open source - What are some viable alternatives to BizTalk Server? -

-

in evaluating different systems integration strategies, i've come across words of encouragement, words of frustration on biztalk server.

what pros , cons using biztalk server (both developer standpoint , business user), , should companies consider open source alternatives? viable alternatives out there?

edit: jitterbit seems interesting choice. open source , seems nicely engineered. on here have experience working it?

biztalk server's key benefit provides lot of 'plumbing' around deployment, management, performance, , scalability. through visual studio, provides comprehensive framework developing solutions, relatively little code.

the frustration , steep learning curve others mention comes using biztalk wrong purpose , misunderstanding how work biztalk , message-oriented systems in general. learning curve not steep people suggest - essential part of underlying learning focuses on changing thinking procedural approach stateless message-based approach.

a drawback people cite cost. sticker price can seem quite high; however, cheap in comparison amount you'd spend on developing , supporting features on own.

before consider alternatives, or consider biztalk server, should consider organization's approach integration , it's long term goals. biztalk server great in cases want integrate systems using hub , spoke model biztalk orchestrates activities of many applications.

there other integration models - 1 of more popular ones distributed bus (don't confuse term "enterprise service bus" or esb). can biztalk work distributed bus , there alternative solutions provide more direct support. 1 of alternate solutions open source solution called nservicebus.

when considering whether use commercial product biztalk, verses else (open source or developed in house), consider maintenance , enhancements , availability of necessary skill-set in marketplace.

i wrote articles go more detail points discussed here - here links:
