The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support. In the 2016 version, they gave the option to connect to Azure Logic Apps and adapters. And in the 2020 version, we have direct connectivity with Azure AD. We have so many virtual tools... There are competitors now, such as MuleSoft, which is owned by Salesforce. However, as a Microsoft admin, I have a strong preference for BizTalk. It is easy for a beginner to learn BizTalk. I was trained in .NET technology, then I gradually learned BizTalk on my own. You can install VMware and get the community version of BizTalk to practice and do POCs [Proofs of Concept]. The development environment lets you use the admin console and test everything, so it's easy to see if BizTalk is a good fit. If you want to learn BizTalk for the first time, you can definitely do it.

The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions. We can implement complex mapping and integration across the account. We can split pipeline concepts based on requirements and process everything. It's based on the demand. Whatever it is, we can implement it in the XML Disassembler or .class file decoding. We can split, unzip, and encode pipeline concepts. If you're working on Edifecs transactions, you need to create the business profiles and agreements based on how it will work and transform. It will process the transactions based on this identifier and the digital profiles. When I'm working on development side data, we don't use any DevOps. We implement Orchestrator, and it's BTDF.

Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable. Right now, we face data loss due to timeouts and other restrictions when using Azure Logic Apps and similar features. For instance, in Logic Apps, we can't use very large SQL queries. If a query doesn't execute within two minutes, it automatically times out – the default Logic App timeout is five minutes. However, we didn't have these kinds of limitations with BizTalk Server. Additionally, BizTalk Server offers superior speed and faster processing. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use BizTalk Server for the first time. It is low-code and relies on configuration instead of extensive coding, so it's considered low-code.

Valuable Features

"Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."

Room for Improvement

"BizTalk lacks native cloud support. BizTalk doesn't offer in-built support for cloud. We need to use third-party adapters to connect it to cloud services."
"It's an on-premises system, requiring physical servers for deployment. This is different from Azure; you don't need any servers with Azure. If you have a subscription, you can do whatever you want. There are unit restrictions based on the environment (like non-production vs. production) in BizTalk. You need physical servers and databases. In Azure, those are not required – it's all in the cloud."
"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."

Pricing

"BizTalk Server is not freeware. There's a significant licensing cost involved. Be sure you will actually utilize its features fully."
"It was not cheap, but it was affordable."
"Based on the knowledge, it is relatively cheaper than Azure Identity Services and cloud services in general."
