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

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

"The entire organization is using this product for external and internal file transfers."

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

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

"It is a good product, stable, and you can use it on different levels, and on platforms."

"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."

"It’s very flexible."

"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."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer pros

"The stability of Thru is very good."

"The technical support from Thru is great."

Cons

"The areas in need of improvement are the monitoring and the cut-off management, when needed."

"Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer can be improved with more logging or easier onboarding."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer cons

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."

"The platform's price aligns with the market."

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

"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."
