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.

User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead

Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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 provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."

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

"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."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The solution is stable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The performance is good."

"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."

"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."

"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."

"Stability is rated at 10."

"It is easy to set up the product."

"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."

"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

"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."

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

"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."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."

"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."

"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."

"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."

"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."

"There's no support for it at all. If you haven't undergone the qualifications, you wouldn't even know you should phone someone."

"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"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."

"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 solution is highly-priced."

"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."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
