Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."Easy to understand documentation with a huge list of examples and tutorials."
"The message queue connectors are the most valuable feature. They have built-in connectors for most of the systems, like SAP and Oracle Database."
"The solution offers good performance and is stable."
"REST API design and development support are useful. Building and exposing APIs using GUI API designer with editor makes implementation a breeze."
"From a performance point of view, it's very good and it doesn't need very much in terms of CPU resources."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"The stability is mostly pretty good."
"It aligns well with containerized environments, which increases its scalability and high availability."
"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."
"If SEEBURGER plans to do something, they will meet their target. We haven't been disappointed by them at all. For example, we had six trading partners to onboard and they said, "We'll make it happen," and they did make it happen. They did exactly what they said they would do. That's a really positive thing."
"It used to take half an hour to move one file from one location to another. Now, it takes 10 minutes."
"Among the most important [features] are the BIC 6 Converter and the communication protocols, which have the newer security features for certificates and encryption."
"We rarely get hanged processes."
"SEEBURGER has helped us to enable digital business transformation. Every time we add a new customer, there is a digital footprint. This is no longer a manual process."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"The solution is flexible when it comes to adding integrations. It is much easier to use than the other tools we have to move the files. Across the board, we can move files in a short amount of time compared to our other existing tools."
"They should add connectors to banking applications and other specific industries."
"To scale virtically, is difficult."
"Its integration with Cloud Pak components could be better."
"I can't say that there is any improvement I’m looking for. I’m new and haven’t connected with all features. For all drawbacks that were in the old version, I think they have been solved. The scalability needs improvement."
"I would like to see more metered rest and API support. IBM is already working on it on Version 11, but it still needs improvement."
"The price could be better. It would also be better if they simplified the code."
"The tracing and debugging features are not up to date with more modern technology available."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"The speed of development needs improvement. If you acquire any customization, it can be a slightly slow process. I would like to see more flexibility around customizations. The time frame right now depends on the sophistication and customization, but we have to go through a process of getting them to develop, implement, and test it. This might take a couple of weeks. If it was a simpler system to customize, the time could probably be cut by half or down by even 25 percent of what it would normally take."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite does not have an end user or subscriber console which can show the traffic status."
"The solution's documentation is not up to the mark and needs to be improved."
"API connectivity needs improvement as well as the GUI. The GUI hasn't changed that much in 10 years, but of course, that's already been updated. I would say I'm excited about the screenshots but that's about it."
"The ability to bind a mapping to an agreement seems a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a better way of navigating to a map name rather than using a drop down list."
"There are some aspects at the front, the actual queries that you use, that could be improved. They're all very minor to be honest."
"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."
"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."
