SAP Process Orchestration Reviews

I have worked with SAP Process Orchestration to facilitate interfaces between different systems, including various SAP modules like HR and FISCO, and non-SAP systems. We also use it alongside SAP BTP to interface these modules.

The basic features of SAP Process Orchestration, especially the collection of adapters such as File Adapter, SOAP Adapter, REST Adapter, HTTP Adapter, and FTP Adapter, are the most valuable. Sometimes, the BPM feature is also useful, although it is used about twenty percent of the time compared to the standard features. In terms of overall usage, the suite's integration capabilities allow organizations to maintain stable connections across different platforms, with compatibility being a significant plus.

SAP Process Orchestration is used as a middleware for B2B and AI integrations. It serves as a standard middleware for SAP projects, facilitating data exchange between external partners or internal systems. 

It is particularly beneficial in the defense industry for orchestrating logistics, transportation management, warehouse management, finances, and other operations within defense agencies.

SAP Process Orchestration has driven cost savings and improved operational efficiency through its prepackaged content, which provides ready-made solutions, reducing development time and cost. It enables seamless B2B integration and support, which are essential for operations within defense agencies.

I use the solution in my company for any third-party or internal integrations, meaning that the tool is mainly used for integrations.

I think that SAP should work more on data modeling. Based on what I know and from my experience, I feel SAP is stable to a certain degree of volume when it comes to data modeling. If the volume of data goes high, then SAP PI/PO has issues while connecting with third parties, so we have another middleware to connect to third parties. If you are connecting directly to third parties, that means you are exposing your internal network to third parties. Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required.

SAP is an ERP solution that has provided protection in NSG, and our models are integrated into each other.

In my company, we normally use the solution to integrate all of our internal applications within our organization. As per SAP, the solution's lifecycle may end by 2027. My company plans to replace SAP Process Orchestration with a newer version of SAP product, which is a cloud-based version.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the EDI integrations provided by SAP. Some of the inbuilt integrations, as well as its components, like the mapping engine and other items, like the available adapters, make for some of the valuable features of the product.

I use the solution in my company for the inventory part, specifically from our POS to our central inventory, from our e-commerce sites to our central inventory, and for all the communication and integrations involving purchase orders.

Some configurations can be a little tricky. The consulting team had to spend a long time checking SAP's community forums and documentation to achieve some goals. The tool could release some new functionalities.

I use the solution in my company for connectivity to third-party systems, and it is simply for the processing of transactional data.

The solution's most valuable feature is its Java Message Service, which is fantastic. One of the key features of Java Message Service is the fact that it offers guaranteed delivery.

Our use cases are all related to integration, from ERPs to third parties. 

The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not.

SAP Process Orchestration has a higher version of the CPIs and all that, which is a part of APs. But, it's on a case-to-case basis, whether there is any business requirement for it. But right now, whatever the process orchestration offers, it's good for our business requirements.
