Room For Improvement

IBM B2B Integrator users desire better API integration, modern interfaces, simplified processes, cloud automation, and improved multilingual support.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite needs interface simplification, enhanced monitoring, better documentation, and improved cloud integration and cost models.
Compared to other applications such as MuleSoft or Boomi, they have many cloud connectors and multiple connectors for integrating with Salesforce or other CRM or ERP applications, whereas here you may have to develop them, which is not native.
This requires restarting the application to update the IP address, which is an issue from the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite vendor side.
Acquiring training documents on a public domain for SEEBURGER is challenging.
 

Setup Cost

IBM B2B Integrator is costly but offers flexible pricing with options for licenses and subscriptions based on usage.
SEEBURGER's flexible licensing and comprehensive features offer competitive pricing, justifying its cost despite complexity for many organizations.
It tends to be very expensive because the IBM license model is oriented toward paying for the power of the machine where you install the platform.
Regarding the pricing of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite, I would rate it as 7 out of 10.
 

Valuable Features
