Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite and Tyk are competitors in enterprise integration and API management. Tyk holds a strategic edge due to agile API integrations and flexible deployment.

Features: SEEBURGER provides comprehensive data transformations, secure transactions, and an effective EDI integration suite. Tyk offers a lightweight API gateway, a developer portal, and built-in analytics, along with an open-source ecosystem and quick deployment capabilities.

Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER could enhance ease-of-use and reduce its learning curve. More flexibility in its deployment options would be advantageous. Tyk could improve its cloud version reliability and minimize idiosyncrasies to streamline API management further. Improving scalability features would also benefit Tyk's future growth.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SEEBURGER offers a traditional deployment model and strong support services, suitable for large-scale enterprises but can present a complex learning curve. Tyk emphasizes cloud-native deployment, allowing faster integration and scalability, supported by an active community and enterprise-level technical support that contrasts with SEEBURGER's structured approach.

Pricing and ROI: SEEBURGER's initial costs can be higher due to its comprehensive solutions focusing on enterprise-level integrations, presenting a favorable ROI in structured environments. Tyk provides cost-effective options, appealing to businesses seeking budget-friendly API solutions and offers quick ROI with its open-source model.

Mgr Value Chain Integration/EDI at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees

Great end-to-end integration, data mapping, and communication protocols

At this moment, everything is working fine. When we are talking to them, when we are trying to bring all this mapping in-house, right now, SEEBURGER is doing everything for us. However, when we are thinking of going onto the cloud, so they are not using any of AWS or Azure which are more stable. They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see.

Fastest to get up and running and fewer idiosyncrasies than competitors

In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them. But as a product, it's very difficult to find any major faults.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We haven't had any issues with scaling."

"The solution's capabilities in fulfilling our existing B2B integration requirements are brilliant. Among our multiple customers we connect to SAP systems, JDE, all the various ERPs that you can possibly get, Oracle procurement systems, etc. We haven't come across anything yet — and customers are trying to trip us up — that we can't do."

"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is simple to use and straightforward."

"One of the most valuable features is the option to have all integration patterns constantly updated in one platform. That is the main strength I see in using SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). It means I can use a very old-fashioned pattern, combined with a very modern pattern. There are no limitations in terms of combining components because all the components simply fit together."

"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."

"Mapping Designer provides excellent flexibility."

"SEEBURGER has helped us to enable digital business transformation. Every time we add a new customer, there is a digital footprint. This is no longer a manual process."

"If SEEBURGER plans to do something, they will meet their target. We haven't been disappointed by them at all. For example, we had six trading partners to onboard and they said, "We'll make it happen," and they did make it happen. They did exactly what they said they would do. That's a really positive thing."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pros

"The scalability is very good. That was a key factor in the selection, like how it could be pushed to high volume and scalability, which seemed to be very good."

"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."

"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."

"It is a good product for API management."

"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."

"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."

Cons

"They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see."

"Providing more training materials, especially when new products are released, would be beneficial."

"There are some aspects at the front, the actual queries that you use, that could be improved. They're all very minor to be honest."

"When we got SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS), it was clear that it was going to take more of a technical person. It does take a technically-rooted individual to operate it. It's not something for your everyday guy to do. For what it's doing for us, a dedicated resource is required."

"All the topics we've identified have been placed on the SEEBURGER roadmap already... Among the things we have requested are improvements in the user interface and improvements that would be implemented by completely new modules or improvements in their Cloud Services."

"We occasionally get ZIP files. Sometimes the ZIP file has one file inside of it, and sometimes the ZIP file might have 30 files inside of it. We have been working with SEEBURGER to enhance their PKUNZIP process to be able to unzip multiple files in a single workflow instead of just one file. This is still something that is in process."

"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite does not have an end user or subscriber console which can show the traffic status."

"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening. So we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER. We only get a message that something has failed... we have to open a ticket with SEEBURGER for them to tell us exactly what the issue is... I would like us to be able to be more self-sufficient."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite cons

"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."

"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."

"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."

"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."

"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."

"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Price and licensing are comparable to other systems. It's well-priced and simple. It's not user-based or anything. It's just per seat, per system. So, it's pretty straight forward. Because it's per system, one system is enough. However, if you want to make it larger, then you can grow with it."

"There is a standard agreement for the messaging every month. But if we make a change request — a change to a mapping or something like that — then there is a fixed price per hour."

"We pay maintenance of between $75,000 and $100,000 per year, per box."

"The only thing that would be an improvement would be if they had a cost model whereby you could just pay for what you're actually using. Even if it were a minimum monthly charge that they offered, if you're not utilizing all of that then they should consider a lower tier. That way, they could attract more business."

"The cost-based model is slightly different now in SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). They changed the licensing, based on adapters and other things. In the old style of licensing, the whole suite was one license..."

"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."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pricing and cost advice

"We are using the open-source version of this product, so there are no licensing costs for its use."

"The cost curve is far smoother, both in terms of volume and the number of calls it's running on, compared to most competitors. So it's a tad more expensive at the very low end, but the curve is nothing like Apigee or some of the others."

"The price is low compared to other products of a similar type."

"There are different versions and plans available depending on the requirements, so there is flexibility in terms of the pricing."

"It had a free version, which suited many of our needs, but not all, but we were happy to go ahead with the licensed version as well, which is the paid version."
