User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking

There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

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

"Transformation Manager is the backbone of every data pipeline these days because the solution has been on the market for 20 to 30 years, and we use it for various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc."

"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."

"It is among the best, even if not widely known."

"It is a reliable solution."

"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."

"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's technical support is good."

"It is simple to transfer files."

"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location."

"Someone who has to work on a PO should at least have a basic understanding of Java because as it is an integration tool, the way SAP provides to transform the messages from one structure to another is very good."

Cons

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

"We get decent support. It's okay but not great."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"The price for SAP Process Orchestration is a little high when compared to market trends, which is just how the business is."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for organizations that are primarily cloud-based."

"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."

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"It's not an expensive solution."

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

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"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."

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
