Though the tool reduces the internal hosting cost for businesses, it needs to provide more API integrations

I used Cleo Integration Cloud Platform for its EDI technology. In other words, the solution was hosted as an EDI solution. The product was used for a logistics company, where they used it to transfer EDI files and for partner connectivity on Cleo's network Using the product as a hosted solution…

High level security, flexible, and strong vendor partnerships

The initial setup of IBM B2B Integrator is simple. However, for some customers it is difficult. To implement the solution, we follow a series of steps. Initially, we conduct a gap analysis to identify any discrepancies. Then, we gather requirements from various sources and comprehend the customer's business needs, including their reasons for seeking a solution and how it will be utilized. Based on this information, we propose the most practical scenarios. Finally, we proceed with building the necessary processes and templates. The duration required for implementing a solution varies depending on several factors, including the specific use case and the capabilities of the engineer responsible for the implementation. If the engineer is skilled and efficient, the implementation process is likely to be quicker.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of use it provides. Cleo Integration Cloud Platform is a straightforward and simple product."

"IBM B2B Integrator is a great tool, robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and ideal solution."

"Everything from the order to fulfillment to the payment process, except for physical packing and shipping, is fully automated for some customer orders."

"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."

"The most valuable features assist with understanding data formats and transforming data."

"Out-of-box process orchestration yields quick implementations."

"This solution allows for easy integration with heterogeneous applications."

"B2B Integrator is multi-platform, so it can be integrated with Windows, Unix, or whatever, and it can work with almost all programming languages. It can also transfer a lot of data in a short time. For instance, a system I recently implemented exchanges about 20 million files a day."

"The best feature is that many companies use the solution so there is a lot of peer support."

Cons

"Currently, the solution fails to provide users with additional protocol assistance and API integrations, so the aforementioned areas need to be considered for improvement."

"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."

"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."

"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."

"Map translator needs more enhancements."

"When working on an elaborate rule, I end up creating it in notepad and then pasting it into the Extended Rule window, which is not convenient."

"The web interface of B2B is quite outdated and not particularly user-friendly."

"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 reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I learned that the product's price is reasonable based on the interactions I had with my company's purchase team."

"The pricing is based on how many cores are used and the type of cores."

"We pay an annual fee based on the number of VPUs. It's fairly reasonable. We're in the middle of analyzing other products, and they're all pretty much in the same range."

"The solution is priced at $20,000 to $30,000 per year with no extra costs."

"Licensing depends upon the package you opt for within the solution. The solution is a bit costly compared to the other integration tools in the market."

"The price of IBM B2B Integrator is too high. However, IBM may be willing to give a discount if there are negotiations. If they see that there is a good opportunity for them they can provide a discount."

"The product costs more than 40K."
