"The product is very user-friendly.""The most valuable feature is real-time streaming.""The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like.""There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."

Cons
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes.""Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use.""The solution could be more scalable.""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.""Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication.""The older version of the solution will no longer be supported.""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."

More SAP Process Orchestration Cons →

"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications.""Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving.""The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation.""On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
