Considered Both Products	Elevate EDI No answer on this topic	Microsoft BizTalk Viral Patel Senior Software Engineer Chose Microsoft BizTalk We used BizTalk Server as we had all other integrating applications developed on .Net and using Microsoft development environment. Kafka is best if integration is between non-Microsoft applications. We had few adapters developed using Microsoft .Net framework. BizTalk is well … Incentivized Helpful? Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Chose Microsoft BizTalk Microsoft BizTalk was chosen as the integration hub many years ago. It is still in use in a number of places in the organization however we are no longer developing specifically for this product in mind.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Microsoft BizTalk BizTalk was selected here mainly because it is easy to integrate to a .NET application (most of them are Web Service, WCF SOAP, WCF REST and Web API) and many backend databases are Microsoft SQL Server.

User Testimonials
	Elevate EDI	Microsoft BizTalk Server
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	It is perfectly suited if some heavy operation needs to be automated where jobs can be queued up. Scalable app which is required to develop in a lesser time frame. Good for when users should be able to change rules more frequently without any downtime, like promotions. The server is well proven in the market. BizTalk server is the best fit if all other integration adapters are developed using Microsoft applications and if all applications are meant to be processed on a Windows environment. Incentivized Viral Patel Senior Software Engineer Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	BizTalk uses Microsoft Visual Studio as the IDE (integrated development environment) tool, and it's very easy to use. The orchestration engine of BizTalk addresses resource issue very well for long-running business processes by dehydrating and rehydrating orchestration instances. BizTalk is very easy to integrate if the development is mainly on the Microsoft software family. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	BizTalk needs to be better at tracking down errors after the fact. Input files by default get deleted after processing successfully, unless you specifically specify that they don't. This can be an issue where you need to see what the input file contained, since you may have errors showing up in your target platform, in our case this was SAP. BizTalk logging needs improved. It needs to be able to log the content of the messages it sends and receives. It would be good if the log had a link to the input and output files. BizTalk needs to allow a simple way to preserve the input and output files for debugging purposes. A master setting on the orchestration would be helpful for this.

Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	BizTalk will always be required at this hospital. Incentivized GW Greg Walia Technical and Application Support Specialist Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Microsoft BizTalk is not an intuitive product. It requires many hours of looking through the settings to achieve what you need. Using 3rd party DLLs is a nightmare as you are forced to register them in the GAC of the server and this process is quite cumbersome just to use a DLL.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	BizTalk Server has been supported for more than 15 years. It is well proven in the market. Microsoft has provided excellent support with technical issues. Incentivized Viral Patel Senior Software Engineer Read full review

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	We did look at Jitterbit dataloader from Salesforce.com. Jitterbit seems like a pretty decent solution if you are doing a lot of uploads into Salesforce.com. However, its not nearly as flexible as Microsoft Biztalk is. Biztalk allows you to create any type of custom solution you wish, whereas Jitterbit is much more limited. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Microsoft BizTalk is more of a neutral ground as its [pricey] but it does do what it says Microsoft BizTalk requires a much larger team of developers and server ops to run Microsoft BizTalk can be pricey depending on your agreement Incentivized Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Read full review
