Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2024

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite and Kiteworks both compete in the field of integration and file transfer solutions. SEEBURGER seems to have the upper hand in terms of integration capabilities, while Kiteworks excels in secure file transfer protocols.

Features: SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers outstanding management of diverse communication protocols, a user-friendly interface for newcomers, and allows for custom business process designs using its BPM designer. Meanwhile, Kiteworks provides secure file sharing and access control features, efficient large file transactions up to 100 GB, and supports two-factor authentication for enhanced security.

Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER users note the need for a simplified interface, better error monitoring, and improvements in OEM protocol adapters. Kiteworks users suggest improving admin console stability, streamlining the offboarding process, and seeking faster support and resolution times for system lags.

Kiteworks offers flexible deployment options including cloud solutions and is appreciated for its centralized support structure despite occasional time zone-related communication barriers.

Users find ROI in operational efficiencies and reduced manpower. Kiteworks' pricing varies by region and configuration but is considered justified by its security advantages. Both products show ROI through efficiency gains and automation of manual tasks.

Streamlined global file sharing with user-friendly interface and self-service capabilities

I'm not a network expert, however, there must be some room for improvement. Perhaps there could be a notification to users about their bandwidth or network packet loss. If users receive such notifications, they can understand any disruptions are due to issues with their network or bandwidth rather than the site or Kiteworks. Additionally, I work from offshore India, and I told my client manager to communicate with the Kiteworks forum salesman regarding one feature. I noticed the Kiteworks login UI is very basic, lacking customization. Allowing more HTML tags to add hyperlinks or user-friendly information on the home page would be very useful.

Exceptional support and reliability drive optimal data flow and integration

The features of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite that I found most valuable are related to entity flow. We can find the entity flow to be very useful so we can grab the flow accordingly. There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues. When comparing to other applications, SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is the easiest way to understand the application. I have also worked on the cloud services where SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is moving to cloud. I have worked on cloud services where the mapping part is in the cloud itself, along with the connection setup.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I can identify from which region our users are uploading or downloading files."

"It’s a great product that you should seriously consider and take the first step by training."

"The solution removes the limitations with file attachment size that is found with regular email."

"The most useful feature of this solution is to share files with external parties and we can use this functionality to share files internally too."

"The solution can be used remotely, including from mobiles, and it's easy to upload and share files."

"I like Kiteworks or Accellion because it's continuously upgraded. I also know that it probably works with a lot of clients."

"Kiteworks is easy to manage and maintain with a user-friendly interface and I recommend it to anyone that requires a file-sharing system that supports SFTP."

"The best part of this solution is that we can generate multiple reports about how the data is transferred and about user information or IP."

More Kiteworks pros

"One of the things that SEEBURGER always touts is their ability to do "any to any" formatting... it doesn't matter if you want to take a CSV file or an XML file or a flat file or a PDF file or a structure EDI file; you can transform it from one format to another - any to any or even to the same format - which is a really nice feature."

"The platform has been very consistent and responsive."

"Having the SEEBURGER consulting team perform the installation alleviates a lot of headaches and ensures a stable system."

"The solution helps us automate processes, more on the insurance side. Where they used to have to babysit monthly files, because of size, they don't have to do that with SEEBURGER BIS. They just run the monthly process. Files get collected, translated, and sent to the proper systems, so the babysitting is gone."

"Whatever it is I need, I have, for example, end-to-end integration, data mapping, communication protocols, and integration with the SAP module."

"Among the most valuable features are the EDI translator and a lot of the components which enable creating compliance sets. Having something standard out-of-the-box and being able to use that has been a huge benefit for us."

"SEEBURGER BIS increased our efficiency by at least 30 percent."

"SEEBURGER has helped us to enable digital business transformation. Every time we add a new customer, there is a digital footprint. This is no longer a manual process."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pros

Cons

"There are always issues when there are bugs or upgrades. The challenge with upgrading is getting more storage from the customer. Every time we have a new version, it requires additional storage. This means that the customer would need to procure more storage for their server, which they don't like because it means additional cost to them. So, I think my request would be that the version upgrades don't require any significant storage requirement."

"We have experienced some issues with stability due to bugs."

"In my experience, their technical support can be a little slow."

"We mainly had stability issues with kiteworks, where we were pushing the limits of its capability."

"The system is extremely stable, but because it is a "COTS" system access is restricted and you must use the solution's support to make even simple changes, which increases the downtime."

"We have experienced a few hiccups and bugs when using the admin console and from a user perspective."

"There is no offboarding process for end-users in Kiteworks. It's a manual process. There is no automated syncing with LDAP and checking to see if the account is still active. It's a manual process to get people out of here, which isn't the best way."

"It could be more stable. In the next release, it would be better if it was more stable with improved performance."

More Kiteworks cons

"The ability to bind a mapping to an agreement seems a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a better way of navigating to a map name rather than using a drop down list."

"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."

"Their traditional model is a vendor flow. We are looking to do a customer-based flow, which which require significant development from SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). We are working with them to do this using their WebEDI. It is a brand new area for them, but it could be an option in the future."

"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."

"That is the component that we definitely have the biggest issue with."

"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."

"Frontline support, or first-level support though, gets a rating of 4/10. Most of the time, they seem to be very bad at understanding the critical nature of an issue and they rarely manage to fulfill their own SLAs."

"The connectivity of the Data Distribution Center (DDC) and the repository need improvement."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Kiteworks is reasonable."

"The license management is changing and confusing. If I could make one change to it, it would be better license management through the API."

"The solution is very expensive because we are buying with Malaysian Ringgit and it's sold in US dollars."

"I believe it's a little costly, but given the faith that we put into it from a security perspective to maintain the integrity of our patient information that is being transferred through this system, that's a small price to pay. So, on the surface, it might look like a lot of money, but depending on the need for security, which is where we feel it shines, it's okay price-wise."

"They changed it midstream. We were being charged a certain flat rate for SFTP traffic. For whatever reason, at the beginning of the year, our pricing changed, and we are now being charged more for using a feature of the product than we were when we first bought it. That has been our experience with billing. It turned out to be more expensive than when we started with it."

"It is not really expensive. I mean, to me it's obviously expensive, but it's worth it."

"Sometimes it seems a little pricey, especially when some of the stuff is available through freeware, like SFTP communications... It costs a lot more money to buy this stuff from SEEBURGER but I think it's worth it in the long run."

"Pricing has always seemed fair."

"Pricing, compared to the tool that we had earlier, is cheaper."

"We pay per message we use. We spend about £19,000 a year with them."

"The cost-based model is slightly different now in SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). They changed the licensing, based on adapters and other things. In the old style of licensing, the whole suite was one license..."

"They need to be more competitively priced. When it comes to training, they need to lower their prices. It shouldn't be so specific. Maybe they should outsource training to another company. From what I can see, their training is pretty expensive, and they don't do anything for free."

"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."

"The cost of the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) can be considered high. We have elected to have SEEBURGER consulting do the installation. Licensing could also be considered high. However, one would be hard pressed to find another product that does all that this one does."
