Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Selim Seddiki - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

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."
"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."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
 

Cons

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"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."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"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."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"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."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"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."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The tool is cheap."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
