Pros
"The most valuable feature of IBM B2B Integrator is its security and flexibility.""It's highly stable, and the redundancy is amazing. B2B Integrator also has a high availability option to work in a cluster environment. You rarely have issues operating it because of the HA.""The solution is useful for transferring files from one format to another format. Also, the solution is useful in translation.""It is easy of use and it's easy to maintain. It's also faster to on-board partners.""The solution offers good integration capabilities.""I find the codeless communications, SFTP or FTP, valuable.""This solution allows for easy integration with heterogeneous applications.""Out-of-box process orchestration yields quick implementations."

Cons
"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy.""There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry.""The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor.""Patching or upgrading the product is a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice if they removed the installation manager port. We find it complicates upgrading and patching a great deal.""There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application.""API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud.""End-to-end visibility and monitoring application required. The control center is available and covers this area, but it still fails in many monitoring scenarios.""The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay an annual fee based on the number of VPUs. It's fairly reasonable. We're in the middle of analyzing other products, and they're all pretty much in the same range."
  • "The solution is priced at $20,000 to $30,000 per year with no extra costs."
  • "The pricing is based on how many cores are used and the type of cores."
  • "Licensing depends upon the package you opt for within the solution. The solution is a bit costly compared to the other integration tools in the market."
  • "The price of IBM B2B Integrator is too high. However, IBM may be willing to give a discount if there are negotiations. If they see that there is a good opportunity for them they can provide a discount."
  • "The product costs more than 40K."
