Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 27, 2025

BizTalk Server and Oracle BI Applications compete in the realm of enterprise solutions. While BizTalk Server has advantages in pricing and support, Oracle BI Applications is regarded as more robust due to its advanced features, justifying its higher cost.

Features: BizTalk Server provides seamless integration capabilities, effective messaging and routing, and reliable use with Visual Studio. Oracle BI Applications include robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting, a multitude of pre-built reports, and excellent graphical presentation tools.

Room for Improvement: BizTalk Server could improve on its user interface, expand its cloud compatibility, and enhance its monitoring tools. Oracle BI Applications can benefit from speeding up its initial setup process, reducing the complexity of its customization, and optimizing for faster on-the-fly calculations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BizTalk Server is straightforward to deploy with solid support, making it ideal for users who prioritize easy setup. Oracle BI Applications, though offering comprehensive customer service, have a more complex deployment process, catering to companies needing extensive customization.

Pricing and ROI: BizTalk Server has a competitive setup cost with quicker ROI, suitable for budget-conscious businesses. Oracle BI Applications, while more expensive, promise a significant long-term ROI with their expansive analytics capabilities, appealing to enterprises seeking higher-end functionality.

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.

Fast calculations, stable, and good support, but needs more visuals, support for HTML5, and BI Publisher updates

It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"The BizTalk Server business rule engine was very useful for us and has helped us for the last 12 years."

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

"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."

"Boomi has advantages over BizTalk Server because it is more flexible, low-code, no-code, easy to implement, and has a fast go-to-market."

"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 web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data. It provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and we manipulate the data afterward if we need to."

"Calculations are a little bit faster. It can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms. You don't need any other specific tool. You can use Microsoft Office to start doing things with these reports."

"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."

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."

"Updating things in BizTalk is a headache."

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

"We want to get rid of BizTalk Server, as there is unnecessary license cost, and there are some limitations, so we might go for Azure Integration Services."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More BizTalk Server cons

"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years."

"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."

"The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"BizTalk Server is not freeware. There's a significant licensing cost involved. Be sure you will actually utilize its features fully."

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

"BizTalk Server is cheap. I would rate its pricing a two out of five."

"The solution is expensive."

"Based on the knowledge, it is relatively cheaper than Azure Identity Services and cloud services in general."

"As with any case study that we’ve ever done, it’s not so much a problem with the application or security or anything of that nature. It’s basically the cost infrastructure. Compared to other solutions, it’s one of the more costly solutions out there. It’s the biggest concern nowadays that upper management has."

"It is expensive. It is more than 100K for support. You pay for support on top of the standard licensing, which is on a yearly basis."
