Room For Improvement

Axway AMPLIFY MFT requires enhancements in file handling, user interface, monitoring, integration, and documentation for improved performance and usability.
Globalscape EFT struggles with cloud integration, large file handling, and requires interface, performance, auditing, and functionality improvements.
An expanded API and automation would make it easier to integrate with DevOps tools to reduce manual tasks.
Senior System Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
There are a few features which are missing, perhaps including easier configuration for some of the protocols or file transfers.
Tech lead at BNP Paribas
It would be beneficial to improve integration capabilities, potentially add more built-in connectors, and include some AI capabilities.

Software Developer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Globalscape EFT is prone to errors because one single click can lead to a file being sent to another vendor, and it doesn't give any warning if the code goes out of certain loops.

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.

Seamless integration and enhanced automation streamline complex tasks while opportunities exist for improved batch file processing
The best feature of Globalscape EFT is that it has inbuilt encryption. We can use outside PGP encryption or we can use the inbuilt encryption as well, enabling us to do the encryption file transfer to the destinations. The other thing is that, by using the advanced workflow, we can make complex integrations for ease, and the workflow allows us to have alerts and everything by using email notifications through SMTP. We utilize the advanced automation capabilities, and we can also integrate to Azure. In one of the projects, we use Globalscape EFT as an intermediate integration and we use SAP BI where they send the files to Globalscape EFT. We take the files and push them to the banking system, where we get the response and return that back to the SAP system. Globalscape EFT can integrate with the Azure cloud systems as well. We can upload as many files as we can, and we can automate everything using SFTP software such as FileZilla, WinSCP, or any of the SFTP tools.
