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.

A scalable tool to create dashboards for financial reporting

I have experience with Qlik. Our company moved from Qlik to TIBCO, as the latter provided us with easier options to make dashboards. We consider TIBCO to be better for our company in some of the areas related to automation and analytics. The data monitoring team in our company prefers TIBCO.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The solution is easy to use."

"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."

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

"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."

"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."

"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."

"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."

"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."

"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."

"TIBCO Spotfire integrates with R and Python, offering a differentiator from the competition."

More TIBCO Spotfire pros

Cons

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

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

"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 is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

"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."

"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."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The solution might be generic."

"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."

"The design of the UI could be improved."

"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."

"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."

"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."

"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."

"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

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

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

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The solution is highly-priced."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."

"The price-point for this solution is negotiable depending on usage levels."

"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."

"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."

"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."

"The solution is affordable one."

"The pricing seems competitive and reasonable. The value delivered by the product far exceeds the cost."

"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."
