Great reporting and graphics but integration needs to be improved
One area for improvement would be integration. We've had problems with bottlenecks when creating the data warehouse because we didn't have all the information available. Integration also isn't as easy with Oracle BI as with other tools like Power BI or Tableau. In the next release, I'd like Oracle to include the ability to integrate with information that comes from large sources.

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

"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."
"There is a multitude of already developed objects that allow you to create and/or improve existing reports in a reasonably easy way."
"The pre-built data models are great, as is rapid implementation so that you can use all of the pre-developed Oracle features rather than doing the heavy lifting."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."
"Calculations are a little bit faster, and it can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms, so you don't need any other specific tool and can use Microsoft Office to start doing things with these reports."
"It's web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data. It provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and we manipulate the data afterward if we need to."
"Oracle BI has improved our organization by having a more robust solution than Oracle Discoverer."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is simple to use and straightforward."
"It's nice to have that in one system, versus using multiple systems, and it has also increased the level of efficiency in our company's operations by about 30 to 40 percent because everything is on one tool, supporting many people at the same time, worldwide."
"What would have been a manual process of transmitting data items around between us and third-parties has been automated. SEEBURGER BIS handles the automation and mapping side of the communications. The automation, along with the efficiency around time and cost, has improved our organization. Around 20,000 messages a month have been automated. These typically would be financial/order transactions and confirmations in invoicing that have been automated."
"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."
"One of the things that SEEBURGER always touts is their ability to do "any to any" formatting... it doesn't matter if you want to take a CSV file or an XML file or a flat file or a PDF file or a structure EDI file; you can transform it from one format to another - any to any or even to the same format - which is a really nice feature."
"Of all the projects where people have come to me, I can't remember having to say, "No, we can't do that.""
"The SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) was one of a few which provided translation for various formats, communications, and integration into SAP, all under one hood."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) provides us with the solutions we need."
 

Cons

"As far as costs are concerned, as their current version of SQL Server is now on a Linux platform, it's now become something that we are starting to look at it."
"Technical Support is not great. I do not have much to complain about, as I only had a few questions with no response."
"It was really unstable when it was first released on 11.1.1.7.1 back in May of 2013, but it has slowly become more stable over time."
"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes."
"The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."
"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years."
"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."
"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."
"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."
"Their technical support is okay. It doesn't blow you away."
"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."
"The cost of the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) can be considered high."
"The speed of development needs improvement."
"The solution's documentation is not up to the mark and needs to be improved."
"In the BIS, if I want to have some API functionalities, that is a separate tool. The integration between the API tool and the BIS is not that straightforward. If they were to combine these tools and give us one suite, that would be helpful. Today I have a lot of partners onboard. I have something like 50,000 partners doing API transactions. If I want to introduce a new tool for API management, I have to do a lot of workarounds. But if it were integrated well within the existing suite, it could be straightforward for me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As with any case study that we’ve ever done, it’s not so much a problem with the application or security or anything of that nature. It’s basically the cost infrastructure. Compared to other solutions, it’s one of the more costly solutions out there. It’s the biggest concern nowadays that upper management has."
"It is expensive. It is more than 100K for support. You pay for support on top of the standard licensing, which is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"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..."
"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."
"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."
