"IBM B2B Integrator is a great tool, robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and ideal solution."
"It is easy of use and it's easy to maintain. It's also faster to on-board partners."
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"It's highly stable, and the redundancy is amazing. B2B Integrator also has a high availability option to work in a cluster environment. You rarely have issues operating it because of the HA."
"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"The solution is useful for transferring files from one format to another format. Also, the solution is useful in translation."
"The most valuable feature of IBM B2B Integrator is its security and flexibility."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."
"Calculations are a little bit faster. It can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms. You don't need any other specific tool. You 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."
"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."
"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"When working on an elaborate rule, I end up creating it in notepad and then pasting it into the Extended Rule window, which is not convenient."
"The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with."
"The initial setup is complex."
"IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly."
"The web interface of B2B is quite outdated and not particularly user-friendly."
"They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap."
"API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud."
"The reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit."
"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."
"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 difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."
