Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The BizTalk server here at Runnymede hospital handles communication from Meditech which is our EMR system, this communication is made up of hl7 messages. Biztalk allows these messages to be sent down to our other down systems like the food ordering system for patients. I personally use the product for my job of supporting applications and databases here at the hospital as well as supporting the EMR system which works with Biztalk.
Pros and Cons
  • Send and receive HL7 messages.
  • Logging of errors.
  • Ability to integrate with other systems.
  • Better help guide.
  • Better method to alert admins of issues maybe an email alert.
  • Performance could be faster.
Likelihood to Recommend
Biztalk is best suited for use in hospitals that have multiple systems such as an EMR like Meditech and Computation for the kitchen software that handles patient data. Biztalk is not suited for environments with just one EMR system and no downstream software systems.
Most Important Features
  • Ability to send and receive HL7 messages.
  • Ability to send HL7 messages to other systems.
  • The protection of patient data through encryption.
Return on Investment
  • BizTalk positively impacted this hospital by integrating with our new EMR and other software systems.
  • BizTalk allowed our bedside terminals to get set up with touch point dining so patients can order their own food.
  • BizTalk gave us a return on investment because it is widely used with more than one system here.
  • We got a return on investment because the cost of patients being for IPTV covers this server cost.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Microsoft BizTalk is being used in a number of places as an integration hub. Years ago it was chosen as the integration hub for the organization. As of late we have started moving some things off of this hub as it no longer meets our needs for an agile development platform.
Pros and Cons
  • Microsoft BizTalk is extremely powerful
  • Microsoft BizTalk can connect to a number of different enterprise applications
  • Microsoft BizTalk utilities a GUI environment for development
  • Microsoft BizTalk is over engineered for some situtations
  • Microsoft BizTalk can be frustrating to use as it forces you to use the GUI as opposed to code
  • Microsoft BizTalk is very resource intensive to create integrations
Likelihood to Recommend
Microsoft BizTalk does what it sets out to do and does it very well. However many times the solution is far more complex than it needs to be. This also creates a lot of overhead for development and testing. Deployment is very difficult and requires the server to be recycled thus making all the users not able to use it.
Return on Investment
  • 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
Usability
5
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
8
Microsoft BizTalk support is very good as it is a Microsoft product. There are many resources available to find online and 3rd party website that can assist you. In addition to these you can always purchase support from Microsoft either virtually or onsite. The Microsoft support is great but is also very pricey.
Alternatives Considered
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. We now develop in a number of places and if Microsoft BizTalk is the right choice we go there.
