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.

The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible

I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

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

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"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."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."

"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

"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."

"The solution could be more scalable."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"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."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

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

"It's not an expensive solution."

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

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."

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

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."

"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."

Overview

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies. SAP PI is based on general standards so as to enable 3rd-party systems to be integrated. At the center of SAP PI is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). Irrespective of the scenario used, the application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML eXtensible Markup Language) from the sender to the receiver either via the Integration Server, or directly between the systems involved. SAP PI can be installed in different ways: Dual usage type installation: Based on both AS ABAP and AS Java. and Advanced Adapter Engine Extended (AEX): Based on AS Java only.

SAP

SAS/ACCESS is an out-of-the-box solution for integrating SAS and third-party databases. You can read, write and update data regardless of the database or platform. Because the data appears native to SAS, there is no need to learn Structured Query Language (SQL) or any other database-specific query languages.
