"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of IBM B2B Integrator is its security and flexibility."
"Out-of-box process orchestration yields quick implementations."
"The best feature is that many companies use the solution so there is a lot of peer support."
"B2B provides a secure communication channel."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly."
"End-to-end visibility and monitoring application required. The control center is available and covers this area, but it still fails in many monitoring scenarios."
"The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry."
"They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
