Has strong stability and professional support
The initial setup is quite complex. Most of our customers can't deploy SWIFT interfaces by themselves and they need help from certified engineers. It's complex as is. The SWIFT system is complex. The time it takes to deploy will depend on the project. It can take anywhere from one to seven days. If it's for an integration then it will take longer. The users are from smaller financial institutions to very big banks. In some cases the deployment will require one person for one part and up to 10 people from the customer's side; if customers have a complex infrastructure and different people are responsible for different parts of this infrastructure, then it will involve more than 10 people.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to monitor all B2B messages, and we are able to see or track each message on it from an error perspective. That's a good side of it. It is working well, and we're able to do our current job."
"They have best-in-class, quality support."
"The product's most valuable feature is the real-time integration suite."
"They have multiple features for each kind of task and issue. The company has different channels to give information to the administration. Security and integration capabilities are also important. This product has helped to replace a lot of other solutions, saving time and cost."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."
 

Cons

"It can be now classified as a legacy system because there are no more updates. From what I know, there will be no updates for the current version, which is an issue. Therefore, we are looking for a compatible new software that we can use. We're currently researching what is there in the market. We would consider something that would give us better speed on our current processor. There is also room for improvement in terms of its scalability and GUI. It is an old system, and its scalability can be improved. Its GUI can also be more appealing."
"Onboarding on the solution is complex. It's hard to onboard partners and customer suppliers. It's one aspect that is not that straightforward."
"They can improve APIs because they are still lagging behind in API connectivity. With non-API connectivity, they're market leaders, but API connectivity, they're still in the immature space."
"The only weaknesses they have different governance for each task and different channels for communication which are hard to maintain. The relation of the company with other companies can be improved. We have a lot of customers who this platform for the interchange of information which can also be improved. The compliance information about banks can also be updated."
"I would like for them to work in real-time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive because of its rich features."
"Pricing is a little bit on the higher side because they give you the best support. Out of ten, I would rate pricing at seven or eight."
"They have a good pricing system, in relation to powerful features."
