Cons
"The reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit.""There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry.""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and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap.""The user interface is outdated.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.""Map translator needs more enhancements.""API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud.""The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions.""End-to-end visibility and monitoring application required. The control center is available and covers this area, but it still fails in many monitoring scenarios."
