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...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"It is simple to transfer files."

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

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."

"The solution is stable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."

"How simple it is to create new solutions."

"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."

"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."

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

"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."

"WebMethods.io is a powerful tool, but it requires skilled people who can fully utilize its potential."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."

"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."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

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

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

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

"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."

"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."

"Support is expensive."

"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."

"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."

"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."

"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."

More webMethods.io cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"It's not an expensive solution."

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

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

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

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

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."

"It is worth the cost."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
