Great Integration framework for a wide variety of applications!
Pros
- The UI is really simple to use, you have source/destination mapping for the items.
- The scheduler gives you a lot of options when executing the models.
- The error handling is usually pretty good and the errors can be corrected fast.
Cons
- Although the scenarios may be online, the main service usually freezes and the processes can't transact any data. With a single restart of the service, the processes will be functioning again.
- The support for more applications would be nice, even though there is a nice number of them. Most of the main applications in the market are supported.
- The licensing for the software may be a little confusing; you can't buy individual licenses as they come in packages of four.
Return on Investment
- The implementation time for this kind of projects has been greatly reduced.
- Certifying an In-House resource in the Magix xpi and xpa platforms is probably the best option, considering all of the projects that can be developed in the future without the need of an external consultant.
- The processes that have been automatized with the Magic xpi platform helped reduce human error and the time those processes took to finish.
