Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades
One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The tool helps to transform traffic without performance issues
We use the solution to tap and transform traffic.  The tool's performance doesn't get affected by transformation loads. You can write any number of rules, filtering criteria, transformations, etc.  SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite does not have an end user or subscriber console which can show…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"It can scale."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"It has a lot of basic EDI already established for all the main users. Also, it lets me share setups that I had already set up for my first plant. I was able to use them for my second one which was very helpful. I didn't have to start from scratch for my second facility."
"The solution is flexible when it comes to adding integrations. It is much easier to use than the other tools we have to move the files. Across the board, we can move files in a short amount of time compared to our other existing tools."
"We rarely get hanged processes."
"The solution's capabilities in fulfilling our existing B2B integration requirements are brilliant. Among our multiple customers we connect to SAP systems, JDE, all the various ERPs that you can possibly get, Oracle procurement systems, etc. We haven't come across anything yet — and customers are trying to trip us up — that we can't do."
"It's the reliability. And the message tracking is quite good, where we can go in and see if we have an issue."
"We had a requirement for transferring data to Amazon S3 buckets but we did not have a solution in our shop for large data transfers to Amazon S3. We worked with SEEBURGER and created a framework solution and now, using that solution, we can configure the transfer in an hour or two and enable it to go to existing or new S3 buckets."
"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."
"Mapping Designer provides excellent flexibility."
 

Cons

"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"It requires some maintenance."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"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."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"I don't think the scalability of the solution is that great because they have tied the solution to their named nodes and it does not allow scalability like some of the cloud products allow."
"They have their own private cloud. That's the reason we did not go ahead with managing everything by ourselves or moving into the cloud. They said that they're going to be doing it within the next two years, having access to Azure and AWS. That would be something we would like to see."
"All the topics we've identified have been placed on the SEEBURGER roadmap already... Among the things we have requested are improvements in the user interface and improvements that would be implemented by completely new modules or improvements in their Cloud Services."
"The BIS Front End needs a little bit of refreshing, especially when it comes to setting up new trading partners and trading partner agreements or transactions. It can be a bit clumsy to copy and rename and then go in and modify."
"There might be some improvements they could make to the portal, but they're not anything that stops me from working."
"There are some aspects at the front, the actual queries that you use, that could be improved. They're all very minor to be honest."
"The integration is not so excellent. While I'm not saying there is a problem, there is no pattern. When we start a new project, we have to work with new people and processes every time. The technical side of their system is very good, but their change process is not repeatable. It needs to be rebuilt each time."
"The product is not integrated very well with different cloud providers. We did work with the vendor to build a solution for Amazon, but there is no solution for other cloud providers like Google or Azure. The vendor needs to create adapters so that if we have a requirement to transfer data from our data center to another cloud, outside of Amazon, we would be delighted with that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"The solution has a high price."
"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"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."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"Pricing has always seemed fair."
"I've heard that the solution is cheaper when compared to other products in the market."
"All the new adapters are individually priced, which is good. You don't buy the whole system and then if you don't use it, you don't use it. You only buy the stuff you want..."
"We pay maintenance of between $75,000 and $100,000 per year, per box."
"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"The only thing that would be an improvement would be if they had a cost model whereby you could just pay for what you're actually using. Even if it were a minimum monthly charge that they offered, if you're not utilizing all of that then they should consider a lower tier. That way, they could attract more business."
"Our licensing model is based on transactions. We have a base service contract which is priced against a volume of transactions and another volume of individual transactions, which are covered by one service agreement. Then, we have development services on top of that. Our annual spend is around £80,000. It's about mid-priced, as there are some cheaper alternatives out there and some more expensive ones. It's neither cheap nor expensive. It's somewhere in the middle."
