There are a lot of things that can be improved. One would be integration of the different products into one. Today they have their API management tool, they have the SEEBURGER legacy front end, and the entire BIS. In the BIS, if I want to have some API functionalities, that is a separate tool. The integration between the API tool and the BIS is not that straightforward. If they were to combine these tools and give us one suite, that would be helpful. Today I have a lot of partners onboard. I have something like 50,000 partners doing API transactions. If I want to introduce a new tool for API management, I have to do a lot of workarounds. But if it were integrated well within the existing suite, it could be straightforward for me. I would not have to reach out to all those partners and request that they change something. I could deal with that internally, within the suite itself. There are a few capabilities that have come out a little late. TIBCO introduced its container edition way back. It's been on the market for three or four. SEEBURGER is only in the initial phase of 6.7. If SEEBURGER could come up with and adopt changes really quickly, that would be better. Their ability to future proof our business really depends on what sort of development they do and how fast they adopt changes. They are a little slow in releasing newer features. We are hopeful that SEEBURGER will change their internal processes to adopt changes a little quicker.

The most valuable features are the solution's stability as well as its ease of use and flexibility to configure a workflow with as many (or as few) steps as you need. It offers us more value to our internal customers because we can do so much more than if we had a software that was super rigid. If you are looking for a software that emulates writing a piece of code where you can have as many steps as you want in whatever order you want to, this is the one. SEEBURGER BIS is so much better than other solutions because of this. Their entire software suite is 100 percent homegrown. Every component that they have built was built to be integrated with another component. It is all one product. Due to acquisition and the integration space being a big thing, other vendors tend to go, "Buy this, buy that, and then buy that." They try to bolt them all together and make three different vendors' products work in concert as one. My experience has been that it usually leads to confusion as well as bugginess and problems. SEEBURGER BIS is all one product, all homegrown, and everything is fully integrated. API adoption is on the rise everywhere. Even in the file-based space, APIs are being adopted a lot, especially at our company. One thing I like about SEEBURGER and their transformation engine is it is completely integrated with JSON file formats, which are typically used in API calls. I just did an API over the last couple of weeks with a complex data structure and SEEBURGER BIS Mapper handled that with no problems. As we look to the future, APIs are really taking hold. It is nice that SEEBURGER BIS can totally handle whatever comes our way that is API related.

They have room to grow with the newest technologies. We are a little locked in with understanding the errors that we receive. We are working with their support to prevent these issues when they come into the database. We use a SQL database and believe they can do better when it comes working with large databases. We have had few instances where the system is hanging, which are most likely from the database. We are working with their support to find out the problem and fix their system. We have tried to use their notification system to prevent these issues, but they need to improve their monitoring system.

Valuable Features

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers reliability, flexibility with multiple protocols, effective message tracking, and comprehensive automation features. Its ease of use, robust adapter and mapping capabilities, strong customer support, and extensive integration options are highly valued. The platform supports various workflows, provides real-time data insights, and integrates well with SAP. Its stability and scalability are appreciated, along with the ability to handle complex API transformations and real-time monitoring. The tool helps reduce costs, increases efficiency, and improves compliance.

"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"The tool's performance doesn't get affected by transformation loads. You can write any number of rules, filtering criteria, transformations, etc."
"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."

Room for Improvement

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite's error-tracking is insufficient, with generic messages often in German. Training is inadequate and consulting answers are inconsistent. Frequent patches require extensive retesting. Integration between tools is not seamless. GUI, API connectivity, and monitoring need enhancements. The user interface is confusing and documentation requires improvement. Users seek more self-sufficiency and better alignment on a global scale. Cost models differ between Europe and the USA, and updates on cloud hosting with Azure and AWS are anticipated.

"The solution's documentation is not up to the mark and needs to be improved."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite does not have an end user or subscriber console which can show the traffic status."
"I find the solution quite confusing to use, especially when looking at the tree structure."

ROI

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite enhances efficiency by automating tasks and improving data integration. Users reported cost savings, reduced complexity, and consolidation of integration platforms. The suite bolstered trading partner onboarding and improved internal and intercompany processes like warehouse transfers and stock control. Some users saw savings in time and money due to less downtime. Companies noted an increase in efficiency by 30 percent and realized returns in processing orders and support cost savings.

Pricing

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pricing varies depending on modules and usage. Annual costs can range from £19,000 per message to £120,000 for support. Licensing covers CPU and module usage with maintenance at 20%. Onboarding new partners incurs additional costs. Professional services are extra and can be used for critical projects. Flexible options allow starting small and growing. Comparably priced with IBM Sterling and Axway, the costs can be mid-tier or lower than high-end providers like TIBCO.

"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"We pay for a maximum number of setups, then we pay per customer map, and we pay maintenance on each one of those. BIS provides the flexibility to pay as you grow. The price of each customer map is €200 and the hourly rate for maintenance is fairly reasonable."
"I have had exposure to other big vendors over the years and would have to say the pricing is pretty typical. They all fall into a common pricing range, at least the bigger vendors: Axway, IBM Sterling, Globalscape, and SEEBURGER. They all fall into that mid-tier pricing. So, SEEBURGER is commensurate with other large integration vendors operating in this space. Maybe it is lower than some of the really high-end ones. You can get some of these high-end transactional messaging integration systems, like TIBCO, that tend to be kind of on a higher echelon of pricing. I would say SEEBURGER is more mid-level."

Popular Use Cases

Primary uses of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite include EDI transactions such as purchase orders, invoices, credit memos, and shipment notifications. Companies use it for B2B communication, application integration, secure file transfers, and development tools to translate SAP IDocs to EDI messages. It is implemented on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-hosted, serving industries like logistics, automotive, and suppliers. Organizations handle 800,000 processes weekly, ensuring real-time, 24/7 business operations.

Service and Support

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite's customer service and technical support vary in responsiveness and expertise. Some users report quick, accurate assistance, while others experience delays, especially with customized solutions. The transition from personalized support to a helpdesk model has lost some familiarity, though it brings technical expertise. Many appreciate their responsiveness and willingness to address issues, even if there are occasional frustrations with repeated explanations or upgrade requirements. Generally, users find the support competent and proactive in resolving issues.

Deployment

Users experienced varied durations for deployments, ranging from one month to nine months. They encountered complexities, especially when migrating from older versions or different systems. Despite challenges, particularly in transforming mappings and configuring protocols, new tools and wizards in recent versions have simplified setups. Troubleshooting and support were noted as efficient. Users appreciated the ease of patch updates and proactive planning meetings with SEEBURGER’s team to ensure smooth transitions.

Scalability

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite handles increasing volume well and supports horizontal and vertical growth, with multiple instances for different regions and functions. It integrates deeply with internal processes, accommodates new partners efficiently, and offers robust on-premise and cloud versions. Users value its capability to distribute workloads across nodes and appreciate its flexibility. Despite some initial challenges, users find its scalability superior to other systems. The system supports frequent updates, maintaining strong performance and security.

Stability

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is reported as very stable with no significant outages. Users appreciate its consistent performance, minimal downtime, and robust functionality. Stability is enhanced by features like Active-Active clustering, which ensures continuous operation even during updates. Users note that the system often maintains 99.5% to 100% uptime, with issues typically attributed to infrastructure rather than the software. Additionally, system enhancements and continuous improvements contribute to its reliability, making it a dependable choice for integration needs.
