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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 initial setup was straightforward."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more scalable."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"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."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"Customization could be better."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"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."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"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."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
"ROI is at least 10 times."
"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
