Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
 

Cons

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"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."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"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 fee for maintenance is costly."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
