Highly scalable solution that fulfils the need for connectivity mediation

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster."

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

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

More IBM B2B Integrator pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"The solution's technical support is good."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

Cons

"The web interface of B2B is quite outdated and not particularly user-friendly."

"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."

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

"There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application."

"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."

"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."

"Map translator needs more enhancements."

"Patching or upgrading the product is a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice if they removed the installation manager port. We find it complicates upgrading and patching a great deal."

More IBM B2B Integrator cons

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"The product costs more than 40K."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The solution is highly-priced."
