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.""BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product.""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 tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good.""I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."

"The product's most valuable feature is the real-time integration suite.""They have multiple features for each kind of task and issue.

This product has helped to replace a lot of other solutions, saving time and cost.""They have best-in-class, quality support.""We are able to monitor all B2B messages, and we are able to see or track each message on it from an error perspective. That's a good side of it. It is working well, and we're able to do our current job.""The solution is extremely scalable."

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not going to evolve it any further or add any new features.""The deployment could be simplified.""BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging.""It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together.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."

"Onboarding on the solution is complex. It's hard to onboard partners and customer suppliers. It's one aspect that is not that straightforward.""They can improve APIs because they are still lagging behind in API connectivity. With non-API connectivity, they're market leaders, but API connectivity, they're still in the immature space.""It can be now classified as a legacy system because there are no more updates. From what I know, there will be no updates for the current version, which is an issue. Therefore, we are looking for a compatible new software that we can use. We're currently researching what is there in the market. We would consider something that would give us better speed on our current processor. There is also room for improvement in terms of its scalability and GUI. It is an old system, and its scalability can be improved. Its GUI can also be more appealing.""The only weaknesses they have different governance for each task and different channels for communication which are hard to maintain. The relation of the company with other companies can be improved. We have a lot of customers who this platform for the interchange of information which can also be improved. The compliance information about banks can also be updated."
