Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive.""Out-of-box process orchestration yields quick implementations.""This solution allows for easy integration with heterogeneous applications.""It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster.""It is easy of use and it's easy to maintain. It's also faster to on-board partners.""B2B Integrator is multi-platform, so it can be integrated with Windows, Unix, or whatever, and it can work with almost all programming languages. It can also transfer a lot of data in a short time. For instance, a system I recently implemented exchanges about 20 million files a day.""The most valuable features assist with understanding data formats and transforming data.""Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."

Cons
"The tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough.""API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy.""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.""There should be a single place to do things, rather than making it complicated, not moving away and truncating the old features but instead coming up with the new and still keeping the old stuff confuses people sometimes.""They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap.""The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions.""The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor.""IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly."

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."
