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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."

"Boomi has advantages over BizTalk Server because it is more flexible, low-code, no-code, easy to implement, and has a fast go-to-market."

"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."

"Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable."

"The AS2 communication protocol is one of the most advanced processes."

More BizTalk Server pros

"This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."

"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."

Cons

"The product's deployment can be quicker"

"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."

"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."

"It's an on-premises system, requiring physical servers for deployment. This is different from Azure; you don't need any servers with Azure. If you have a subscription, you can do whatever you want. There are unit restrictions based on the environment (like non-production vs. production) in BizTalk. You need physical servers and databases. In Azure, those are not required – it's all in the cloud."

"The deployment could be simplified."

"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."

"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."

"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."

More BizTalk Server cons

"OCR capability should be added as a feature."

"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."

"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."

"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BizTalk Server is cheap. I would rate its pricing a two out of five."

"The cost will depend on the client's requirements."

"The solution is expensive."

"BizTalk Server is not freeware. There's a significant licensing cost involved. Be sure you will actually utilize its features fully."

"It was not cheap, but it was affordable."

"Based on the knowledge, it is relatively cheaper than Azure Identity Services and cloud services in general."

"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."

"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
