"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"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 is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve.

"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
