Data transfer improvements with an easy setup and responsive support
There are other products of Aspera which come as add-ons, however, we haven't purchased those, like report generation, since that was not our requirement. The features we needed were included in the basic edition, and that works for us. If there is any failure in the data transfer and it can automatically detect and reinitiate it, that would be great.

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

"The main feature of Aspera Managed File Transfer is that it's an incredibly fast protocol, you can use all the bandwidth available. If I need to send large amounts of data this is the fastest protocol on the market. I have been using it for some minor projects and it is very powerful."
"Aspera Managed File Transfer is an optimal solution for customers who want to transfer large files to remote sites with lower bandwidth and in less time."
"I would say that the user interface was a good feature, and the ability to set up multiple file transfer jobs was also an asset."
"We were able to effectively nullify the China firewall since the China firewall was disrupting our data transfer."
"When orders come in they go into our ERP system directly, so there is integration there."
"We rarely get hanged processes."
"Mapping Designer provides excellent flexibility."
"It seems to be a very powerful mapping tool and we haven't found that it can't do what we need it to do in the EDI world, and that world is quite daunting when you think of all these customers, these OEMs, with legacy systems that have unique requirements."
"Technical support has always been great."
"What would have been a manual process of transmitting data items around between us and third-parties has been automated. SEEBURGER BIS handles the automation and mapping side of the communications. The automation, along with the efficiency around time and cost, has improved our organization. Around 20,000 messages a month have been automated. These typically would be financial/order transactions and confirmations in invoicing that have been automated."
"SEEBURGER BIS increased our efficiency by at least 30 percent."
"For the first time, we can start doing things the same way, which means I can have customer service in one facility support customer service in the second facility, and when the next plant came on we were just able to say in SAP, "Here are some new ship-to's" without having to start re-testing with the customer, which saved a ton of work and made our reaction time 50 percent faster from our American plant."
 

Cons

"Deployment of the product is somewhat complex and it was also difficult to get support, very difficult to get support."
"If there is any failure in the data transfer and it can automatically detect and reinitiate it, that would be great."
"The solution's pricing is high and should be reduced."
"If you want to do a file transfer between two countries, and one is not China, then you have other more affordable options."
"Aspera Managed File Transfer is not an inexpensive solution."
"Aspera Managed File Transfer should be packaged into another solution. Explaining to customers you need to have multiple solutions from multiple vendors for their use cases can get complicated for them to understand."
"The initial set up was done by SEEBURGER consulting. It can be complex due to various factors, such as server settings, database settings, and security settings."
"I find the solution quite confusing to use, especially when looking at the tree structure."
"It's rather difficult to understand, from the application, what's broken and why it doesn't work. We typically need to get support from them directly, and it's usually in a consulting role, to fix issues."
"Their technical support is okay. It doesn't blow you away."
"There are a lot of service packs during the year. I know that part is the process for updating features, but sometimes it's difficult to update service packs every month."
"We use a SQL database and believe they can do better when it comes working with large databases."
"A person whom I work with, and is not very technical, found the setup complex, as there are a lot of steps."
"We've lost a little bit of that personalization — someone who might know our business more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aspera Managed File Transfer is not an inexpensive solution. I am not aware of many competitors to determine how affordable the price is overall."
"It was close to $10,000 to $20,000."
"On an annual basis, our support costs, which are based on the licensing, are about £120,000."
"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"Pricing, compared to the tool that we had earlier, is cheaper."
"There is a standard agreement for the messaging every month. But if we make a change request — a change to a mapping or something like that — then there is a fixed price per hour."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."
"Price and licensing are comparable to other systems. It's well-priced and simple. It's not user-based or anything. It's just per seat, per system. So, it's pretty straight forward. Because it's per system, one system is enough. However, if you want to make it larger, then you can grow with it."
