Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."It's highly configurable, there is no need for standalone scripting."
"Very high functionality with the ability to plug in your own code."
"I have found almost all the features valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is that it has good functionality."
"It offers easy utilization of resources for smooth transfers."
"This product has been a leader in the field of secure file exchange."
"The platform has been very consistent and responsive."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) also allowed us to connect EDI vendors at will."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
"SEEBURGER has helped us to enable digital business transformation. Every time we add a new customer, there is a digital footprint. This is no longer a manual process."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) has been good at communicating between two applications, changing formats and using the required protocols... We can have one site communicating in an old FTP or SFTP style, or via file transfer. And with other applications, we could have API or a web service call or some other protocol used to send information."
"The solution is flexible when it comes to adding integrations. It is much easier to use than the other tools we have to move the files. Across the board, we can move files in a short amount of time compared to our other existing tools."
"When orders come in they go into our ERP system directly, so there is integration there."
"Too many features; UI is not good."
"The admin console needs some work."
"The API capabilities could be expanded to make integration more versatile."
"Not a ten because it's a bit complex, not so simple. It's one product but there are many screens."
"IBM is advising not to use the IT translate anymore but this is going to be an extra cost to the customer to use the alternative."
"I would like to see auto-deployment without service disruptions."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
"I don't think the scalability of the solution is that great because they have tied the solution to their named nodes and it does not allow scalability like some of the cloud products allow."
"There might be some improvements they could make to the portal, but they're not anything that stops me from working."
"There are a lot of service packs during the year. I know that part is the process for updating features, but sometimes it's difficult to update service packs every month."
"When we got SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS), it was clear that it was going to take more of a technical person. It does take a technically-rooted individual to operate it. It's not something for your everyday guy to do. For what it's doing for us, a dedicated resource is required."
"Some of the functionality for retriggering documents, where you have to step through a termination process and then retrigger it, versus just being able to restart or retrigger more easily, is a bit challenging, depending on the scenario."
"The product is not integrated very well with different cloud providers. We did work with the vendor to build a solution for Amazon, but there is no solution for other cloud providers like Google or Azure. The vendor needs to create adapters so that if we have a requirement to transfer data from our data center to another cloud, outside of Amazon, we would be delighted with that."
"We occasionally get ZIP files. Sometimes the ZIP file has one file inside of it, and sometimes the ZIP file might have 30 files inside of it. We have been working with SEEBURGER to enhance their PKUNZIP process to be able to unzip multiple files in a single workflow instead of just one file. This is still something that is in process."
