SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) and Kong Gateway Enterprise compete in the integration and API management software market. SEEBURGER BIS shines in integration flexibility, while Kong Gateway Enterprise leads in API monetization and performance.
Features: SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite's strengths include protocol handling, platform flexibility, and mapping tools. It also supports business process customization and complex transactions. Kong Gateway Enterprise excels in API management with role-based access control, protocol transformation, and Lua scripting. It stands out in API monetization and high performance.
Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER BIS could improve its monitoring and error reporting, which users find cumbersome. It sometimes requires additional protocol configuration and service pack updates. Kong Gateway Enterprise needs a better pricing structure, simpler scaling, and improved developer portals. It lacks live API tracing and some policy features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SEEBURGER BIS is primarily on-premises with some cloud needs. Support can be inconsistent, with skill gaps in front-line support. Kong Gateway Enterprise offers diverse deployment options, including cloud. Its support system relies on a central ticket system, lacking localized assistance.
Pricing and ROI: SEEBURGER BIS is priced moderately high, with flexible licensing. ROI comes from automation and labor savings. Negotiation is recommended for better deals. Kong Gateway Enterprise offers competitive pricing with open-source options, but all-or-nothing licensing may not suit every business size.
The technical support from Kong Gateway Enterprise would be rated about eight, as we missed local technical support.
The support provided by SEEBURGER is excellent.
I would rate my experience with the technical support of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite as 10 out of 10.
The scalability of this solution would be rated about eight or nine.
The scalability depends primarily on the mapping itself, as the connection and file flow are in the cloud.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a very stable product, and I haven't noticed any significant drawbacks.
I would rate the stability of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite as 9 out of 10.
More plugins for additional integrations would be helpful and openness for traditional development languages, such as .NET, because many enterprises are looking for .NET solutions or incorporating with .NET solutions.
This requires restarting the application to update the IP address, which is an issue from the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite vendor side.
Acquiring training documents on a public domain for SEEBURGER is challenging.
Regarding the pricing of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite, I would rate it as 7 out of 10.
The most valuable features of Kong Gateway Enterprise are its seamless integration with Kubernetes and cloud, many plugins that can be incorporated in a solution, and its incorporation with low-code function systems.
It comes pre-loaded with solutions, meaning it is ready to use without requiring significant development.
When comparing to other applications, SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is the easiest way to understand the application.
