Effective business process handling with some room for improvement in mapping ease and user interactions
IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services does not have specific issues that need improvement. While each product, like SeeBurger and IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services, has its own advantages and disadvantages, I do not see any challenges or improvements needed. Although, mapping might be a bit easier in SeeBurger compared to IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services.

Exceptional support and reliability drive optimal data flow and integration
The features of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite that I found most valuable are related to entity flow. We can find the entity flow to be very useful so we can grab the flow accordingly. There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues. When comparing to other applications, SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is the easiest way to understand the application. I have also worked on the cloud services where SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is moving to cloud. I have worked on cloud services where the mapping part is in the cloud itself, along with the connection setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have best-in-class, quality support."
"Overall, for how we use it and the way our organization is arranged, this solution works very well for us."
"The B2B Sterling platform is basically managed services, so we outsource our services to IBM and it relieves us of having resources in-house and 24/7 support."
"IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services is a stable and scalable product."
"They have multiple features for each kind of task and issue. The company has different channels to give information to the administration. Security and integration capabilities are also important. This product has helped to replace a lot of other solutions, saving time and cost."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"Being a manufacturing company, we are dealing with different customers and catering to different orders, and EDI is very helpful for us because the ordering can be done via EDI and the orders can be processed outright, which is a big advantage."
"For us, we've basically outsourced the onboarding and translation of all of our electronic data interchange (EDI) with our customers."
"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."
"Having the SEEBURGER consulting team perform the installation alleviates a lot of headaches and ensures a stable system."
"We can use it to script and monitor processes."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"The solution's capabilities in fulfilling our existing B2B integration requirements are brilliant, and among our multiple customers we connect to SAP systems, JDE, all the various ERPs that you can possibly get, Oracle procurement systems, etc., and we haven't come across anything yet — and customers are trying to trip us up — that we can't do."
"When orders come in they go into our ERP system directly, so there is integration there."
"Fault tolerance, we rarely get hanged processes, therefore, it is reliable."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is simple to use and straightforward."
 

Cons

"The main reason for this rating is that SeeBurger is much easier to handle compared to IBM Sterling B2B Integration Services."
"They can improve APIs because they are still lagging behind in API connectivity. With non-API connectivity, they're market leaders, but API connectivity, they're still in the immature space."
"The only weaknesses they have different governance for each task and different channels for communication which are hard to maintain. The relation of the company with other companies can be improved. We have a lot of customers who this platform for the interchange of information which can also be improved. The compliance information about banks can also be updated."
"It can be now classified as a legacy system because there are no more updates. From what I know, there will be no updates for the current version, which is an issue."
"Onboarding on the solution is complex. It's hard to onboard partners and customer suppliers. It's one aspect that is not that straightforward."
"The setup is not straightforward, but it is fairly well documented."
"It's probably not as much as they sold us in their value proposition, so be cautious about that."
"Onboarding on the solution is complex."
"We had issues with stability. The system is not always stable and you could have a problem at any time without notice."
"We wanted to use API. We were told that in 6.52 we could use API management. Later on, we found that API management wasn't that completely integrated into the 6.52 solution, and if you wanted to have the whole API suite you might have to go to 6.7, the latest one."
"Java is very old technology and they should move away from it, to anything that's better."
"We've lost a little bit of that personalization — someone who might know our business more."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"That is the component that we definitely have the biggest issue with."
"The speed of development needs improvement. If you acquire any customization, it can be a slightly slow process. I would like to see more flexibility around customizations. The time frame right now depends on the sophistication and customization, but we have to go through a process of getting them to develop, implement, and test it. This might take a couple of weeks. If it was a simpler system to customize, the time could probably be cut by half or down by even 25 percent of what it would normally take."
"The documentation can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive because of its rich features."
"They have a good pricing system, in relation to powerful features."
"Pricing is a little bit on the higher side because they give you the best support. Out of ten, I would rate pricing at seven or eight."
"I did a review of other options out there, as we moved into the future and our SAP implementation, that this would be the right solution. It was very comparable to other manage services out there. Thus, there wasn't any clear-cut reason to go in another direction."
"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."
"All the new adapters are individually priced, which is good. You don't buy the whole system and then if you don't use it, you don't use it. You only buy the stuff you want..."
"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."
"We pay per message we use. We spend about £19,000 a year with them."
"It has a very goofy pricing model in the sense that they have so many components and it's not very clear what components you require to do your work. When you ask for that, you learn that there's a surcharge for them. It's not that you buy a product and you can use all the compatibilities. They have all these different bits and pieces of it and you have to pay extra for all those things."
"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"We pay for a maximum number of setups, then we pay per customer map, and we pay maintenance on each one of those. BIS provides the flexibility to pay as you grow. The price of each customer map is €200 and the hourly rate for maintenance is fairly reasonable."
