Enables message routing and provides a secure way to communicate between two systems
The AS2 communication protocol is one of the most advanced processes. It enables a handshake with the source and target systems using certificates. It is the most secure way of communicating between two systems. It is an advantage. We can do a lot of message routing. If we want to handle large data, we can put the data into different patterns to process it. We can do it through sequential convoy or parallel convoy orchestration. BizTalk comes with SQL Server. We can load temporary data in the database and use the batch process from BizTalk. It is an added advantage. Creating agreements is a manual job, but it's quite easy in BizTalk. Even a fresh college graduate can configure AS2 certificates and partner profiles and communicate with other systems. It is easy.

Ready to use, with no need for customization
We currently operate in a banking domain. It helps to take daily backups of database. The BMC TrueSight helps in following the Reserve Bank guidelines and scheduling the back up as necessary. The solution creates a back-up and re-evaluates all the necessary information, alarming us in case there is a set of missing information. In case the backup fails, it also has an error handling mechanism is present, sending real-time messages and alerts in the form of emails to responsible teams. We have minimized the L1 and L2 activities, currently allowing us to only deal with L3 activities. If there are any errors in terms of backup, the incident is directly raised to Level 3. This automation has helped us save about 5 million pounds. It is also capable of no-manual intervention, where onboarding can be done without any manual assistance. The GUI offered by this solution is currently not available in the market. Whenever the details of customers are entered in the GUI, the process is carried out smoothly in the background without any issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."
"The AS2 communication protocol is one of the most advanced processes."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support."
"Essentially, you can do whatever you like with these systems, and you do not have to take care about the scaling because if one server is overloaded, it just forwards the message to the next server, even if it were designated to a specific server. It weeds out the messages according to the load. If you want to scale it, you just add new servers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
"We can implement compliance standards with the solution. You can also do patching so that the environment is compliant and secure from external threats and hacking. We can provision multiple systems with the help of predefined templates that the organization has forwarded us. The solution’s users can also integrate multiple products which can be either BMC or non-BMC. There are numerous possibilities that can be done with server automation"
"This solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is easy. The deployment was done in an hour."
"We particularly like the integration functionality of this solution. This product is open API, which means that it can be integrated with any solution from any other brand."
"The best thing about TrueSight is the user interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. It supports accessibility and exporting, so we can output to the format we require. We can use TrueSight to integrate nearly any other product. I can't think of another product that can match this functionality. We also have Microsoft Orchestrator, but it can't match BMC TrueSight Orchestration."
"The automation helps in payment transactions through BHIM app. The BMC helps in smooth clearance of all payments without using MasterCard or Visa. The solution is ready to use, and there is no need for customization or resources. We can complete integration over cloud and on-premise, and even using mainframes. The automation are secure through BMC TrueSight Orchestration."
"I find the provisioning to be the most valuable."
"The product has a very good triggering mechanism."
 

Cons

"The deployment could be simplified."
"BizTalk lacks native cloud support. BizTalk doesn't offer in-built support for cloud. We need to use third-party adapters to connect it to cloud services."
"BizTalk Server needs improvements, especially because we use it for EDI messaging, and it would be very useful to have enhanced tracking capabilities for message tracking and archiving of messages."
"The product's deployment can be quicker"
"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."
"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."
"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together. Whether it's sensible or not, is up to you, but the machine does allow it. But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex."
"It would be helpful if TrueSight could log errors in a better format. I would also like to see more connector support. Let's say I have a third-party vendor that I need to integrate with Ansible. It would be helpful if BMC announced a specific connector for that. I've encountered situations where I need to work with scripts or find another way to integrate a particular product with TrueSight Orchestration. BMC already supports many products. For example, we have a connector for Ansible, but I think it needs to be improved some."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration is difficult to understand. It's not very user-friendly."
"At present this solution is only available to be hosted on-premises, which can cause network issues when integration with cloud-based software is attempted."
"The solution should move to the cloud. Every application from the BMC is on the container and moving to the cloud. There is also a number of limitations for the smart reporting feature of the TrueSight server which is not working in sync. We did not get any satisfactory reply from BMC on that note. We are not able to do the real-time sync between HSA and non-HSA service reporting tools and the actual application tools."
"We are aiming for AI automation and look for support from BMC. The features are currently missing but we are hoping for some upgrade in this matter."
"BMC TrueSight Orchestration could improve by providing some visibility on how the workflows are progressing."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"The architecture of this solution needs improvement, it is very complicated. It creates a lot of problems in our environment. Most of the time I am trying to find and solve the problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BizTalk Server is not freeware. There's a significant licensing cost involved. Be sure you will actually utilize its features fully."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost will depend on the client's requirements."
"BizTalk Server is cheap. I would rate its pricing a two out of five."
"Based on the knowledge, it is relatively cheaper than Azure Identity Services and cloud services in general."
"It was not cheap, but it was affordable."
"Licensing is per lot, or per agent — one agent is one license."
"Regarding pricing, it comes with the package when you buy the server automation. But it's made depending on some agreements for companies, of which I don't know the clause."
"There is a huge cost saving with BMC TrueSight compared to other solutions."
"Licensing is available in different ways and depends on data being consumed by users and nodes being operated."
