Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good.""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.""We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly.""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."

"User-friendly and easy to deploy.""The most valuable feature is that it's simple and very ergonomic to use the product compared to other virtualizing product. Out of Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM, we found VMware to be the best one.""It has the best workflow feature.""vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library.""The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions.""In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts."

Cons
"The product's deployment can be quicker""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 But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex.""BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging.""BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features.""The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."

More BizTalk Server Cons →

"This is an expensive solution.""The solution's price could be cheaper.""Mainly VMware integrates with other products, but there is no easy way to link with other products from a different vendor. We can integrate with other products from the same vendors fairly well, but if they could make it so integration is easier with other vendors, that would really help.""The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved.""The cost of the solution is high.""I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer.""This solution needs to have more built-in workflows.""There are some update-related issues with the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

  • More BizTalk Server Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
