My experience is with BizTalk 2006.
As someone here said, it gives you very fine control over the process - approvals, routing, you name it. That is the good side.
The bad side is that the development tools were a PITA to work with. This may have improved in later editions.
My takeaway - very powerful, but the tools could use improvement.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Thanks both.
It certainly looks like there have been a fair few changes in the 2010 and 2013 versions but whether or not they change the general experience, I don't know.
I suppose ease of use and fine-tuneability are always going to be the big trade-off with this kind of package and what may be a godsend for one task might well be a complete burden for the next. I would hope that the tools would have undergone a fair bit of improvement (not that I know for sure that the supplier isn't still using 2006).

My only experience is a decade old but we chucked it out as it was too slow transforming the volumes we were trying to push through.
It was almost certainly caused by the developers, complete lack of knowledge of the product and short time frame.
the 3rd party also used XML as the transport format - for multi millions of records.
Built as CSV parser and chewed through the transforms using stored procs.

It's certainly handy if you run out of bog roll or want something for the guinea pig to defecate on.

Good thing you are not using your real name here. Linking to Daily Mail could have seriously affected the quality of your life, otherwise!

Sorry, the Mail is classic reading! Its is like a comic, and its free!

For most Facebook users an intelligence of just a little more than an amoeba qualifies as a high IQ.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Because this thing on facebook was reported by The Daily Fail (LOL, see what I did there?) that means it is automatically untrue, so the post must have been fabricated by The Daily Fail in some way, and so must have been all of the replies. It's the only possible explanation because everything in The Daily Fail is untrue. I'm going to wait until the BBC writes about the exact same thing because that will instantly make it credible and true. Yes I know I haven't actually said anything about the quiz itself, but being a lefty liberal puppet allows me to apply ad hominem fallacies to things I disagree with and instantly dismiss the article and instead criticise your failings as a human being for posting a Daily Fail link (lol, see what I did there!)

Eh, it took me about ten seconds (The third part held me up for a few)...
In my defense, it's 9am, I just got into the office, and I'm not caffeinated yet.

x+- Far too simple.
But tough for fb users and mail readers.

The test wasn't about whether or not you can answer the question correctly; it's about whether or not you can be humble afterward.

(Microsoft Rant Of The Day)
So when changing colors of a bar or chart or whatever in SSRS, when you set the „Transparency“ of the color in the dialog, you’re really setting the OPACITY. I just spent a half hour wondering why every time I set a color in my report the damn element disappeared. And I hate working with reports, so that’s a half hour I want back, dammit…

CONTINENCE?

Correct, Sir! The originator is up on Monday.
That was fast, too easy?
Maybe you could provide the explanation for the others anyway?
I'm still puzzled that this went to moderation...
|

There's no intemperance needed Intemperance: "lack of moderation or restraint", so use it's inverse.
when you sound like all the landmasses CONTINENTS becomes CONTINENCE: "Sexual abstinence as a state of life"

That's interesting given that INcontinence means someting entirely different and not at all related. Engrish so funny!
(purses lips) I wonder though... (googles)
Actually, I'm wrong!

So the original meaning of the word was to do with sexual appetite. There you go, you learn sometihng new every day.
