General Manager Neverhack Spain at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Experience with robust integrator reveals strong performance and potential for interface updates
Based on my experience and my clients' feedback, there are a few points IBM can improve for IBM B2B Integrator. One of these is the graphical user interface. For several years, IBM has been promising to renew this interface, which has an ancient, old aesthetic, though it contains many functionalities. Creating a new interface would incur a very high internal cost with no new profitability for IBM. This is one of the points where customers say it feels like working in the 1990s with this interface. Another significant issue is that the platform is not multi-tenant. It's not possible to have different tenants in the cloud. This creates problems when trying to create SaaS offers based on IBM B2B Integrator, as there is the possibility that some workflow for a customer can be visible to another one. Since it's not multi-tenant, it's running on the same tenant of the platform. This is the main issue that the platform has.

Works at a retailer
Easy to use, good support, integrates with ShipStation, and has helped reduce our workload
The ability to integrate with ShipStation has been a highlight. It also integrated directly with our ERP/CRM software seamlessly. SPS is intuitive to use and the interface is easy to navigate. We have multiple team members accessing multiple channel accounts within SPS and it could not be more user-friendly. The filters are a great way to get to the data you need.
