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

"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
 

Cons

"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"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."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It requires some maintenance."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"It is an expensive platform."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ 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 solution is highly-priced."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is 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."
