Laxman Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The initial setup is easy."
More SAP Process Orchestration pros
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
More webMethods.io pros
 

Cons

"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 is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
More SAP Process Orchestration cons
"The deployment should be simplified."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."
"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."
More webMethods.io cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"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 license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice
"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."
"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."
"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
