We have not yet scaled, but I'm pretty sure the solution is easy to scale.

Scalability is a bit tricky because we're limited on file sizes. We're exploring ways to integrate into PCI DSS, a security requirement for the credit cards system. So it might be a little challenging to scale above what we have now. I'd say it's a moderate level of difficulty. We can do some things, but some aspects are more complex because of security. We plan to increase our usage to cover anything that goes in and out of the bank. Eventually, everything will pass through the product, so it's the only gateway to transfer anything in and out of the bank.

The scalability is high, but the ease of scalability depends on what you're using. IBM Sterling has the container option, which you can use to auto scale, but it depends on what kind of implementation you have done.

The product is very reliable because five or more GB files process well in the cloud. It takes time, but it doesn't hang. It starts lagging if you have a low disk space in the cloud and load more than five MB of files.

We have around 800 users using this solution.

Scalability-wise, it is a good solution. My lack of experience with other integration tools makes comparing its scalability with other solutions difficult. Also, there are a good number of users using the solution in my company, and we do plan to increase the number of users.

Scalability is perfectly fine. You can do whatever you want. You can scale it up as much as you want. We're nowhere near being in a position where we will be running into capacity issues. However, I believe it's highly scalable.

We're currently moving into a clustered environment so we're going to add to the scalability using two different servers and they're going to be in an active - active mode.

We have already installed it on a four-node cluster, so it's pretty scalable. Down the line, if there is a need, we can simply add two more nodes without complicating it. We could definitely scale it, so that's not a big deal.

Infrastructure Engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

Scalability is great. We future planned when we implemented the Sterling solution so that we could match 10-year growth and right now, we're underutilizing the environment. We've done 1x, 2x, 3x, even 5x testing on it. It still holds up to a 5x test, whereas our legacy platform couldn't even match the 1x that we currently are running.

It's pretty scalable; I don't doubt that. The only thing I feel right now is that it has slowed down in terms of integrating with other new technologies. For example, Aspira hasn't yet been integrated with this B2B solution, which in my opinion is the need of the hour.

The scalability of the product is excellent. If a company needs to build the solution out, they can do so.

There are thousands of organizations that are using the product worldwide. If I'm talking about the UAE, our market, in the UAE we have close to 72 customers who are using this product.

It can go any size. It's a little bit expensive for a mom-and-pop shop, but again, IBM will be having much smaller packages, which will be more affordable.

It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster. I have observed at least one twister with ten notes up and running. It is most suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and it is better to go for their tax model.

The only con of the scalability is that we are trying to see how we can scale to the cloud. It is not really clear at this point how this will occur with this solution. We don’t know how it will scale if we move to a hybrid, on-premise solution on the cloud. That's not really clear at this point. I am trying to learn precisely that.

Network Manager at Garanti Bank

Scalability is good. When we were using FTP, it was not scalable; you have to install new servers for each one. With Sterling B2B Integrator, you can manage and collect everything on the same platform. It is an end-to-end solution. We have a mainframe, we have Sterling Connect: Direct on the mainframe, we have File Gateway, we have Unix and Windows Connect: Directs , and we have some security parts of Secure Proxies. Also, we did some integration with our LDAP Active Directory, so we don't create named users for company users. We just give permissions based on job function and adjust it. We don't need to create local users. That's why it's very scalable for us.
