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.

Drag and drop capabilities simplify service development for easy building

It is drag and drop. Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end. It is easier to build services with BusinessWorks. When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier. It is easy to integrate, especially when the architecture is well-designed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."

"The initial setup is easy."

"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."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

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

"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."

"SAP Process Orchestration is quite flexible in supporting various integration standards and protocols, and it's fulfilling all our needs."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way."

"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."

"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."

"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."

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

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."

"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

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

"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 requires some maintenance."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

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

"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."

"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."

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

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"The communication protocols could be improved."

"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'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."

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

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."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

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

"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."

"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."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."

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

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

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

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

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
