Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer Reviews

I will have to go at a very high level in my description because I use it for my clients. It is used to transfer files, especially those of big size.

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

I am looking for a kind of feature in terms of high performance and high visibility in a system or solution. So right now, this is not the feature we are using now, but we are searching for this kind of a solution.

I have been using Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer for about four months.

For now, we are satisfied with the solution's stability.

I don't know if it's scalable because we don't need to scale up.

The client for whom I deployed the solution had 100 users, but not at the same time. So if I had to consider that, I would say maybe 30 to 40 people. So, only 30 to 40 accounts are usually connected for doing transfers.

We have contacted the support team, and I feel that they are quite efficient.

The initial setup was quite complex. For the setup of the production, the time taken for the deployment was a month.

A project manager, two engineers, one DBA, and one business analyst are required for the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

Whom to choose for the implementation part depends, so for knowledge, an integrator can be a good choice.

It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid. If you have to compare it with other solutions, Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer is quite expensive.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I rate the overall solution a six out of ten.

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 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.
