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

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"SAP Process Orchestration is something that I recommend because it is a very high-quality product."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The stability of the product is very good; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"SAP Process Orchestration is quite flexible in supporting various integration standards and protocols, and it's fulfilling all our needs."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"It has allowed us to produce consistently created, well-documented, easy to maintain DW solutions for our clients."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code and data structures and that it is a fully integrated environment."
"During the POC myself and one WS resource were able to deliver a project in 3 days that had been in development by other resources for 6 months and still hadn't been delivered."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"We are now 2.5 years into using WhereScape and all warehouse code we have converted from our old tool to WhereScape has performed faster; anywhere from 20-80% reduction in processing time."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"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."
"The price for SAP Process Orchestration is a little high when compared to market trends, which is just how the business is."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"Unfortunately this tool's basic architecture has severe flaws which make it likely impractical for most real world marts or data warehouses."
"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"There are some newer features that haven't been included in the training materials yet so they're a little outdated (although the help documentation is very good)."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"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."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"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."
"ROI is at least 10 times."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
