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.""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 of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions.""The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."

But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex.""BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging.""The product's deployment can be quicker""The deployment could be simplified."
