Find out in this report how the two Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"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."
"The most important aspect is the ability to integrate different platforms."
"It saves a lot of time for maintenance."
"The file transfer, database, and integration features are the most valuable."
"It is a highly scalable solution...I rate the product's initial setup a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
"What I like best about BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer is that it makes transfers more secure and faster. It has a recovery feature during failed file transfers."
"Dashboard and recovery are the features I found most valuable in the solution."
"It has a nice dashboard for loading up the file transfers, so it's easy to follow the success or failure rates of the operations."
"The job scheduling and file transfer are two major, important features."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"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."
"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."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"Its price could be better."
"The solution lacks a graphical user interface for reporting."
"The structure between the Control-M/Server and Control-M/Agent could possibly be improved."
"Its current functionalities can be upgraded."
"Password vaulting would be a feature that should be included."
"Scalability is something that needs to be improved."
"I believe that the API should be upgraded with security control from the DM. There is Currently no security for the app API solution."
"An area for improvement in BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer is integration. It should be compatible with more solutions. It should have integrations with newer applications as well."
