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.

Foolproof stability and robust system

SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

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 easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."

"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 most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

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

"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

Cons

"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 requires some maintenance."

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

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

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

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

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

"It's not an expensive solution."

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

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"It's a very expensive solution."

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
