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.

Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"SAP is the best solution for them to integrate with many other third-party systems or other VRP systems."
"The support from SAP Process Orchestration is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"Almost all of our data transformation process and file extract process goes through SnapLogic, and we have a ton of our infrastructure set up in there and I would say it is extremely important for our processes."
"As I mentioned, we evaluated MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, and SnapLogic, and on top of that, we recently evaluated one technology called Pentaho for an integration platform; however, we found that SnapLogic is the best option currently on the market, so we have gone with it."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"SnapLogic is a robust, scalable, and user-friendly platform that has helped us to reduce development time, automate many business processes, and support enterprise growth, especially with low-code, no-code capabilities and broader connector options, more than 600."
"My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days."
"With SnapLogic, you can cut down the delivery times and send high volumes."
"SnapLogic positively impacts my organization, mainly in three areas: speed, system reliability, and maintainability."
 

Cons

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for organizations that are primarily cloud-based."
"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."
"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 solution isn't meant to scale when high-volume transactions are in play; the scalability could improve."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"That said, while the SnapLogic technical managers are very good, the support model isn't great and should improve."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
"There is room for improvement of API management and the dashboard for task execution."
"If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The pricing is okay."
"I used the free trial."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
