Banks achieve seamless data transformation and integration with enhanced security and scalability

From the automation perspective, IBM B2B Integrator has its own powerful workflow, but 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. There is room for improvement in IBM B2B Integrator, particularly in the automation parts, and from a UI perspective. They are making some changes to make it more intuitive. The current UI is not aesthetically pleasing, but features-wise, it is rich enough to provide all the valuable information required.

Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades

The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability. For a bank, reliability is the most critical aspect. We also appreciate the extensive support facilities available worldwide. SWIFTnet FIN's services provide us with reliable connections to entities like European Central Bank, and we plan to join CLS as a direct member through SWIFTnet FIN. The store and forward feature, along with real-time messaging services, are crucial for our operations. Their security measures and compliance with CSP program ensure the highest safety standards. Audits and assessments by companies like KPMG and Ernst & Young further validate SWIFTnet FIN's reliability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the codeless communications, SFTP or FTP, valuable."

"The solution is fast and easy to use."

"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."

"Everything from the order to fulfillment to the payment process, except for physical packing and shipping, is fully automated for some customer orders."

"B2B provides a secure communication channel."

"There are also different tabs where we can check the status of file transfers and business processes, and we can monitor adapters and services in the link."

"The solution offers good integration capabilities."

"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."

More IBM B2B Integrator pros

"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."

"The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."

Cons

"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 tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough."

"The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with."

"From the automation perspective, IBM B2B Integrator has its own powerful workflow, but 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."

"The reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit."

"API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud."

"There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application."

"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."

More IBM B2B Integrator cons

"While SWIFTnet FIN is a robust system, there is room for minor improvements in scalability and installation complexity."

"I would like for them to work in real-time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced at $20,000 to $30,000 per year with no extra costs."

"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."

"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."

"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."
