outside world while enforcing security standards inside the company."
"SEEBURGER BIS can reconcile documentation, like our accounts payable and statements within the system. If you are manually doing it, then it is really time consuming with a lot of errors. Whereas, SEEBURGER BIS allows for a lot of basic level programming within the documentation, filtering, and sorting out VLOOKUP. It lets us get two database tables from two different systems, then merge them based on the logic that we provide. So, it is a very helpful product."
"We can code in Java, which is really good feature. There is very vast command available, which can be used in mapping."
"One valuable feature is the scalability. We have not had to add processing power or hardware since we installed it. Also, we are able to create and deploy maps to migrate from another EDI platform very quickly."
"Having the SEEBURGER consulting team perform the installation alleviates a lot of headaches and ensures a stable system."
"What would have been a manual process of transmitting data items around between us and third-parties has been automated. SEEBURGER BIS handles the automation and mapping side of the communications. The automation, along with the efficiency around time and cost, has improved our organization. Around 20,000 messages a month have been automated. These typically would be financial/order transactions and confirmations in invoicing that have been automated."
"The solution helps us automate processes, more on the insurance side. Where they used to have to babysit monthly files, because of size, they don't have to do that with SEEBURGER BIS. They just run the monthly process. Files get collected, translated, and sent to the proper systems, so the babysitting is gone."
"The ease of integration of the SEEBURGER product into SAP was pretty seamless. There wasn't any trouble, there weren't any complexities."
"Mapping Designer provides excellent flexibility."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was quite complex."
"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.)."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their traditional model is a vendor flow. We are looking to do a customer-based flow, which which require significant development from SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). We are working with them to do this using their WebEDI. It is a brand new area for them, but it could be an option in the future."
"Providing more training materials, especially when new products are released, would be beneficial."
"In some of the other tools out there in the market, you can create one service and use that service without creating a copy. That kind of capability currently doesn't exist in this solution."
"API connectivity needs improvement as well as the GUI. The GUI hasn't changed that much in 10 years, but of course, that's already been updated. I would say I'm excited about the screenshots but that's about it."
"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening. So we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER. We only get a message that something has failed... we have to open a ticket with SEEBURGER for them to tell us exactly what the issue is... I would like us to be able to be more self-sufficient."
"All the topics we've identified have been placed on the SEEBURGER roadmap already... Among the things we have requested are improvements in the user interface and improvements that would be implemented by completely new modules or improvements in their Cloud Services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's price aligns with the market."
"Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."
"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."
"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"We have additional ad hoc development costs, but those vary depending on if we're bringing on another third-party into our systems via the EDI integration. So, that's highly variable."
"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."
"We pay maintenance of between $75,000 and $100,000 per year, per box."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."
"I had a problem at one time with their invoicing. I told them, then we worked on the process and improved it. They installed the connection between SAP and SEEBURGER BIS in Europe first. This was awhile ago. When I came along, I became involved in the project and started working with them. Every time that I made a request, the work was done well, but I was not receiving my invoices. I knew I had to pay for the work and was trying to find someone to send me the invoices or a report of what was being done. From that end, it was really not working. After a few years, I was complaining and not happy. At the end of the year, they would come with a long list of invoices to pay, which was really bad. So, I asked for a change. We worked on the process, and since five years ago, I have worked with SEEBURGER based in North America. Now, when I have a question, I know who to contact. They send me a report with invoices every month. They really reacted to my concern, and we improved the process. Since then, I have had no problem."
"The pricing is cheap. In fact, when I saw the pricing, I thought, "Really? What's the catch?" But the functionality that we get out of it, for the price we pay, is great value."
