"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.""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.""The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life.""It requires some maintenance.""The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved.""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.""Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information.""The solution needs to move to the cloud."
