Featured Reviews

Avinash Gangu - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"This efficient workflow has been particularly helpful."
"Support is helpful."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"It's scalable."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
 

Cons

"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"The performance of data migration could be smoother."
"I think that Amazon needs to improve the migration scenarios after analytics"
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"In my experience, AWS Database Migration Service performs well for its primary purpose of data migration. One area that could be improved is its support for non-AWS file formats, particularly when integrating data from sources stored outside of AWS. For example, handling AWS Data Lakes, Delta Lake, or Hadoop file formats stored in S3 requires extensive configuration and isn't always straightforward. It would be beneficial to streamline this process to ensure smoother migrations from non-AWS environments to AWS. As for additional functionality, I think enhancing support for these external file formats and simplifying configuration steps would be valuable improvements for the service."
"One area that AWS DMS can improve on is its conversion of data types. For example, in Oracle, you have a data type called RAW, but in PostgreSQL there is no such thing. Thus, AWS DMS doesn't know what type I want to use when migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL, and when performing the migration, AWS DMS changed the RAW data type to the byte data type, which isn't what I wanted."
"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."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"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 is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for the solution is reasonable, but could still be reduced."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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 cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"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."
