Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data. Thus, legacy licensing for these databases needs improvement.

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. 

Also, Axway Amplify doesn't have built-in analytics, so you need to use another product for that. It would be helpful if they could do some basic analytics, like statistics for a 24-hour period. I'd like to see something simple that shows how many file transfers came in and went out from the environment, and how many failed. 

I would also like to see Axway implement online patch management. We have to take the application completely offline to apply the patch and then restart. Other applications support online patch management, so I would appreciate it if they could do something similar. Of course, a restart would still be required, but online patch management could significantly reduce our downtime.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.).
