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.

Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process

There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.

Cons

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 It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

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

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."

"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."

"Performance and speed could be improved."

"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."

"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."

"They lack in memory capacity."

"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

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

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"License renewal is on a yearly basis."

"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."

"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."
