Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"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 solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
