From the automation perspective, IBM B2B Integrator has its own powerful workflow, but compared to other applications such as MuleSoft or Boomi, they have many cloud connectors and multiple connectors for integrating with Salesforce or other CRM or ERP applications, whereas here you may have to develop them, which is not native.

Patching or upgrading the product is a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice if they removed the installation manager port. We find it complicates upgrading and patching a great deal.

IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly.

There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry.
