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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The capability to write for my specific needs, meaning the possibility of easily extending the product features to get what I need, is a very important feature for managing transfers with different environments and is very helpful for troubleshooting."

"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."

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

"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’s very flexible."

"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."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer pros

"The stability of Thru is very good."

"The technical support from Thru is great."

Cons

"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."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

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

"Axway is stable up to a certain point, but when the number of file transfers multiplies, the application sometimes crashes."

"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."

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

"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer cons

"We purchased the basic solution, only to realize that there is an add-on model that would allow us to manage workflows automatically. However, it was very expensive, so we did not use it."

"The initial setup of Thru needed an engineer to be involved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Overall, the price of the solution is good for what it does, but when you want to add some features it can get expensive."
