We do not get much of solutions in internet and mapforce blogs. We have to deep dive in sometimes. And the tools generates code in Java. Once mapping is done, based on the complexity it gets hard for identifying the nodes in the diagram. Has to provide much more ways to solve. Can provide guides using Video format over text. Its more easy for people to follow Video or animation over reading a full page or PDF. The tool as well needs support for character encodings.

I have been using Altova MapForce since 6 years. It is very easy to use and customize as well. No need to write any code. Drag and Drop anyone can understand. Since it is built in java we can write some user-defined functions in java and plug in to this MapForce tool.

There are lot of in-built functions. EDI packages also available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If we have more number of fields and there is some logic to be applied then the UI screen looks messy. It will be good to have a search button to find out particular function in the large mapping rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Altova Mapforce has various builtin functions which make your life easier.

The drag and map functions is the best part of the tool. Talking about how we use it, it makes testing very easy for us as the mapper can access our cross-ref tables also.

I have worked on a lot of mapping tools earlier, but never have I came across a tool which can use the cross-ref tables in the desktop testing.

One always has to go into a testing environment or production where he/she can actually see the tables working.

Another important aspect is the help file. One of the best helps for any tool. It has helped me a lot as well as my customers. The help covers all questions.

Making the X12 config files accessible is also an added advantage that Altova has put in.

I can create another group of X12 files from these files as per my need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only shortcoming which I found is the aesthetic. The mapping lines in the screen sometimes make it quite confusing to find the source and destination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The generated xslt was just accurate and perfect . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as we used for our project related work and it just helped much for the the transformation from other language to new one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When i used this tool , i was so excited in seeing mapping and its results based on the mapping.

It identifies error , if we did while mapping..Like , we can't vomit mandatory fields in case of EDI

In excel mapping , we can use user friendly column Names and creating columns at the end during the mapping.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It identifies error but doesn't describe the error .When I was a beginner, I felt hard to identify it.Now i can easily trace out it.

In excel mapping , we can add columns at the mid.If we add a column @ mid , then need to modify all the column number from proceeding column to till last column Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
