Pros and Cons
  • "We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
  • "The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case for BizTalk Server is within the shipping industry environment. Our organization relies heavily on electronic data interchange for government invoices and related system data.

What is most valuable?

The platform's most valuable feature is code integration.

What needs improvement?

The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities. Specifically, enhancements in monitoring and logging capabilities and better support for administrative tasks would be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using BizTalk Server for 3 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. It has been in operation for more than 24 years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 60 BizTalk Server users in our organization.

How are customer service and support?

We have contacted the technical support services.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

The switch to BizTalk Server was driven by the company's preference for using Microsoft products exclusively.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of the BizTalk Server can be described as complex and challenging. It involves tightly coupled configurations, particularly when transitioning to multi-load balancing environments and multiple architectures.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am not familiar with the platform's pricing details. However, based on the knowledge, it is relatively cheaper than Azure Identity Services and cloud services in general.

What other advice do I have?

It is a legacy system with reliability and extensive features in one package. It is easy to integrate with third-party solutions. We have some 22 built-in adapters with Microsoft, which you can use to connect to older or newer versions.

It takes around six months to understand everything about the BizTalk server. When we restart our integration, we have to understand the core concepts of integration. The concepts are more theoretical than practical.

I rate the product an eight out of ten. It is reliable, especially when load balancing or processing millions of messages daily. We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
