We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system.""It is an easy-to-use and stable product.""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.""AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer.""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."

Cons
"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.""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.""The initial setup was quite complex.""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.""Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
