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.

Connects systems securely, simplifies data communication, and benefits from AI integration potential

I would like to see an AI project with BusinessWorks. I haven't worked with cloud architecture using BusinessWorks, so I would like to work with it as a cloud architect. I am still learning the documentation, so I don't have a complete experience with TIBCO. The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup is easy."

"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."

"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."

"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."

"Customer support is very efficient."

"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."

"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."

Cons

"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."

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

"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."

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

"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."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"The solution could be more scalable."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"Cloud fitness is lacking"

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

"Technical support is average. It's not the best."

"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."

"The solution’s customer support should be improved."

"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"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 fee for maintenance is costly."

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

"It's not an expensive solution."

"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."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."

"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."

"The product is not cheap."

"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
