Find out in this report how the two Business-to-Business Middleware solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
