Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The solution is easy to use."
More SAP Process Orchestration pros
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."
"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."
"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."
More webMethods.io pros
 

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
More SAP Process Orchestration cons
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"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"
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
More webMethods.io cons
 

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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice
"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."
"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."
"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
