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

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

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."

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

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

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."

"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."

"The product is powerful, straightforward, and easy to use."

"The orchestration aspects of APIs, the integration capabilities, and the logging functionalities were the most critical features of our workflow."

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."

"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."

"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."

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

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

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"The solution could be more scalable."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"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 product must add more compatible connectors."

"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."

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

"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."

"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
