BizTalk Server vs Cleo Integration Cloud Platform comparison

"The platform is more like a Lego landscape of different building blocks and the most valuable part is that they can be built and constructed independently."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"BizTalk is easy to implement, deploy, install, and configure."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use it provides. Cleo Integration Cloud Platform is a straightforward and simple product."

"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."

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

"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."

"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."

"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."

"These items are not so critical when compared with some performance issues which can take place within projects of really significant functional volume."

"We encounter issues with deployment when SQL Server and BizTalk Server are on separate machines, especially with the MSDTC."

"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."

"Currently, the solution fails to provide users with additional protocol assistance and API integrations, so the aforementioned areas need to be considered for improvement."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

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

"I learned that the product's price is reasonable based on the interactions I had with my company's purchase team."
