Simplifies processes, has helpful support, and offers useful automation
We are using it for data transfers. It's a data transfer tool. It provides a lot of management and makes everything very simple.  Everything used to be done with home-grown scripts. This kind of information is taken care of by this solution that brings in its own database. Manual scripting has…

Fast, easy to use, and useful for integration purposes
In the initial stage, I used only business processes to build code. As I used the product more and more, I learned that we could monitor, perform support activities, and install and upgrade servers. We can learn how to manage the clients to get business. We must get into a call with customers and get their requirements. We must pass all the test cases, both positive and negative. We need to manage our team as well. We use various protocols for data security, like SFTP, FTP, and HTTP. We follow the security levels based on the customer’s requirements. We encrypt the file, and the customers decrypt it using the public and private keys we provide. Customers who need high security opt for HTTP certificates and AS2. I have also worked on AWS and Azure to pass files to the buckets. I also work on single sign-on authentication. External users can access our dashboard with a few details. For example, if our customers need to see whether a file is transferred from our end, they can easily log in to the details and monitor it. They can also perform health checks. I will recommend the tool to others. People who want to use the tool must not do anything blindly. They must analyze, learn the concept, and understand the purpose of the tool. There are other products in the market, like MuleSoft, that have the same functionality. We must understand why we are using IBM B2B Integrator. We must gather some information. I take some introductory classes for the new joiners in my organization. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Axway AMPLIFY B2B Integration has a great user interface that is easy to understand."
"The automation of all the data transfers is great."
"This solution allows for easy integration with heterogeneous applications."
"The solution is useful for transferring files from one format to another format. Also, the solution is useful in translation."
"There are also different tabs where we can check the status of file transfers and business processes, and we can monitor adapters and services in the link."
"It uses VMs, allowing us to enable horizontal scaling."
"The most valuable feature of IBM B2B Integrator is its security and flexibility."
"The solution is fast and easy to use."
"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

"The initial setup can be a bit tricky."
"The solution's performance could be improved and made similar to that of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"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."
"IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly."
"Map translator needs more enhancements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other SaaS platforms, the solution's pricing is less."
"The solution is priced at $20,000 to $30,000 per year with no extra costs."
"The product costs more than 40K."
"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 pricing is based on how many cores are used and the type of cores."
"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."
"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."
