Feature Details
Full application state and event tracking
AMP is the only game server control panel that implements full state tracking. AMP does this in a consistent way across all of its supported applications, meaning that it can provide a consistent interface for all of them. This allows AMP to provide features such as Analytics and let you schedule actions based on player actions.
Full-time Development
AMP is developed full-time by CubeCoders, specializing in server management software, resulting in frequent updates and robust support. Pterodactyl is driven by volunteers, leading to slower updates and reduced accountability.
Increased Security
AMP uses no server-side scripting and implements runtime protections, reducing vulnerability to code injection attacks. Pterodactyl, on the other hand, uses server-side scripting and lacks security features like code signing.
Consolidated leadership and vision
AMP has a consistent track record of updates and support, while Pterodactyl has faced fragmentation and uncertainty.
OIDC Single-Sign-On (SSO) Support
AMP supports OIDC, allowing control of user accounts through an external identity provider. Pterodactyl requires managing multiple user accounts within the panel itself.
Cross-platform Support
AMP supports both Windows and Linux systems, while Pterodactyl is strictly Linux-only, limiting operational flexibility.
Simplified Installation and Maintenance
AMP offers a one-command installation process on Linux systems and easy updates via package manager. In contrast, Pterodactyl has a more complicated installation and manual update process.
Automatic Firewall Management
AMP can automatically update firewall rules, while Pterodactyl lacks this capability, adding to administrative tasks.
In-depth Management
AMP provides comprehensive state tracking and a visual interface for configuration, whereas Pterodactyl requires manual editing of configuration files.
Mobile App
AMP supports a mobile-friendly management experience via a Progressive Web App, unlike Pterodactyl which lacks a mobile interface.
Extensibility
AMP has a stable plugin API for long-term compatibility, while Pterodactyl's lack of a stable API can lead to complications with updates.
