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.

Internal API gateway has improved security frameworks and now provides unified API visibility
The best features Tyk offers are highly customizable options, effective traffic management, and security, making it easy to configure and use. The customizability of Tyk is evident in our validation of the token—specifically with our internal identity and access management. There were challenges on the network side and in managing token validity and the public key, but Tyk allowed us to configure these aspects effectively. I believe those are the standard out-of-the-box capabilities provided by Tyk that we are using, particularly regarding traffic management and security. Tyk has positively impacted my organization by providing standard API management capabilities, such as a single view for all APIs, discoverability, and role-based access control for overseeing who can see which APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) provides us with the solutions we need."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) also allowed us to connect EDI vendors at will."
"The stability is world-class. It is as good as any of the other options out there. They have addressed hiccups quickly, professionally, and with an excellent response."
"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."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"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."
"SEEBURGER BIS is all one product, all homegrown, and everything is fully integrated."
"When orders come in they go into our ERP system directly, so there is integration there."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"It is a good product for API management."
"Our customers are happy with the features and performance, and I have not heard any complaints with respect to technical support."
"Tyk looked like a good product."
"Tyk is a wonderful API management gateway for maintaining enterprise-grade applications."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"In my opinion, the best features that Tyk offers were the rate limiting and authentication themselves."
"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."
 

Cons

"The speed of development needs improvement."
"In some of the other tools out there in the market, you can create one service and use that service without creating a copy. That kind of capability currently doesn't exist in this solution."
"The cloud interface is currently too cluttered, especially when creating new transactions from scratch or performing search queries."
"API connectivity needs improvement as well as the GUI. The GUI hasn't changed that much in 10 years, but of course, that's already been updated. I would say I'm excited about the screenshots but that's about it."
"Java is very old technology and they should move away from it, to anything that's better."
"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."
"Frontline support, or first-level support though, gets a rating of 4/10. Most of the time, they seem to be very bad at understanding the critical nature of an issue and they rarely manage to fulfill their own SLAs."
"On the server side, there are a lot of administration and configuration files that you need to go in and do maintenance on. You have to find them in a certain folder so it's very error-prone and it can be a little time consuming unless it's documented. They could pull some of those individual configuration files into the product itself where there's a better user interface for that."
"Compared to Apigee or Kong, I find they excel beyond Tyk, which is the reason for my score."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"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."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"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."
"There are some architectural bottlenecks, including operational complexity and multi-component overhead."
"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."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."
"We pay per message we use. We spend about £19,000 a year with them."
"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"I find the pricing expensive. But I know that when we evaluated another company, it was about the same. That just seems to be the market. It's probably not expensive overall."
"Pricing, compared to the tool that we had earlier, is cheaper."
"They need to be more competitively priced. When it comes to training, they need to lower their prices. It shouldn't be so specific. Maybe they should outsource training to another company. From what I can see, their training is pretty expensive, and they don't do anything for free."
"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."
"All the new adapters are individually priced, which is good. You don't buy the whole system and then if you don't use it, you don't use it. You only buy the stuff you want..."
"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."
"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."
"We are using the open-source version of this product, so there are no licensing costs for its use."
"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."
