Offers valuable integration services but requires better cloud adaptation

Biztalk server doesn't have API management so that our exposed can be protected against the SQL injection, DOS attacks. However, this is available in IBM WebMethods. The positive impact of BizTalk Server was initially limited because of scalability issues. That is the reason why management has decided to implement IBM WebMethods. We are going to decommission BizTalk Server next year. I believe the API response could be improved in BizTalk Server. We need to increase the number of servers in BizTalk Server. We used to have two servers; later on, we increased to a third server, which has improved performance. We can make it more highly available and scale out to improve BizTalk Server. Scale out means we can increase the number of servers horizontally.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."

"BizTalk Server offers workflow functionality that I find very effective for process automation."

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

"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."

"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 BizTalk Server business rule engine was very useful for us and has helped us for the last 12 years."

"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."

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

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

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

"We want to get rid of BizTalk Server, as there is unnecessary license cost, and there are some limitations, so we might go for Azure Integration Services."

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

"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 deployment could be simplified."

"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 product's deployment can be quicker"

"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."

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)."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."
