Lobster_data Overview

What is Lobster_data?

With our middleware Lobster_data, you can communicate with everyone and everything. Using any format. Any channel. Any system. All through one single platform. In the template library, you will find almost all common industry standards such as EDIFACT, VDA, ANSI X12, IDoc, XML, JSON, etc. ready to connect through or via the communication channel of your choice. With numerous ways in and out of the system. From MongoDB, to AS2, AS4, FTP, HTTP, Kafka, MQTT, and many, many more. You have IT, we connect IT. Lobster_data also optimises your API management. Create, document and publish APIs – for departments, companies and your entire digital ecosystem! Lobster_data’s REST API capabilities connect you to a multitude of external systems. For example, in e-commerce (BigCommerce, Magento, Marketo, Plentymarkets, Shopify, Shopware) or with Enterprise Service Buses (Amazon SQS, Azure Service Bus, Oracle EBS, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service). Lastly, we offer over 14 different partner channels and connectivity options for your choice of relational, no-SQL or JDBC-driven database. Need to edit your data before it enters the data stream? We’ve got the tools for you: 11 different data splitters, 4 ways of merging your data and 12 distinct content inspection handlers mean you can streamline information in a myriad of ways. Integrations can be triggered by an event or at a certain time. Create the communication and map/manipulate the data – all in the same place. With no hidden extra requirements. If you would like to go one step further, we offer even higher functional depth with many additional modules, tailored to your needs. Like our ready-made connectors for SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dataverse, Amazon Marketplace, a Workflow Module for automating and orchestrating the most complex business processes and options for interacting with external end users.

What do you like best about Lobster_data?

It does it all. In EDI (Fashion) there are often examples to processes when files are being exchanged. Single customers need ERP specific identifiers or fields, different mappings or even combinations of different filetypes being generated and sent together.

Lobster really does it all, we haven't come into a situation where we haven't found a proper solution to resolve the requests through their interface and functions.

Excellent customer support and onboarding! Getting setup was very quick with the help of a dev on our end to get hosting and routing of emails to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster_data?

It takes time to master Lobster and really find the right ways to route and build things. The onboarding is really good and comprehensive, but figuring out how to design your profiels and route them in a scalable way can take time. That's to be expected with an 'it can do it all' type tool. It's quite amazing they kept it low-code still. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lobster_data solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build ETL tooling in-house. Ocassionally we might sell something that hasn't been built yet or we might run into a customer that asks for some data format that's never used or some other exception. We either onboard the first 20-30 customers on Lobster and then buidl our own tooling after that and migrate, or we just host these exceptions until they aren't the exception anymore and it requires internal tooling.

What do you like best about Lobster_data?

Everyone can use Lobster, you don't need to know any programming languages. The UI is intuitive and the documentation is well written. I would say that Lobster_data is one of the best softwares out there.

What do you dislike about Lobster_data?

What do you like best about Lobster_data?

For me, Lobster data is a great solution to connect different applications (from different countries) with our catalogue for car parts. With the help of Lobster we are connecting all kind of suppliers via API’s, webhooks or Lobster as part of our server. It’s all based on no-code and due to it’s cloud based solution it’s always available everywhere. Beside these points it’s also great for error logging and with the help of Lobsters technical consultant Yannick problems are always quickly fixed.

To summarize Lobster is a great application which we are using to connect to different suppliers. Every supplier can send and receive information within his own familiar file format and with the help of Lobster we can transform this data easily to our own formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster_data?

Biggest downside for Lobster from my perspective is that the customer is responsible for patches and updates. For AAG as a company it would be great if Lobster could cover this totally within the service contract. New updates and patches occur maybe once or twice a year, so in my opinion Lobster should cover this itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lobster_data solving and how is that benefiting you?

A lot of our suppliers are using quite old software. To stay connected with us, the Lobster data mapping is great.

We can receive any file format (XML, CSV Excel, JSON) and easily transform it into our own modern formats.

Lobster has also solved multiple problems we were facing by implementing Oauth 2.0 in our biggest application, so right now we are able to offer our customers a modern solution.

For our stock supplier, Lobster has created a server where every supplier has his own enviroment to update file as often as they would like. This issaving us a lot of time, because we can just hand over a Lobster endpoint, instead of making a manual connection with every supplier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
