That is the most important criteria.""It is a stable solution.""The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems.""SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP.""t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution.""The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced.""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."

Cons
"The pricing can be improved.""Its queuing and messaging features need improvement.""Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex.

I would not recommend this for the cloud.""Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information.""The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users.""The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
