"Intuitive Platform, very easy to use, Needs Faster Bug Fixes"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

I really like the usability of the Lobster Data Platform, as well as the vast amount of functions and integration options it offers. The ease of use and scalability stand out to me. It's also notably easy to expand and copy existing data flows. The large scale of data flows the platform can handle is impressive, and many functions are crucial for us as a logistics company. The initial setup process was very easy, which was a big advantage since we were already familiar with handling lots of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

The speed at which known bugs are fixed could be faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Middleware solutions that really works"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

In just a few easy steps you can create an API without coding. Implementation API's was never that easy before. Nowadays use the software evryday to monitor all messages. Old integration are easy to import. When having some issues, the Customer support is helping you in a perfect way within a short time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

Once used , you dont want any other software, it's like an addiction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robin Braitmaier of Lobster Data Platform

Dear Robert, thank you for the great review.

Fantastic to hear you can spin up APIs in a few steps without code, monitor messages daily, and import legacy integrations easily — and that our support team is quick and helpful.

We’ll take “addictive” as a compliment!

Turning different broker messages into one standard format is exactly what the Lobster Data Platform is built for. If helpful, we can share best-practice mappings, validation rules, and monitoring templates — just reach out to your CSM.

"Streamlined Order Process, Excellent Support"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

I appreciate the support from Lobster Data Platform, especially how the setup and mappings were completed by Ediprim, which worked really well. I'm also looking forward to learning more about its functionalities at the event, and I'm interested in using more of its integration capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lobster as a central platform"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

Lobster Data has established itself as a central platform for us to efficiently and structurally manage data flows. I am particularly impressed by the user-friendly interface, which allows even complex processes to be clearly represented and easily configured – all without deep programming knowledge.

What I particularly appreciate about Lobster is the clear separation between technical details and business requirements. The platform allows interfaces and data formats to be designed flexibly and integrated seamlessly into existing systems. This not only saves time but also reduces the susceptibility to errors in daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

Despite the many advantages, I sometimes find it challenging to find the optimal way to implement an interface. Lobster offers many possibilities and high flexibility, but this can be overwhelming, especially at the beginning. There is occasionally a lack of clear best practices or concrete implementation recommendations, which means that one has to try out different approaches before finding the best solution.

Response from Tanja Lauenroth of Lobster Data Platform

Hi Sven, vielen Dank für dein Feedback.

Der Anspruch viele Möglichkeiten zur Lösung eines Problems zu bieten, bedeutet häufig auch zwischen mehreren Pfaden als dem einen Stand wählen zu können/müssen. Unser Academy & Learning Angebot erweitert sich kontinuierlich, da nehmen wir das gerne mit auf.

"Convenient, Friendly Profile Phase 3 with Easy Mapping"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

I like Phase 3 of the profile. It feels convenient and user-friendly, and the mapping can be done easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

The link from phase 3 to ASM is not so friendly. It still need enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lobster_data the future of Data Integration"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

Lobster_data is user-friendly and greatly simplifies data integration.

You can essentially build your entire business around it, thanks to the wide range of features and functions it offers. It enables users to work with virtually any type of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

If there's one thing I miss the most, it's the ability to fully customize the web interface.

Being able to move tiles around or change logos and icons according to individual preferences would be a great addition, but admittedly, that's complaining on a very high level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tanja Lauenroth of Lobster Data Platform

Hi Lahbib, thank you very much for your feedback. Have you ever worked with portals or our menu structure? Here you can customize the interface. If that doesn't help you further, feel free to submit your new idea or request here: https://www.lobster-world.com/de/product-roadmap/ In our Product Roadmap, you can also see what we are currently developing.

"EDI on equal footing – finally independent and fast"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

From the perspective of an IT professional in the EDI environment, what I like most about the Lobster_data Platform is:

- The true no-code logic: Complex data flows can be visually modeled—with loops, conditions, transformations—without having to drift into Java, XSLT, or Python. This saves an enormous amount of time.

- The stability in production: Once set up, EDI processes run smoothly—hardly any maintenance needed, no surprises.

- The transparent monitoring: Errors are clearly displayed, with details on the source and processing—much better than typical logfile searching.

- Flexibility with formats and channels: Whether EDIFACT, CSV, XML, JSON, or proprietary formats—everything can be processed, sent, or received, whether via SFTP, HTTP, mail, or API.

In short: It doesn't feel like a workaround, but like a well-thought-out solution that gives IT professionals real control over their integration processes—without vendor lock-in or agent confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

For beginners without technical background knowledge, it can be somewhat overwhelming at first despite the no-code approach – especially with topics like data mapping, loops, or asynchronous interfaces.

And the pricing structure – especially when going beyond the standard package – should be more transparent. Additional profiles and interfaces can quickly become costly as you grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tanja Lauenroth of Lobster Data Platform

Hi Matthias,

thank you very much for your feedback. With our new offering in the Learning sector, we are trying to support newcomers even better: https://academy.lobster-world.com/

A lot has also changed in pricing: moving away from individual bundles to a clear offering. Feel free to contact our sales team or get in touch here: https://www.lobster-world.com/de/kontakt/

"Great Tool for Diverse Data Platforms and Assets"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

Lobster has been a great tool for us in being able to connect and integrate a wide variety of different platforms. It has opened the door for in-house EDI, true B2B, various web and ERP integrations, and has helped us eliminate some manual repetitive task. It also has helped with data integrity as we can now use a single touchpoint and have that data sync across all of our platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

I am a US based user, and because of that support can be difficult with it being EU based. It can take an extended amount of time to resolve issues purely because of the time difference. However, their support staff is excellent. Secondly, while the platform is codeless, it does require a significant level of base knowledge of systems and communication protocols along with learning the intricacies of Lobster itself - it would not be highly accessible for non-tech people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robin Braitmaier of Lobster Data Platform

Thank you for your G2 review! Great to hear you’re using a single touchpoint to sync data across systems and reduce manual work—that’s exactly what the Lobster Data Platform is for.

On your points: we’re expanding US support coverage; in the meantime, scheduled support windows, clear handovers, and proactive asynchronous updates help. And yes, even codeless requires some baseline knowledge – we support with onboarding, training, best practices, and prebuilt connectors/templates, plus tailored enablement via your CSM.

Thanks for the shout-out to our support team. We look forward to continuing the partnership.

"Independence from external service providers gained through the use of Lobster_Data"
What do you like best about Lobster Data Platform?

We use the solution to electronically network with customers and business partners, for example via EDIFACT. Previously, we relied on external service providers for this, with each new connection representing a medium-sized project. Change requests were particularly cost and time-intensive.

In the meantime, we have become flexible in this regard thanks to Lobster_Data and can continuously expand our connections on our own. The intuitive low-code operation of Lobster_Data significantly supports us in this. If we ever get stuck, the Lobster support has always been able to help us competently so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lobster Data Platform?

In some places, the help is somewhat outdated or difficult to understand. More practical examples would also be desirable here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tanja Lauenroth of Lobster Data Platform

Thank you very much for the feedback. This is exactly what our Academy Team is working on, to continuously optimize and improve the training and support.
