We performed a comparison between Axway AMPLIFY Managed File Transfer and IBM Sterling File Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."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."
"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"It’s very flexible."
"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 is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"I have found almost all the features valuable."
"Very high functionality with the ability to plug in your own code."
"This product has been a leader in the field of secure file exchange."
"It's highly configurable, there is no need for standalone scripting."
"The most valuable aspect is that it has good functionality."
"It offers easy utilization of resources for smooth transfers."
"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"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 initial setup was quite complex."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"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."
"IBM is advising not to use the IT translate anymore but this is going to be an extra cost to the customer to use the alternative."
"I would like to see auto-deployment without service disruptions."
"Not a ten because it's a bit complex, not so simple. It's one product but there are many screens."
"The API capabilities could be expanded to make integration more versatile."
"Too many features; UI is not good."
"The admin console needs some work."
