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.

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

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

"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."

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

"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."

"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."

More BizTalk Server pros

"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."

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

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

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

Cons

"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."

"The product's deployment can be quicker"

"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."

"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."

"The deployment could be simplified."

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

"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."

More BizTalk Server cons

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

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

"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."

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."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"It was not cheap, but it was affordable."

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