Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

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 iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The valuable feature is that we can automate the integration part...It is a stable solution."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"We are able to set rules, establish a data quality management platform, and monitor the quality."
"Its data cleansing capabilities are very valuable. The match and merge and the audit trail functionalities are very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"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."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
 

Cons

"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"Informatica MDM can improve the data catalog and data marketplace."
"The configuration process is pretty lengthy and challenging and could be made easier to understand."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a two out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy."
"The product is not too user-friendly to do the configurations."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"The cloud version of Axon is far behind the on-prem, and many of my clients want to go fully to the cloud. However, Axon has to be an on-prem installation. I would like to see their cloud products catch up with their on-prem capabilities."
"Database access is highly restricted particularly if you're using the cloud version."
"The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"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 could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"The product has a high price point."
"The price is high, but the competitors are even higher, like Collibra."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"So, there are plans for licensing. There are subscription-based and usage-based licenses. Also, there are licenses for exceptional analytics, etc. In short, there are different models of licensing for every enterprise."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"The product is not very pocket-friendly for small and medium-sized businesses, and it is understandable because of the kind of features the tool gives."
"It's a costly solution"
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"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 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 license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
