Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi

Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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

"PowerExchange is one of the best software solutions to build integrations with non-Oracle or standard database services, especially for SAP and Hana products."

"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."

"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."

"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."

"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."

"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."

"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."

More Informatica PowerExchange [EOL] pros

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"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 is easy to use."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."

"It is simple to transfer files."

Cons

"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."

"I have minimal exposure to PowerExchange at this point."

"The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk."

"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."

"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."

"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."

"The solution needs better integration with other tools."

More Informatica PowerExchange [EOL] cons

"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."

"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."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

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

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"An annual package license fee is required."

"There are licensing and connector costs. Basically, Informatica is pay-as-you-use."

"The product is not very expensive."

"Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."

"There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."

"The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."

"It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."

"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 pricing for this solution is fine."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

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

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

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

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

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