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

"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."

"SAP Process Orchestration offers easy maintainability and is a very flexible tool that easily adapts to any integration standards and artifacts that are readily available."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

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

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."

"The solution's technical support is good."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"High throughput and excellent scalability."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."

"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."

"The developer portal is a valuable feature."

"It integrates well with various servers."

"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

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

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The solution could be more scalable."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"It could be more user-friendly."

"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."

"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."

"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."

"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."

"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."

More webMethods.io cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 fee for maintenance is costly."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

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

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

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

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"It is worth the cost."

"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 price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

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

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."
