Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer Reviews

If I want to have a file here and I want to get it to someone, then we can use file transfer to encrypt the file from my location to the new location. It’s a managed file transfer. It’s a secure line. We can transfer one file or hundreds of files. We can also receive encrypted files. It’s always checking to see if the files we send or receive are 100% safe.

There's some programming you can use however you like. There are different loaders, from user passwords to connections to different levels of databases and you can use it from Oracle, Windows, you name it. It’s very flexible.

We are pretty happy with the solution. There haven’t been any shortcomings.

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

I’ve been using the solution for four or five years.

The solution is very stable. We’ve used it for five years or so without issue. There are no bugs or glitches.

It is quite scalable. If a company needs to expand, it can do so.

I’m not a direct contact person. I don’t deal with technical support. I can’t say how helpful or responsive they are.

The initial setup is very simple, very straightforward. We didn’t find it to be overly complex.

I’m a customer and an end-user.

We are using either the latest version of the solution or one older version.

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

I’d rate it an eight out of ten as I am pretty happy with its capabilities.

We use the platform as a gateway for data exchange between internal and external applications.

The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system. The key advantage is to provide a robust DMZ environment.

It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts. This particular area needs improvement. There could be an endpoint connection for multiple operations.

We have been using Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer for 20 years.

The product doesn't scale for data transfer processes. It works slowly in case of multiple files, delaying the real-time transfer process. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.

The technical support services are good regarding response time and first-level support.

The initial setup is fast. The process is very well documented.

The platform's price aligns with the market.

We explored a lot of products. We decided to go with Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer as it is more compliant with our requirements.

Axway AMPLIFY has proven beneficial for operational efficiency, leading to significant time savings. It showcases a robust performance, particularly in handling peak loads or large volumes of file transfers. It is easy to integrate with third-party solutions as well.

I recommend it for managing complex file transfers. However, I recommend open-source products for smaller companies with limited business requirements.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We have used it since 2009, creating a new MFT platform based on it; upgraded over the years.

It helps connect different environments (zOS, Windows, *nix, and others) with minimal effort.

The capability to write for my specific needs, meaning the possibility of easily extending the product features to get what I need.

Also, 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 for troubleshooting.

The areas in need of improvement are the monitoring and the cutoff management, when needed. Today you have at least two solutions: Buy the other Axway suite, Sentinel, or integrate it into your monitoring system.

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

No issues. Up to today, the limits are related to the OS.

Not yet.

Very good support, a high rating for onsite, phone, and web support.

We chose this solution to extend functionalities, not to switch.

The setup is quite easy and very affordable for any sys admin. My experience is limited to Windows Server systems only.

Pricing and licensing are related to the protocols you choose to support.

At that time, 2009, there was a solution available from Sterling (today IBM) and another from Primeur.

For basic functions it's easy to onboard, it just requires a bit of effort. To go further, it can be helpful to know a programming language (I choose Perl because I'm used to it).

It's a good product to work with.

• File transfers
• Tracking
• Robustness
• Security

The entire organization is using this product for external and internal file transfers. This makes it a central hub for transfers.

Linking file transfer transactions to give end-to-end visibility.

I have used Secure Transport for four years.

We have had no major stability issues.

I would give technical support a rating of 9/10.

We didn’t have a previous solution.

The pricing is decent.

We evaluated IBM Sterling Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway.

Ensure that you are on the latest version and have the best support package for a quick resolution from the vendor.
