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.
Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow
Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow. Time tracking is available and much used in our firm. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is also a great feature, along with the ability to access from mobile. Being able to use Comindware Tracker for common processes or standalone tasks for crucial in our decision to test the software. The software is flexible and computer-novice friendly, making training required minimal and efficient to implement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
"BizTalk Server offers workflow functionality that I find very effective for process automation."
"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."
"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."
"This software makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with the team. Any user can learn and start using the application quickly."
"It successfully routes hand-offs between different teams, adds transparency to workflows, and has a set of social collaboration tools."
"The configurable dashboard analytics and reporting capabilities ensure timely decision making."
"It is perhaps the most user-friendly web forms automation software. At least, I did not find anything better while testing several others similar to it."
"Customize workflow processes visually and interactively."
"This solution can be useful for tracking the different stages of projects and the people working on them."
"The clean interface, prioritization, and private task lists aren't present in other solutions."
"Low code development."
 

Cons

"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."
"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."
"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."
"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."
"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"I am expecting new updates to improve the software."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."
"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"There are not very many report templates, and if there were more, it would really help."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Price per user works for me when they do not count my clients, which fill forms."
"I benefit from this software by getting a variety of reporting options and features for a relatively low cost"
"The pricing and licensing is as per market standards, except that the process of extending licenses is also easy."
"This solution has a very lost cost."
"Setup cost is reasonable and average on the market. They offer simple licensing and price per user."
"Great value for the money."
"The price is so reasonable."
