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.""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.""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 of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions.""The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."

"The open, flexible architecture has brought in the agile computing environment along with better Dr capabilities. Automation management and operational tasks across VMware and third-party applications, like our HMIS and other business productivity applications, have delivered peace of mind.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""It is the most cost-effective method for moving data between machines.""The technical support services are excellent.""vCenter Orchestrator is very reliable and stable.""The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool.""It is very stable. I have been using vCenter Orchestrator from version three now to six plus.""The solution is stable."

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complex.""The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities.""BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."

More BizTalk Server Cons →

"The cost of the solution is high.""I would like to see better performance.""The snapshot technology of VMware is not good compared to other solutions in the market, like Nutanix.""The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""I would like to see, from within the Web Console, being able to define the project and custom templates per user; almost like how CloudSpec has approached the solution.""Using this solution requires a lot of experience.""Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified.""It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • More BizTalk Server Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
