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.

The solution can be used for internal file transfer, but its technical support and third-party integrations should be improved
I am comparing SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server, WS_FTP, and Wing FTP for my current company. We use the solution for multiple purposes, and it should be user-friendly when integrating something. We cannot always depend on the support team to come and fix the issues. Overall, I rate SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"The entire organization is using this product for external and internal file transfers."
"I think Axway AMPLIFY API Management is the best option on the market at the moment in the enterprise space."
"We have definitely seen a return on investment with Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer, as we have saved 20 to 30 hours per week of operational efficiency and issue resolution is 30 to 40% faster, reducing downtime and failed transfers."
"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer's governance and security are top-notch, and its accuracy and reliability of output are really reliable, with unmatched output that helps us complete our work in a fast-paced environment."
"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer has positively impacted our organization by making our work easy to use and saving most of our time."
"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."
"We use SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server for internal file transfer."
 

Cons

"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"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.)."
"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer can be improved with more logging or easier onboarding."
"Their monitoring is not up to the mark and needs improvement."
"During huge file transfers, sometimes the system becomes very slow when the load increases, especially when integrating with Flow Manager, causing flow deployment to slow down."
"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."
"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 solution’s technical support should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The platform's price aligns with the market."
"The pricing of the solution is INR 3,00,000."
