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.

Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities

It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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 most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."

"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."

"The AS2 communication protocol is one of the most advanced processes."

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

"Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable."

More BizTalk Server pros

"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."

"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."

"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."

Cons

"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."

"I didn't find anything particularly valuable in BizTalk Server. It didn't help me, and we are moving away from BizTalk Server to a new platform."

"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."

"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."

"The product's deployment can be quicker"

"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."

"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."

More BizTalk Server cons

"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."

"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."

"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
