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.

User benefits from reliable support and seamless orchestration capabilities

The best features of TIBCO BusinessWorks compared to other products are that it is a roadmap product. The company has proper support. We have similar products in the market, including open source options, but they don't have any support beyond community feedback. TIBCO BusinessWorks is a standard product widely used by many companies. It is more stable, has future releases, and is compliant with new technologies. The significant advantage is that it is a standardized product with a proper, well-planned roadmap, support, and R&D. The positive impact I have experienced from installing TIBCO BusinessWorks is that it is reliable and has better support. It is easy to use and saves overall support costs. The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb. We have implemented it in a Kubernetes cluster with auto-scaling. If any systems go down, we have pods that automatically restart and spawn new pods which start taking the load. Earlier deployments used to be on VMs where infrastructure was limited, making scaling difficult. With Kubernetes, you can provision in advance and scale up or down based on requirements. The graphical user interface of TIBCO BusinessWorks is very easy to use. You can configure all components efficiently. Previously, configuration required opening XML files, which wasn't easy to understand without complete specifications knowledge. The graphical interface makes it easy to understand what needs to be configured and is straightforward to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."

"It is simple to transfer files."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."

"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."

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

"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."

"It is user friendly, it's not complex."

"Good performance and reliability."

"We use the solution to develop applications."

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

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

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"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."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

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

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

"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 responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."

"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"Cloud fitness is lacking"

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks 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."

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."

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

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"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 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

"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."

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

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

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

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

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
