Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration vs SAP Process Orchestration comparison

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"The product is robust."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."

"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"The solution could be more scalable."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."

"The product is not expensive."

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."
