Sayantan Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Shubham Bharti - PeerSpot reviewer
Versatile, streamlines the entire file transfer procedure, and offers good support
It might provide a more sophisticated and user-friendly experience, encouraging smoother interactions and facilitating simpler navigation for users using the application. The user interface (UI) could be improved. The absence of an extensive collection of ample training videos and comprehensive documentation within the current framework represents a missed opportunity. It could have greatly benefited new users, as such resources could have provided invaluable guidance, insights, and step-by-step instructions, ultimately aiding in the swift acclimatization to the software's functionalities and subsequently fostering a more intuitive and less daunting onboarding process for individuals who are just beginning to explore and engage with the software's capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"It provides a good amount of storage capacity for a reasonable price and has a good range of connectors."
"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."
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"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."
"It’s very flexible."
"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."
"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."
"The JSCAPE MFT Server offers support for diverse protocols such as FTP(S), SFTP, SCP, AFTP, OFTP, and TFPT."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"It offers audit trails and reporting tools, allowing users to track file transfers, monitor user activities, and produce regulatory compliance reports."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"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."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"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."
"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"Their monitoring is not up to the mark and needs improvement."
"The FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"Database crashing was seen whenever there was an overload."
"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"With constant software releases and updates, detailed notifications and documentation on the improvements along with the comparison of the past and present features would be helpful to understand and use it better."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AMPLIFY's license is a one-time investment."
"Pricing and licensing is related to the protocols you choose to support."
"The platform's price aligns with the market."
"It is quite expensive, and because of that, we get good service from them in return for the price paid."
"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
