SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite improves efficiency, reduces manual tasks, and streamlines operations, leading to cost savings despite high initial costs.
Proper configuration of the solution, implementation strategy and correct scaling tier selection are other factors that influence the ROI.

There are no bugs or glitches.
This is the best service we have used within Azure and it has high availability.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Azure API Management needs improvements in scalability, integration, security, cost efficiency, deployment, and user experience for better functionality.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite requires better error tracking, improved training, user interface, API connectivity, cost models, documentation, and monitoring.
The service is extensive and expensive, and this added flexibility would make it more manageable and less prone to errors.
There are other solutions, like Dynatrace, that offer more features and have more functionalities.
My team found difficulty in migrating APIs from one platform to this platform.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Azure API Management offers competitive pricing, but premium features and additional service charges require careful cost management.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers flexible pricing starting at £19,000 annually, with costs based on usage and required services.
Frankly, Azure is our most expensive resource; it's costly.
The premium tier is too expensive for medium-sized organizations.
Moreover, there are additional costs to the standard licensing fees.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Azure API Management offers robust access control, seamless integration, and scalability, supporting diverse enterprise needs effectively.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is praised for its reliability, flexibility, integration capabilities, data mapping, and seamless SAP integration.

The platform's most valuable features are its rule-based permissions and comprehensive API lifecycle management capabilities.
The ability to create a subscription model for APIs allows companies to monetize valuable data and share it securely.

Rajiv Bala Balasubramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficiently manages and monetizes API
It is a scalable solution. You can add more computing power to your APM gateway. It also gives you the ability to have VNet integrations with your on-prem. It is one of the leading products in the API management space. It is not just software for users but software to handle requests. For example, for a B2C e-commerce store, all requests that users make from within the store pass through this API gateway. So it is defined by the number of requests to the API gateway, not by the number of actual users who use it. If you look at the number of requests, it would be a lot from all the different systems we have within Pampers.
VARUNKUMAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great end-to-end integration, data mapping, and communication protocols
At this moment, everything is working fine. When we are talking to them, when we are trying to bring all this mapping in-house, right now, SEEBURGER is doing everything for us. However, when we are thinking of going onto the cloud, so they are not using any of AWS or Azure which are more stable. They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see.
