We performed a comparison between BizTalk Server, IBM BPM, and IBM WebSphere BPMS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."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."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."
"It makes the company business processes work more efficiently."
"Setting it up is fairly easy. If somebody has knowledge of the system, he or she will be able to do it fairly quickly."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of IBM BPM."
"This is one of the best tools to support the business and the way we work, and the numerous processes we need to implement."
"Its most valuable features are usability and integration with other IBM products."
"We are receiving good assistance from the technical support."
"Our customers use the solution as a workflow platform to manage their processes."
"IBM BPM is equipped with all the functionalities which are needed for building BPM enterprise-level applications."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."
"The product's deployment can be quicker"
"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 is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"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."
"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."
"The configuration is not that easy, and the initial deployment took three months."
"We had hoped that the product would provide us with plug-ins like Salesforce. Its development environment needs to improve. We expect to see elastic features like containerization. We don't just need an on-prem virtual machine."
"The initial setup process is complex for basic users."
"The user experience, while it has improved, should continue to improve."
"We still have a couple of issues that we are working on right now with stability. Mostly on the configuration side of the tool, and it has been about a month that we have been working to stabilize the platform."
"We have been experiencing bad performance and instability."
"I would like IBM to consider including AI-enabled process mining, robotic process automation, and very good OCR capabilities from the computer vision side."
"Except for the Lucene the index - we had a couple of issues in the Process Portal where the Lucene index went out of sync, and we had to work at least 15 - 20 hours to have it back in sync with the database."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
