Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good.""The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions.""Essentially, you can do whatever you like with these systems, and you do not have to take care about the scaling because if one server is overloaded, it just forwards the message to the next server, even if it were designated to a specific server. It weeds out the messages according to the load. If you want to scale it, you just add new servers.""I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.""BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product.""We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly.""The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support."

"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution.""It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business.""Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework.""I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process.""The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution.""It is a scalable solution.""SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP.""The initial setup was straightforward."

Cons
"The deployment could be simplified.""It's an on-premises system, requiring physical servers for deployment. This is different from Azure; you don't need any servers with Azure. If you have a subscription, you can do whatever you want. There are unit restrictions based on the environment (like non-production vs. production) in BizTalk. You need physical servers and databases. In Azure, those are not required – it's all in the cloud.""The product's deployment can be quicker""BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging.""The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities.""BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features.""It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together. Whether it's sensible or not, is up to you, but the machine does allow it. But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex."

More BizTalk Server Cons →

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud.""It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations.""In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them.""We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters.""The solution needs to move to the cloud.""The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users.""Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication.""SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
