Efficient data integration reduces operational time and enhances metadata management
For the initial setup with AWS Glue, I find it easy to set up the data catalog and create Glue jobs using the visual editor or the visual code. Setting permission sets via IAM rules can be a bit tricky at the start, but we ensure Glue has access to AWS S3, Redshift, and other services. Once the role is configured, it runs smoothly. For advanced configurations, connecting to VPCs and setting up connections with JDBC sources takes more time compared to my cloud experience, but overall, for someone with cloud and ETL experience, the setup is manageable and well done.

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 solution’s most valuable feature is the ETL job."
"Data catalog and triggers are the two best features for me. AWS Glue has its own data catalog, which makes it great and really easy to use. Triggers are also really good for scheduling the ETL process."
"What I like best about AWS Glue is its real-time data backup feature. Last week, there was a production push, and what used to take almost ten days to send out around fifty-six thousand emails now takes only two hours."
"We have found it beneficial when moving data from one source to another."
"AWS Glue is very quick to start without cold starts, unlike AWS Lambda."
"We are seeing a very good return on our investment."
"Our entire use case was very easily handled or solved using this solution."
"The price is very good; it's enticing people to move to the cloud."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution makes it easy to solve integration problems."
"SAP is now one of the leaders in integration."
 

Cons

"It is very difficult to learn the tool and remember the syntaxes comparatively."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"The solution needs to expand its 30-minute query or runtime."
"AWS Glue should be more reliable and faster in processing. Enhancing the speed of data processing would be beneficial."
"There could be an enhanced way of managing pure metadata management or data cataloging."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"Sometimes, if there is a system-related issue where I have to contact SAP and raise an incident, it takes a couple of days to resolve the issue."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is good. We pay as we go or based on the usage, which is a good thing for us because it is simple to forecast for the tool. It is good in terms of the financial planning of the company, and it is a good way to estimate the cost. It is also simple for our clients. In my opinion, it is one of the best tools in the market for ETL processes because of the fact that you pay as you use, which separates it from other big tools such as PowerCenter, Pentaho Data Integration, and Talend."
"AWS Glue is quite costly, especially for small organizations."
"The pricing is a bit higher than other solutions like Athena and EC2. If the pricing becomes more scaled or flexible, it will be good because you have to pay 44 cents just for one DPU for an hour. If you increase DPUs to 5 or 10, the pricing gets multiplied. There are also some time limits like 0 to 10 minutes or 10 to 20 minutes. If the pricing is according to the minutes, it would be better because you have to limit your job to 10 minutes or 20 minutes."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"AWS Glue follows a pay-as-you-go model, wherein the cost of the data you use will be counted as a monthly bill."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"The current cost is around forty to fifty thousand a month."
"This solution is affordable and there is an option to pay for the solution based on your usage."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"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 license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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."
