Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi

Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Yashraj Makwana

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements

Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

"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 most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."

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

"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"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."

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."

"The product is powerful, straightforward, and easy to use."

"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."

"It integrates well with various servers."

"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a stable solution."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."

"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."

"When it comes to scaling, it requires more RAM and more machines."

"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"

"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."

More webMethods.io cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

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

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."

"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."

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

"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."
