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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."

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

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

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"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 solution is stable."

"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"How simple it is to create new solutions."

"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."

"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."

"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."

"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."

"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."

"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."

"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

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

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

"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."

"The solution could be more scalable."

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

"It requires some maintenance."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."

"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."

"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."

"The solution's release management feature could be better."

"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."

"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."

"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."

"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
