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

"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer positively impacts my organization because we pride ourselves on security, and using it helps convey that to our employees and clients, which speaks volumes."
"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."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"It’s very flexible."
"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer has positively impacted our organization by making our work easy to use and saving most of our time."
"The entire organization is using this product for external and internal file transfers."
"The technical support from Thru is great."
"The stability of Thru is very good."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"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 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."
"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer is a strong platform, but there are a few areas that could improve the experience."
"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."
"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."
"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."
"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."
"Overall, the price of the solution is good for what it does, but when you want to add some features it can get expensive."
