Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration vs SAP Process Orchestration comparison

"The product is robust."

"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."

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

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

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

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

"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 solution's technical support is good."

"It is a scalable solution."

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

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

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

"It requires some maintenance."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

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

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

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

"The product is not expensive."

"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 solution is highly-priced."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

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

"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 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."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"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."
