Featured Reviews

Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Serves as reliable middleware enabling efficient document handling and seamless connectivity between different systems
The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features. Accessing the interface and monitoring aspects is problematic, and I hope it improves in the new version. Integration with third parties is delicate and can be expensive without involvement from Infor.

Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades
The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN ( /products/swiftnet-fin-reviews ) 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 ( /products/threat-stack-cloud-security-platform-eol-reviews ) 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

"Its stability is commendable, as I rarely encounter bugs or problems."
"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."
"ION acts as a middleware that allows me to handle all the volumes of incoming and outgoing documents with partners."
"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."
"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the ability to monitor integration performance and the reasons for the failure of inbound and outbound transactions. We can see both inbound and outbound transactions, and it gives us a mirror image or the whole history of all inbound and outbound transactions between Infor M3 Business Engine and the third parties."
"The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."
"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."
 

Cons

"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."
"ION's integration with older applications could be better."
"Infor ION doesn't provide connectors for all integration touchpoints. Sometimes, we may have to build our own. It incurs additional costs for the customer."
"The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features. Accessing the interface and monitoring aspects is problematic, and I hope it improves in the new version."
"The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features."
"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."
"I would like for them to work in real-time."
"While SWIFTnet FIN is a robust system, there is room for minor improvements in scalability and installation complexity."
