Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration vs SAP Process Orchestration comparison

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"The product is robust."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."

"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."

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"It is simple to transfer files."

"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 monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"The initial setup is easy."

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

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

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

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

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

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

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

"The solution could be more scalable."

"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."

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

"It requires some maintenance."

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."

"The product is not expensive."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

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

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

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"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 solution is highly-priced."
