Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite and VisualCron compete in the business integration solution category. SEEBURGER has the upper hand in handling complex EDI transactions and flexibility across various platforms, whereas VisualCron is preferred for its simplicity and pricing.

Features: SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite manages a wide range of communication protocols and automates complex business processes, offering powerful mapping tools and reliable fault tolerance. VisualCron is appreciated for task scheduling features and ease of use without needing extensive programming skills. VisualCron also offers event triggers and database connectivity, making it versatile for task automation.

Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER has challenges with complex error logging, frequent service pack updates, and cloud integration standardization. VisualCron users suggest enhancing its interface, navigation, and better documentation to improve user experience and support responsiveness.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SEEBURGER primarily offers on-premises deployment with knowledgeable but varied technical support. Improvements are suggested in user support experience. VisualCron provides flexibility with public and hybrid cloud deployment. Its support system is accessible but could improve with more prompt responses and localization.

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.

It's user-friendly, and I didn't need long to understand the process

We use VisualCron for all our automation needs, like connecting to FileZilla, calling APIs, generating PGP keys, creating encryption files with the PGP key login to Azure, etc. It can automatically log in to SQL Server and execute SQL script jobs in bulk. We had 2,000-3,000 users at my previous…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SEEBURGER BIS is all one product, all homegrown, and everything is fully integrated."

"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."

"My overall rating for SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is 10 out of 10."

"SEEBURGER BIS increased our efficiency by at least 30 percent."

"It's a very robust solution and it's very configurable. Before this product we would use an ESB-type of solution which required us to write code and go through a process. We can configure the SEEBURGER solution much more easily, instead of writing code... It can handle large files very well."

"This solution has reduced it down to an average of six days, with zero backlog."

"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 is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pros

"The ability to clone jobs to shorten the time it takes to implement a process has been invaluable, but its flexibility also gives us the ability to create a job that can handle a multifaceted process with a complex workflow."

"VisualCron is a very powerful program to automate different steps in your business processes. We use it to automate replacing files and inform departments about the replacement."

"It helped us reduce manual steps."

"The tool has reduced our operational costs by 40%."

"'ve only had a few cases where I've had to request support in the past 12 years of use, but the support response time and resolution were was extremely quick."

"VisualCronv is currently handling so many different critical processes for our company, it's become a key factor in our livelihood and success."

"VisualCron is a handy tool that we (the IT department) provide for the business departments to obtain easy access when automating and scheduling."

"Using the Windows Task Scheduler means you have to do some coding while using VisualCron means the tool takes care of the coding from the backend; you're just using the visual interface of VisualCron, creating the logic, and telling the tool what actions need to be performed, so VisualCron would take care of everything on the backend for you, which helps you manage time better."

More VisualCron pros

Cons

"Java is very old technology and they should move away from it, to anything that's better."

"Error messages in the main area could be better, but you can say that about any product."

"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 cost models have room for improvement. There are different licensing models between Europe and the USA, which is something that I don't understand."

"The solution's documentation is not up to the mark and needs to be improved."

"They need to be more competitively priced. From what I can see, their training is pretty expensive, and they don't do anything for free."

"The ability to bind a mapping to an agreement seems a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a better way of navigating to a map name rather than using a drop down list."

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

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite cons

"Some preferences and permissions are not quite self-explanatory, but those are rather advanced features."

"I would like for VisualCron to expand audit log to show who changed job variables that are initialized per job run."

"There are some conditions in the mail trigger, but you can only use them as an "AND" condition, not as an "OR" condition. This is an improvement that could be useful. For example, some people put "invoice" in the subject and others put "invoice" in the body. If I want to make a trigger for everybody whose sending invoices, I have to make two jobs for this now."

"The error timeout and info could be better. When making web request calls, it will time out sometimes and we won't get any useful info out of the error response."

"Our suggestion to make it better and more manageable in terms of GDPR: Implement it in a very partnership way."

"VisualCron seems to operate like an efficient machine when it comes to improvements and enhancements and new features. I always appreciate the quick response I get when bringing up an issue or coming up with suggestions. I've mentioned before that it would be great to see a move away from SQLCE and XML configuration files."

"VisualCron's command console is a little bit difficult to understand and needs to improve."

"The documentation is a bit weak."

More VisualCron cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On an annual basis, our support costs, which are based on the licensing, are about £120,000."

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

"The way they have their licensing structure set up, they have a lot of different modules. For us, we did not really know if we were licensed for certain things or not. We had to reach out to them multiple times to tell them that we were looking for this or that capability. We had to buy licenses for different things at different points in time, not knowing that we could have it bundled initially."

"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..."

"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."

"I have had exposure to other big vendors over the years and would have to say the pricing is pretty typical. They all fall into a common pricing range, at least the bigger vendors: Axway, IBM Sterling, Globalscape, and SEEBURGER. They all fall into that mid-tier pricing. So, SEEBURGER is commensurate with other large integration vendors operating in this space. Maybe it is lower than some of the really high-end ones. You can get some of these high-end transactional messaging integration systems, like TIBCO, that tend to be kind of on a higher echelon of pricing. I would say SEEBURGER is more mid-level."

"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."

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

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pricing and cost advice

"ROI is one month."

"ROI is 95 percent."

"The pricing is extremely fair, and because of that I recommend purchasing multiple instances to split out the processing load across multiple application servers."

"The price is a bit high."

"VisualCron is correctly priced because it wasn't very cheap, and it wasn't overly expensive, so the price for it was set correctly. When my previous company bought VisualCron, it was €800 per server per year. On a scale of one to five, I would rate the pricing for VisualCron a five because it was just right. The tool was affordable, and it has one of the most competitive pricing in the market."

"We are fine with a rather cheap setup. Licensing with VisualCron is fair. You have a simple one-year licence in different sizes. There isn't a licensing jungle with hundreds of options and opt-ins."
