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

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"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."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"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 requires some maintenance."
"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."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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"
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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."
