We are still learning about Embedded Analytics, sometimes it feels overwhelming with the info available and connecting dots. It was not that straight forward, but the Axway support made the implementation smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the data processing and process automation capabilities of the Amplify Platform. It helps me collect comprehensive and right data for business needs. It can connect data to algorithms effectively, recognize sequence, and give correct predictions. Training it for the future adds value. I found the initial setup nice and easy, as it guides you step-by-step in collecting data and making predictions, suggesting the right tool till deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it takes some time to train for the right output. It would be better if I could collect old data beforehand and prepare solutions based on real-time needs, instead of it getting trained at runtime. Also, learning at runtime for new scenarios would improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although Axway API Gateway is feature-rich, there are notable challenges. Log management under high-traffic conditions can be problematic, as logs frequently roll over, making issue investigation difficult. To maintain comprehensive log retention, organizations often need to implement an additional solution such as Elasticsearch, which introduces extra complexity and cost if the organization does not already have such a system in place.

What I appreciate most is the ease of integration and the way so many features work together to enforce governance across the board. The platform serves as more than just a gateway; it acts as a central control plane for all our policies. Implementation is especially smooth for my team thanks to the CLI, which allows us to programmatically deploy new API specs from Git directly into the registry. This programmatic workflow is essential for our shift-left testing pipeline, and because it runs with every developer commit, we use the platform constantly. Policy testing is also straightforward and user-friendly. I don't have to worry about which gateway brand the API is running on, I simply test the policy and check for the expected 401 or 429 status codes. That level of universal governance is the platform's standout feature. Additionally, the API contract retrieval capability serves as my single source of truth, automatically preventing breaking changes. While I haven't needed to contact customer support myself, the platform has proven to be very stable, and the documentation is sufficient to get our automation up and running.

I don't have major complaints because the governance enforcement is excellent. However, if I had to point out an issue, it would be the complexity of the initial setup. Integrating the platform with all our various API gateways, is far from straightforward. The initial configuration required to enable universal governance is time consuming and demands specialized expertise. Additionally, since I rely entirely on the CLI and API for automation, I am heavily dependent on the documentation. If I encounter a bug or need a feature that isn't fully available through the command line yet, I end up having to use the UI, which undermines my automation efforts.

I appreciate how well-built and well-structured the Amplify Platform is, which enhances my ability to centralize project data effectively. I love its ability to replace scattered spreadsheets, project tools, and manual reporting, streamlining our processes significantly. Additionally, I find it flexible and configurable to our specific KPIs, which allows us to tailor the platform according to our unique requirements and maximize its utility in our projects.

I find the Amplify Platform complex to navigate at first, which can be daunting. Specifically, the configuration layers around benefits modeling, dependencies, and reporting hierarchies feel particularly challenging to grasp. Additionally, initial setup wasn't entirely straightforward, as I would rate the ease of setup as 6 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about the Amplify Platform is its user-friendly interface and powerful automation capabilities. It streamlines complex workflows, integrates seamlessly with various tools, and provides valuable insights through analytics. The platform’s flexibility and scalability make it easy to adapt to different business needs while maintaining great performance and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the Amplify Platform is powerful and versatile, I sometimes find that certain advanced features require a bit of a learning curve. Additionally, occasional system slowdowns or minor UI inconsistencies can affect the overall user experience. However, these are small issues compared to the platform’s overall capabilities and benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Amplify is its federated architecture. It lets us manage APIs across multiple gateways, clouds, and on prem systems without forcing us to rip out what we already have. The discovery/catalog features help devs actually find existing APIs instead of rebuilding things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup can be somewhat complex, especially when integrating with legacy systems or multiple clouds. Sometimes the learning curve for less-experienced team members is steep. Also, documentation exists but occasionally lacks deep examples for custom or edge use cases. The UI, while good, could be smoother in certain parts (e.g. onboarding external developers or configuring complicated workflows). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the Amplify Platform for its ease of use and excellent service. It stands out because other platforms I've tried are more complicated, which makes Amplify Platform a more attractive option. The platform's straightforward nature simplifies my tasks, especially those involving complex inventory management in Excel. The initial setup of Amplify Platform was exceptionally easy, which further enhances my experience and efficiency with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the Amplify Platform could benefit from offering more training classes. While the platform is easy to use, additional training opportunities could enhance user proficiency and ensure that all functionalities are effectively utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once policies have been added, it is easy to use. Customer support is quick initial response, and the product is our entry point for any requests coming into the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upgrading the product tends to be a tedious process, often accompanied by numerous issues. We have consistently struggled to complete upgrades within our planned timeframes, as problems seem to arise each time. Additionally, Axway support can take quite a while to deliver a solution, which adds to our frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

API Management and Gateway capabilities provide strong feasibility by simplifying end-to-end API lifecycle management while ensuring consistent enforcement of security standards across all APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be valuable to explore the availability of out-of-the-box connectors & AI features offered by the API Gateway for integration with SaaS platforms and identity management solutions and assess whether these capabilities are already supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
