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.

Cons

"The price for SAP Process Orchestration is a little high when compared to market trends, which is just how the business is."

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

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

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"The main issue is that these products, which evolved from Process Integration to SAP Process Orchestration, will be replaced and will have no support in the future."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical; only the consultants that have technical skills or development skills are able to manage this product."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."

"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features."

"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."

"Another consideration is real-time processing needs. If this is a requirement then I would recommend against using this solution, unless the next version has a new set of features specifically for real-time processing."

"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."

"Again it failed a lot and by a lot I mean every day. The failures were false alarms and caused many sleepless night for our company that I used to work for."

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

"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not an expensive solution."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

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

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

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

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