Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."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."
"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."
"It’s very flexible."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"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."
"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."
"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."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
