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 very easy to use."

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

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

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."

"SAP Process Orchestration is quite flexible in supporting various integration standards and protocols, and it's fulfilling all our needs."

"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

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

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"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."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

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

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

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

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"The product is not expensive."

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

"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 cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"The solution is highly-priced."

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

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."

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

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
