VARUNKUMAR - PeerSpot reviewer
Mgr Value Chain Integration/EDI at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees
Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines
The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.
Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"The solution is easy to implement."
"The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs to be better."
"Technical support isn't the greatest. The transparency is less than you sometimes need."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The company has come out with a new version, SAP Cloud Integrator, which is not as good as the older version."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"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."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"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."
