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.

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services

Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an 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 performance of data processing has increased."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"The solution is easy to use."

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

"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"The solution is stable."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

"It is simple to transfer files."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

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

"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."

"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."

"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."

"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."

"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."

"The tool supports gRPC."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"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."

"The solution could be more scalable."

"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."

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."

"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."

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

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"For code version control, you need to use some external software."

"Support is expensive."

"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."

"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

"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 see the price improve."

"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."

More webMethods.io cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."

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

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

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

"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 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."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"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

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"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."

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
