Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
More SAP Process Orchestration pros
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"The stability is good."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
More webMethods.io pros
 

Cons

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
More SAP Process Orchestration cons
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
More webMethods.io cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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 cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice
"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
"Its cost depends on the use cases."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
