Improves disaster recovery processes and offers an efficient CPU cycle optimization

Using BMC Data Management for IMS and DB2 on z/OS has greatly improved our database administration tasks. Although we don't test the database before production, we have experienced benefits in disaster recovery situations and capacity management. For instance, when facing capacity issues during peak transaction times, I've been able to quickly allocate additional resources to ensure smooth operations. This has been crucial, especially during times when the demand surges, such as peak flight hours.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."

"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

"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."

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

"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."

"It is a scalable 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 monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"The solution is easy to use."

Cons

"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."

"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

"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

Information not available

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

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

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

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"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."
