User-friendly and doesn't take much space when getting installed

When it comes to the tool's scalability, I cannot say that everything can be done in the best version. There is always a scope for improvement. 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. In general, everything is fine with respect to the tool's scalability. My company has encountered some challenges. The tool does not allow the explicit port for some of the protocols, like FTP. We are still selling the tool to some of our clients. I feel they should allow us to do some testing for the SMB-related protocols or Windows path-related protocols, which we are not allowing, making it difficult for us to identify the issue with respect to those SMB protocols as well as Amazon S3's protocols. I believe it is an area that needs to be fixed so that it will help the end customer do those types of tests without the help of another external tool. As of now, I can remember only these two scenarios where improvements are needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"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."

"It’s very flexible."

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

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

"It provides a good amount of storage capacity for a reasonable price and has a good range of connectors."

"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."

"It is a very stable product."

"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."

"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."

"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."

"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."

"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."

Cons

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

"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup was quite complex."

"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."

More Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer cons

"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."

"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."

"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."

"The deployment should be simplified."

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."

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."

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

"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
