Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi

Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Enables effective batch loading with visual interface and enterprise support

One issue I observed with StreamSets is that the memory runs out quickly when processing large volumes of data. Because of this memory issue, we have to upgrade our EC2 boxes in the Amazon AWS infrastructure. I had to switch to a new EC2 box, even though the processor was not fully utilized. It would be beneficial if StreamSets addressed any potential memory leak issues to prevent unnecessary upgrades. Additionally, it would be a great enhancement if StreamSets could produce a lineage graph to visualize how the data has passed through the system.

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 solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."

"SAP is now one of the leaders in integration."

"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."

"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."

"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."

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The best thing about StreamSets is its plugins, which are very useful and work well with almost every data source. It's also easy to use, especially if you're comfortable with SQL. You can customize it to do what you need. Many other tools have started to use features similar to those introduced by StreamSets, like automated workflows that are easy to set up."

"The ETL capabilities are very useful for us. We extract and transform data from multiple data sources, into a single, consistent data store, and then we put it in our systems. We typically use it to connect our Apache Kafka with data lakes. That process is smooth and saves us a lot of time in our production systems."

"It has helped us in moving into the data analytics world at a faster pace than any other tool would have done."

"Also, the intuitive canvas for designing all the streams in the pipeline, along with the simplicity of the entire product are very big pluses for me. The software is very simple and straightforward. That is something that is needed right now."

"The most valuable features are the option of integration with a variety of protocols, languages, and origins."

"The most valuable feature is the pipelines because they enable us to pull in and push out data from different sources and to manipulate and clean things up within them."

"The best feature that I really like is the integration."

"StreamSets is the leader in the market."

More StreamSets pros

Cons

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

"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."

"The company has come out with a new version, SAP Cloud Integrator, which is not as good as the older version."

"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."

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

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"It is scalable and it requires some maintenance."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"StreamSet works great for batch processing but we are looking for something that is more real-time. We need latency in numbers below milliseconds."

"The documentation is inadequate and has room for improvement because the technical support does not regularly update their documentation or the knowledge base."

"The design experience is the bane of our existence because their documentation is not the best. Even when they update their software, they don't publish the best information on how to update and change your pipeline configuration to make it conform to current best practices. We don't pay for the added support. We use the "freeware version." The user community, as well as the documentation they provide for the standard user, are difficult, at best."

"The monitoring visualization is not that user-friendly. It should include other features to visualize things, like how many records were streamed from a source to a destination on a particular date."

"They need to improve their customer care services. Sometimes it has taken more than 48 hours to resolve an issue. That should be reduced. They are aware of small or generic issues, but not the more technical or deep issues. For those, they require some time, generally 48 to 72 hours to respond. That should be improved."

"One area for improvement could be the cloud storage server speed, as we have faced some latency issues here and there."

"I would like to see it integrate with other kinds of platforms, other than Java. We're going to have a lot of applications using .NET and other languages or frameworks. StreamSets is very helpful for the old Java platform but it's hard to integrate with the other platforms and frameworks."

"Sometimes, it is not clear at first how to set up nodes. A site with an explanation of how each node works would be very helpful."

More StreamSets cons

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."

"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."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"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."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"I believe the pricing is not equitable."

"The licensing is expensive, and there are other costs involved too. I know from using the software that you have to buy new features whenever there are new updates, which I don't really like. But initially, it was very good."

"StreamSets Data Collector is open source. One can utilize the StreamSets Data Collector, but the Control Hub is the main repository where all the jobs are present. Everything happens in Control Hub."

"The overall cost is very flexible so it is not a burden for our organization... However, the cost should be improved. For small and mid-size organizations it might be a challenge."

"Its pricing is pretty much up to the mark. For smaller enterprises, it could be a big price to pay at the initial stage of operations, but the moment you have the Seed B or Seed C funding and you want to scale up your operations and aren't much worried about the funds, at that point in time, you would need a solution that could be scaled."

"There are two editions, Professional and Enterprise, and there is a free trial. We're using the Professional edition and it is competitively priced."

"It's not so favorable for small companies."

"It has a CPU core-based licensing, which works for us and is quite good."
