Simplified, Standardised Biztalk Admin
What do you like best?
It's simple to configure / manage and creates a great platform to adminster BizTalk from.
Granular access control allows Business Teams to see information important to them, without excessive priviledge.
All whilst creating audit records for them to be reviewed at a later date.
Monitoring/Alarms and alerts allows great early indicators of pending issues.
Colour coding environments allows easy reminders of which Environment you're operating in.
What do you dislike?
My biggest 'pet hate' is the pricing of non-production. Whilst cheaper, a much lower or 'free' license model would be very welcome.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Whilst it takes a little time to get used to it - like any product, it simplifies admin tasks and allows safe access to less technical and Business users to self-serve.
Alerts/Monitoring make it really easy to keep ahead of serious issues.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Admin from one place/web instead of multi-tooling on the servers.
Using monitors/alarms to continuously watch the system and alert of issues before they present problems.
