They have their number on their website to call, and they are fast and available all the time.
The support technician who worked with me initially owned the ticket through the whole process, even after escalating to developers or higher-level support.
Support deactivated the old license, activated the new one, and fixed the issue in about two to three hours.
The support provided by SEEBURGER is excellent.
I would rate my experience with the technical support of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite as 10 out of 10.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6

Sentiment score
7.4
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite excels in scalability and flexibility, easily adapting to various business needs with cloud integration.
We have clients with over 600,000 users.
With the scaling of the company, it was absolutely capable of handling all the data and databases.
When adding new jobs, I typically find similar projects, copy them, edit the XML file, and apply the changes.
The scalability depends primarily on the mapping itself, as the connection and file flow are in the cloud.

Room For Improvement

GoAnywhere MFT requires improvements in support, interface, performance, security, and cost-effectiveness, emphasizing better error handling and monitoring.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite needs interface simplification, enhanced monitoring, better documentation, and improved cloud integration and cost models.
That's the only thing that could help if the application could log what caused the error for us to prevent it.
We had to reach out to GoAnywhere support, and they were quick to provide support within a day, so we were able to complete that use case.
We did have some issues a couple of months back where we were having some unscheduled outages, and the support team worked with me closely and provided a solution that appears to have fixed the problem.
Acquiring training documents on a public domain for SEEBURGER is challenging.
The cloud interface is currently too cluttered, especially when creating new transactions from scratch or performing search queries.

SEEBURGER's flexible licensing and comprehensive features offer competitive pricing, justifying its cost despite complexity for many organizations.
Azure is significantly more expensive.
There are approximately 30% to 40% savings.
The pricing is decent for mid-sized and small-sized companies.
Regarding the pricing of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite, I would rate it as 7 out of 10.
 

Valuable Features

GoAnywhere MFT excels in security, automation, and integration, streamlining secure data transfers without custom scripting.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers platform independence, strong EDI automation, seamless SAP integration, scalability, and comprehensive global B2B integration.
It provides multiple cipher options for HTTPS and SFTP protocols, utilizing AES-based algorithms for secure communication and data transfer.
I can produce reports for security and have full control over secure protocols allowed on the system, making it easy to comply with security standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
Before, we had to write scripts and manually update them to move data around, encrypt files, or rename files. Now we just use the GUI to set the modules for transfers, encryption, renaming, and copying, allowing us to set it and schedule it to run without any user interaction.
It comes pre-loaded with solutions, meaning it is ready to use without requiring significant development.
There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues.

Featured Reviews

Joel Vinas - PeerSpot reviewer
Created a much better working relationship with our partners and saved a lot of time
While I was happy with the training and support, more of it could be beneficial. We had some basic training and support. I talked with Fortra recently, and they said that they revamped and changed their training support. I have not used it since December. I got support in February and May of last year, and it was not bad. I was just not sure which questions to ask. Trying to learn this stuff on the fly as you are handed a project is always stressful. I like that you can tweak the interface so much, but it would be nice to be able to tweak it some more. The ability to further tweak the interface would be advantageous, as our end users had some questions about modifications that we could not address. Other than that, GoAnywhere seemed to fulfill its role as a simple solution for secure file transfer.
VARUNKUMAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great end-to-end integration, data mapping, and communication protocols
At this moment, everything is working fine. When we are talking to them, when we are trying to bring all this mapping in-house, right now, SEEBURGER is doing everything for us. However, when we are thinking of going onto the cloud, so they are not using any of AWS or Azure which are more stable. They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see.
