IBM Sterling B2B Collaboration Reviews

The application is easy to use and customer support is outstanding. I use this product almost daily for Test and Production. Production rarely requires my intervention and I rarely think about it. For development, the support I receive is excellent. The turnaround for requests is very good and the support staff is always helpful.

I have no dislikes with this product. It does everything I need.

Being in the USA, we have customers overseas who use EDIFACT. IBM is very helpful in implementing EDIFACT processing. When I make a request, IBM will always honor that request and will offer tip/suggestions. This assistance is vital for me, as I am not a full time EDI expert.

makes streamlining and automating B2B transactions so easy! absolutely excellent software and coudnt work without it.

it can be very costly dependant on your use case.

it is solving an issue moving one customers data to another and then back to us. it handles all of this with absolute ease!

It helps to processes across partner communities in a single gateway

Every thing is fine and good , nothing to dislike

processes across partner communities in a single gateway

The system is too reliable. If the workload increases it scales up to make up the demand

We Can't migrate apps to other platforms. Which makes it a bottle neck. If you want to use different features of othe softwares it's really hard to do so.

Design & Development of Business Process Modelling Language (BPML) in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator to Integrate External Trading Partners and Internal Business Applications.

1) High Efforts are required to develop Very Complex EDI Maps.

2) Missing Pre-Packaged Integration Contents.

3) Missing Easy Portal for EDI Transmission Monitoring & Reprocessing.

Exchange of Business Documents Electronically with Multiple Customers & Vendors.

The product has ability to scale processing. It is very is stable, secure and reliable. There are multiple products in the market but IBM, we get a superior products. A B2B product rely on its service and if there's an issue, or a query or we want to evaluate a busines decision which needs a session on current needs, we can get it done via our account management team at IBM.

There are a couple of issues with the product current, like the current version of report we get on printing the EDI file can be improved and made more presentable. Some of the transactions needs to be in human readable format. Also, the analytics to track the EDI trading partners can be improved by ensuring better visibility into various partners and sub partners.

Helped to Improve compliance & risk management across the setup along with helping in addressing the internal as well as operational efficiencies we had in our business

Large scale solution that provides way for us to scale up processing and handle almost 100 billion a year in mission critical processing.

Constant patching and releases can make integration testing challenging; would like more testing by IBM to help reduce our testing needs.
