Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 27, 2025

SEEBURGER BIS and SAP Process Orchestration compete in the integration and EDI market. SEEBURGER BIS seems to have the upper hand in flexibility, handling of large data volumes, and seamless integration capabilities, particularly with SAP systems, giving it a competitive edge.

Features: SEEBURGER BIS provides comprehensive flexibility, strong EDI capabilities, and powerful mapping tools, making it adaptable to different protocols and platforms. It is also designed for high uptime with features like Active-Active configurations. SAP Process Orchestration focuses on seamless SAP integration, and robust monitoring tools, although it lacks the flexibility found in SEEBURGER BIS.

Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER BIS could improve its monitoring and error-tracking features and simplify its integration model. It also receives frequent updates, which users find onerous. SAP Process Orchestration needs better cloud compatibility, a simplified architecture, and more proactive support for new industry trends.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SEEBURGER BIS is primarily on-premises with some public cloud options, receiving mixed reviews on support. Initial deployments are standard, but improvements are needed in ticket handling and consistency. SAP Process Orchestration offers on-premises, private, and hybrid cloud options and relies on standardized processes, necessitating enhanced support for global deployments as the demand for cloud capabilities increases.

Pricing and ROI: SEEBURGER BIS offers competitive pricing, yet it may be seen as high due to its extensive features. The ROI is realized in automation and efficiency gains, but there's room for cost improvements, especially with modular pricing. SAP Process Orchestration has a one-time licensing fee but pricing for additional modules can add up. It offers significant ROI through operational efficiencies and cost savings, especially for users with substantial SAP landscapes.

Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support

SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Exceptional support and reliability drive optimal data flow and integration

The features of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite that I found most valuable are related to entity flow. We can find the entity flow to be very useful so we can grab the flow accordingly. There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues. When comparing to other applications, SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is the easiest way to understand the application. I have also worked on the cloud services where SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is moving to cloud. I have worked on cloud services where the mapping part is in the cloud itself, along with the connection setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."

"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"One of the things that SEEBURGER always touts is their ability to do "any to any" formatting... it doesn't matter if you want to take a CSV file or an XML file or a flat file or a PDF file or a structure EDI file; you can transform it from one format to another - any to any or even to the same format - which is a really nice feature."

"SEEBURGER has helped us to enable digital business transformation. Every time we add a new customer, there is a digital footprint. This is no longer a manual process."

"I like that the tool has all the adapters — all the possible protocols that are in the industry. You pay for those adapters but at least it's all in one package. You don't have to get another tool or application to support another partner."

"We rarely get hanged processes."

"We can use it to script and monitor processes."

"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."

"The ease of integration of the SEEBURGER product into SAP was pretty seamless. There wasn't any trouble, there weren't any complexities."

"The product has the ability to handle high volumes of data efficiently."

More SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite pros

Cons

"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."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

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

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

"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."

"It requires some maintenance."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"We are a little locked in with understanding the errors that we receive. We are working with their support to prevent these issues when they come into the database. We use a SQL database and believe they can do better when it comes working with large databases. We have had few instances where the system is hanging, which are most likely from the database. We are working with their support to find out the problem and fix their system. We have tried to use their notification system to prevent these issues, but they need to improve their monitoring system."

"I would've liked, from day one, to learn how to do my own mapping. That would have saved a lot of time and effort if that had been brought forward earlier. It's there, I just didn't know about it. Also, some tidier, easier-to-use interfaces would help."

"I would like there to be a feature that could handle the limited server."

"All the topics we've identified have been placed on the SEEBURGER roadmap already... Among the things we have requested are improvements in the user interface and improvements that would be implemented by completely new modules or improvements in their Cloud Services."

"The documentation can be improved."

"They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see."

"The speed of development needs improvement. If you acquire any customization, it can be a slightly slow process. I would like to see more flexibility around customizations. The time frame right now depends on the sophistication and customization, but we have to go through a process of getting them to develop, implement, and test it. This might take a couple of weeks. If it was a simpler system to customize, the time could probably be cut by half or down by even 25 percent of what it would normally take."

"Some of the functionality for retriggering documents, where you have to step through a termination process and then retrigger it, versus just being able to restart or retrigger more easily, is a bit challenging, depending on the scenario."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution is highly-priced."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"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 pricing for this solution is fine."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The pricing and licensing is very competitive."

"Pricing has always seemed fair."

"I had a problem at one time with their invoicing. I told them, then we worked on the process and improved it. They installed the connection between SAP and SEEBURGER BIS in Europe first. This was awhile ago. When I came along, I became involved in the project and started working with them. Every time that I made a request, the work was done well, but I was not receiving my invoices. I knew I had to pay for the work and was trying to find someone to send me the invoices or a report of what was being done. From that end, it was really not working. After a few years, I was complaining and not happy. At the end of the year, they would come with a long list of invoices to pay, which was really bad. So, I asked for a change. We worked on the process, and since five years ago, I have worked with SEEBURGER based in North America. Now, when I have a question, I know who to contact. They send me a report with invoices every month. They really reacted to my concern, and we improved the process. Since then, I have had no problem."

"All the new adapters are individually priced, which is good. You don't buy the whole system and then if you don't use it, you don't use it. You only buy the stuff you want..."

"I find the pricing expensive. But I know that when we evaluated another company, it was about the same. That just seems to be the market. It's probably not expensive overall."

"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."

"Our licensing model is based on transactions. We have a base service contract which is priced against a volume of transactions and another volume of individual transactions, which are covered by one service agreement. Then, we have development services on top of that. Our annual spend is around £80,000. It's about mid-priced, as there are some cheaper alternatives out there and some more expensive ones. It's neither cheap nor expensive. It's somewhere in the middle."

"There is a standard agreement for the messaging every month. But if we make a change request — a change to a mapping or something like that — then there is a fixed price per hour."
