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 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."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."

"It is simple to transfer files."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"It is a very stable product."

"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."

"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."

"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."

"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."

"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."

"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."

"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."

Cons

"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."

"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"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 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."

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

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

"The solution could be more scalable."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."

"For code version control, you need to use some external software."

"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."

"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."

"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"

"It could be more user-friendly."

"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

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

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"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 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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
