Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.""The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good.""BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product.""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.""The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."

Cons
"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.""The deployment could be simplified.""BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features.""BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging.""The product's deployment can be quicker"

More BizTalk Server Cons →

"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing.""Their technical support needs improvement.""This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight.""There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
