Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing

For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Has robust data governance capabilities and efficient financial alerting features

The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated data governance team is responsible for setting policies and monitoring data access and usage. Additionally, we have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and an independent InfoSec team that work together to enforce these policies. This multi-layered approach ensures that data governance is effectively managed and compliant with all necessary regulations. It is integrated with SQL and Power BI servers for executive management dashboard reporting. This integration supports comprehensive data analysis and reporting needs, which was a key factor in our decision. The value of using vCenter lies in its comprehensive data infrastructure management. It significantly enhances our reporting, day-to-day decision-making, and analytics capabilities. Integrating SaaS with vCenter adds value by streamlining key functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The solution can be considered expensive, particularly due to infrastructure, maintenance, and ownership costs. The long-term savings and efficiencies gained from using vCenter can justify the investment for large organizations. However, the high costs might not be justifiable for smaller organizations with less data and fewer resources. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis based on the organization's specific needs and scale is recommended. I rate it an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."

"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."

"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."

"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 most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

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

"It is a scalable solution."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."

"The technical support is excellent."

"If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick."

"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."

"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."

"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."

"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."

"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."

More SAS Data Management pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"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 usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

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

"The solution could be more scalable."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."

"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."

"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."

"There is significant room for improvement, especially with regard to using a hybrid approach that involves both CAS and persistent storage."

"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."

"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."

"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."

"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."

More SAS Data Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"While it is even free for personal use on the cloud, it can be expensive for desktop installations and enterprise use."

"The licensing model for vCenter is a perpetual license with yearly payments."

"The tool is a bit expensive."
