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.
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

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 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."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The solution's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"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 should be more scripting possibilities."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"It requires some maintenance."
"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."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"It is an expensive platform."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
