Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite and Kiteworks both compete in the field of integration and file transfer solutions. SEEBURGER seems to have the upper hand in terms of integration capabilities, while Kiteworks excels in secure file transfer protocols.

Features: SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers outstanding management of diverse communication protocols, a user-friendly interface for newcomers, and allows for custom business process designs using its BPM designer. Meanwhile, Kiteworks provides secure file sharing and access control features, efficient large file transactions up to 100 GB, and supports two-factor authentication for enhanced security.

Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER users note the need for a simplified interface, better error monitoring, and improvements in OEM protocol adapters. Kiteworks users suggest improving admin console stability, streamlining the offboarding process, and seeking faster support and resolution times for system lags.

Kiteworks offers flexible deployment options including cloud solutions and is appreciated for its centralized support structure despite occasional time zone-related communication barriers.

Users find ROI in operational efficiencies and reduced manpower. Kiteworks' pricing varies by region and configuration but is considered justified by its security advantages. Both products show ROI through efficiency gains and automation of manual tasks.

Streamlined global file sharing with user-friendly interface and self-service capabilities

I'm not a network expert, however, there must be some room for improvement. Perhaps there could be a notification to users about their bandwidth or network packet loss. If users receive such notifications, they can understand any disruptions are due to issues with their network or bandwidth rather than the site or Kiteworks. Additionally, I work from offshore India, and I told my client manager to communicate with the Kiteworks forum salesman regarding one feature. I noticed the Kiteworks login UI is very basic, lacking customization. Allowing more HTML tags to add hyperlinks or user-friendly information on the home page would be very useful.

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

"The most useful feature of this solution is to share files with external parties and we can use this functionality to share files internally too."

"Scalability is impressive."

"We can see when people are sending things. We can definitely see who is sending to whom. From the administrative logs, we can see who is sending to an outside entity, and those logs are retained for quite a while."

"The benefits that Kiteworks has provided to its customers in terms of data sovereignty."

"As a file-sharing application, it's an absolute 10 out of 10."

"The solution removes the limitations with file attachment size that is found with regular email."

"The top two features are the two-factor authentication, which is pretty good. It's easily understood by the users. And their API is rather robust. We have numerous integrations that work off the API."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to allow end-users to manage their own information and data with minimal administration. That's the best feature from my perspective."

More Kiteworks pros

"What improved was the ability to bring on who we wanted when we wanted to at the pace we wanted to."

"It has helped our organization to integrate with different systems, by having different integration methods seamlessly."

"SEEBURGER was very helpful to me in bringing up my knowledge on this topic, I am grateful to them and they're always available, and they are a good business partner for our company so, generally, I'm happy."

"It's a tremendously powerful solution and it gives us a lot of leverage to get things done quickly."

"I like that the tool has all the adapters — all the possible protocols that are in the industry. You pay for those adapters but at least it's all in one package. You don't have to get another tool or application to support another partner."

"Because of the ease of use of the tool and the capabilities that the tool provides, we reduced the human resources that we used to need to support the previous tools."

"For the tool that we used to have, we had specially trained developers who used to do all the development of EDI maps and the configuration. But with SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) now, we were able to train our EDI analysts, and because the tool has very simple, intuitive mapping capabilities, even our EDI analysts are able to develop all the EDI maps, do all the configurations, and do all the setups for any of the trading partners."

"The solution is flexible when it comes to adding integrations, it is much easier to use than the other tools we have to move the files, and across the board, we can move files in a short amount of time compared to our other existing tools."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pros

Cons

"There is no offboarding process for end-users in Kiteworks. It's a manual process. There is no automated syncing with LDAP and checking to see if the account is still active. It's a manual process to get people out of here, which isn't the best way."

"We mainly had stability issues with kiteworks, where we were pushing the limits of its capability."

"I would like to see immediate releases of fixes because now it takes at least a week. If that time span can be reduced to one day or two days, that would be very helpful for users so that things are sorted and transactions work smoothly."

"Kiteworks could benefit from enhancing the proposal knowledge base section, specifically regarding the type of work involved. Currently, the knowledge base seems insufficiently dedicated to this topic, making it challenging for new users to access the relevant administrative law. Improving the visual aids and providing clearer explanations could alleviate this issue."

"The one feature, which I have also requested directly to Kiteworks, is to have a scheduled upgrade function. Currently, one of my engineers logs in after hours for the upgrade. We're a hospital, and we're 24/7, but the primary users are seven to five. So, we log in the early evening just to push a button to tell it to do the update. It would be nice if that could be very easily scheduled."

"We have experienced a few hiccups and bugs when using the admin console and from a user perspective."

"It would be nice if Kiteworks could provide a free version of the platform so that it could be used for a certain number of file transfers. We could be charged a fee if we exceeded the number of allotted file transfers."

"I noticed the Kiteworks login UI is very basic, lacking customization. Allowing more HTML tags to add hyperlinks or user-friendly information on the home page would be very useful."

More Kiteworks cons

"So the product in and of itself, on-prem, does not give you that, but the same product, in their data centers around the world, allows me to do the same functions but where I need it."

"Their traditional model is a vendor flow. We are looking to do a customer-based flow, which which require significant development from SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). We are working with them to do this using their WebEDI. It is a brand new area for them, but it could be an option in the future."

"They made improvements to the email error alerts that go out, for the EDI technical. Those typically go straight out to the partners. Those messages are significantly clearer and easy to read. The same messages in the front end are not nearly as clear. It's supposed to be the same error, but the message that goes out for EDI is really easy for anybody to read and understand, but you have to be really solution-savvy to understand the message in the system itself."

"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."

"I find the solution quite confusing to use, especially when looking at the tree structure."

"The initial set up was done by SEEBURGER consulting. It can be complex due to various factors, such as server settings, database settings, and security settings."

"There are a lot of service packs during the year. I know that part is the process for updating features, but sometimes it's difficult to update service packs every month."

"We've lost a little bit of that personalization — someone who might know our business more."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive because we are buying with Malaysian Ringgit and it's sold in US dollars."

"The license management is changing and confusing. If I could make one change to it, it would be better license management through the API."

"I believe it's a little costly, but given the faith that we put into it from a security perspective to maintain the integrity of our patient information that is being transferred through this system, that's a small price to pay. So, on the surface, it might look like a lot of money, but depending on the need for security, which is where we feel it shines, it's okay price-wise."

"The price of Kiteworks is reasonable."

"They changed it midstream. We were being charged a certain flat rate for SFTP traffic. For whatever reason, at the beginning of the year, our pricing changed, and we are now being charged more for using a feature of the product than we were when we first bought it. That has been our experience with billing. It turned out to be more expensive than when we started with it."

"It is not really expensive. I mean, to me it's obviously expensive, but it's worth it."

"Pricing, compared to the tool that we had earlier, is cheaper."

"We pay per message we use. We spend about £19,000 a year with them."

"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."

"We have additional ad hoc development costs, but those vary depending on if we're bringing on another third-party into our systems via the EDI integration. So, that's highly variable."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."

"Sometimes it seems a little pricey, especially when some of the stuff is available through freeware, like SFTP communications... It costs a lot more money to buy this stuff from SEEBURGER but I think it's worth it in the long run."

"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
