Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

A tool that can be useful for small integrations and large integrations
It is a pretty scalable solution. You can use the tool for small integrations and large integrations. From a use case perspective, all the people, around 3,000 employees, use the tool in my organization since some form of the product's integration capabilities are used in the company and have their own requirements of interfaces. There are no plans to increase the use of the solution in my company. My company has a couple of managers and developers to do the coding and mapping in SAP PI/PO. If I talk about the APAC region, I have almost eight to ten people who take care of the tool's complete technical area.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"It has been a stable product."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"The solution is stable."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
 

Cons

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"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."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Documentation could be improved."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"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 improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"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."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately 20k annually."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"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 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."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
