Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

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

"This solution has many data sources; they connect to many, many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development, and by using all these automation features provided by Rivery together with integration to Snowflake, we were able to solve problems."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Anyone looking into using Rivery should know it is a great product."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast."
"The process of using Rivery has worked very smoothly for me, and I found the tool very easy to use, allowing me to gain a lot of insights."
"Someone who has to work on a PO should at least have a basic understanding of Java because as it is an integration tool, the way SAP provides to transform the messages from one structure to another is very good."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"The support from SAP Process Orchestration is very helpful."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
 

Cons

"As an end user of Rivery, I would like to see it be less commercial for users."
"I think lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
"Rivery can be improved by generally investing a bit more depth into the product, mainly in orchestration and specific features comparable to mature products."
"The key challenges I recall were related to the incremental merging logic, which was not functioning properly."
"I think Rivery could be improved by having more analytical features inside."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"It is scalable and it requires some maintenance."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"Sometimes, if there is a system-related issue where I have to contact SAP and raise an incident, it takes a couple of days to resolve the issue."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"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."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
