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.

Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax
One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

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 most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution is stable."
"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."

Cons

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

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."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"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."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."
"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."
"One area for improvement is the installation process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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