Pros
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody.

More SAP Replication Server Pros →

"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."

Cons
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see.""I would like to see it become mobile-friendly.""The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

More SAP Replication Server Cons →

"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
  • More SAP Replication Server Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
  • "Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
  • "Workato is an expensive solution."
