Yugan Pillay - PeerSpot reviewer
A nice interface and good training with helpful data transformation connectors
The data transformation and use of the pre-connectors have been really useful. We are able to clean and convert files before data is ingested into SQL. The workflow allows us to find errors and fix them as well easily. The interface is really nice and easy to learn. The workflow process helps us save time when we need to figure out which part of the workflow is failing. The time spent on fixing issues is reduced drastically. The data transformation connectors are really nice since we are able to work with data in any format. The training material is really good.
VARUNKUMAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great end-to-end integration, data mapping, and communication protocols
At this moment, everything is working fine. When we are talking to them, when we are trying to bring all this mapping in-house, right now, SEEBURGER is doing everything for us. However, when we are thinking of going onto the cloud, so they are not using any of AWS or Azure which are more stable. They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great for data flow."
"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."
"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."
"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."
"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."
"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."
"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is simple to use and straightforward."
"It has enabled digital business processes. It's the connection between our ERP system and the rest of the company. We were able to automate processing invoices digitally like an inbound invoice and FastPay payments."
"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."
"One of the most valuable features is the option to have all integration patterns constantly updated in one platform. That is the main strength I see in using SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). It means I can use a very old-fashioned pattern, combined with a very modern pattern. There are no limitations in terms of combining components because all the components simply fit together."
"The solution helps us automate processes, more on the insurance side. Where they used to have to babysit monthly files, because of size, they don't have to do that with SEEBURGER BIS. They just run the monthly process. Files get collected, translated, and sent to the proper systems, so the babysitting is gone."
"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) also allowed us to connect EDI vendors at will."
"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."
"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."
"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."
"The UI could be improved."
"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."
"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."
"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."
"I don't think the scalability of the solution is that great because they have tied the solution to their named nodes and it does not allow scalability like some of the cloud products allow."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"The integration is not so excellent. While I'm not saying there is a problem, there is no pattern. When we start a new project, we have to work with new people and processes every time. The technical side of their system is very good, but their change process is not repeatable. It needs to be rebuilt each time."
"Providing more training materials, especially when new products are released, would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."
"There are some aspects at the front, the actual queries that you use, that could be improved. They're all very minor to be honest."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
"It's rather difficult to understand, from the application, what's broken and why it doesn't work. We typically need to get support from them directly, and it's usually in a consulting role, to fix issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The only thing that would be an improvement would be if they had a cost model whereby you could just pay for what you're actually using. Even if it were a minimum monthly charge that they offered, if you're not utilizing all of that then they should consider a lower tier. That way, they could attract more business."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"I have had exposure to other big vendors over the years and would have to say the pricing is pretty typical. They all fall into a common pricing range, at least the bigger vendors: Axway, IBM Sterling, Globalscape, and SEEBURGER. They all fall into that mid-tier pricing. So, SEEBURGER is commensurate with other large integration vendors operating in this space. Maybe it is lower than some of the really high-end ones. You can get some of these high-end transactional messaging integration systems, like TIBCO, that tend to be kind of on a higher echelon of pricing. I would say SEEBURGER is more mid-level."
"They need to be more competitively priced. When it comes to training, they need to lower their prices. It shouldn't be so specific. Maybe they should outsource training to another company. From what I can see, their training is pretty expensive, and they don't do anything for free."
"There is a standard agreement for the messaging every month. But if we make a change request — a change to a mapping or something like that — then there is a fixed price per hour."
"The pricing is cheap. In fact, when I saw the pricing, I thought, "Really? What's the catch?" But the functionality that we get out of it, for the price we pay, is great value."
"The cost of the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) can be considered high. We have elected to have SEEBURGER consulting do the installation. Licensing could also be considered high. However, one would be hard pressed to find another product that does all that this one does."
"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."
