Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"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 solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
 

Cons

"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"Documentation could be improved."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"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."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"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."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"Approximately 20k annually."
"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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"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 product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
