More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Pros →

"It is a scalable solution.""The solution is stable.""t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution.""The initial setup was straightforward.""It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business.""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.""The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable.""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."

Cons
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing.""This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight.""Their technical support needs improvement."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Cons →

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO.""The solution needs to move to the cloud.""The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved.""The solution could be more scalable.""Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information.""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.""This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions.""We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
