Axway AMPLIFY Platform vs. Swagger Open Source, supported by SmartBear

It's a great application to backup your data automatically to the cloud and then access later. The automatic restore of certain folders is handy and one less thing to worry about when you're setting up a new PC again. I haven't really encountered any issues with Syncplicity to have any thoughts where it could be improved or where it wouldn't work.

To my opinion Swagger Open Source is a very good tool to quickly produce an api documentation, that how I use it.Swagger can also produce an open api file to generate an api for our application server (Inersystems Iris) but we don't use this functionality for now. We plan to use more Swagger features in the future.

• By default, it is setup to backup my Desktop Shortcuts, My Documents, and my Internet Explorer Favorites folders. When I sign into a new PC, it automatically syncs these items, making it easy for my data to travel with me.
• I'm able to easily share my items/folders with coworkers, granting them read or read/write access as required.
• I like that items that are shared with me allow me to choose to sync them to my PC or not. This allows me to sync smaller items like documents and spreadsheets, but keep things like webex recordings stored in the cloud and not using up gigabtyes of space on my PC. :)
• I like that, during times when I want to free up resources, I can pause the syncing of files.

• Produce documentation
• user interface to create api definition
• reusability of data description

• I would appreciate it if it backed up more than just Desktop, Favorites and Documents by default. I'm not sure if this was something chosen by my employer, but it would be nice if the whole profile folder was backed up by default, so my pictures, music, and videos folders were included.

• for me the UI can be more simple
• too many functionnalities when just want to produce doc, can be a separate app
• A french documentation will be apreciated

I use CrashPlan for my personal PC at home. I think both products have their pluses and minuses. Both products allow you to backup your selected data to the cloud. CrashPlan doesn't easily allow for file sharing (CrashPlan isn't really a collaboration tool as much as it is a backup tool). Both products have easy restore options. However Syncplicity automatically restoring certain data when syncing with a new PC is very handy and a feature that CrashPlan doesn't offer

We use swagger only to generate the API documentation, for testing the APIs, we use Postman. We don't find an other tools for producing API documentation in web pages and also in pdf files. Postman is a good complement for testing APIs on InterSystems IRIS (a powerful application server and DB manager) which implements these APIs.

• The ease of use saves me a lot of time.
• Being able to easily share files with my coworkers also saves me time.
• This allowed my company to reduce the size of our file server and in doing so, reduced our storage budget.

Incentivized

• Less time to produce our documentation
• Documentation can be accessed online, this is a plus for our customers and partners
• Great tools to communicate with other project actors
