We performed a comparison between IBM B2B Integrator and SAP Process Orchestration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business-to-Business Middleware solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's highly stable, and the redundancy is amazing. B2B Integrator also has a high availability option to work in a cluster environment. You rarely have issues operating it because of the HA."
"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster."
"The technical support on offer through the portal is very helpful and responsive."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"B2B Integrator is multi-platform, so it can be integrated with Windows, Unix, or whatever, and it can work with almost all programming languages. It can also transfer a lot of data in a short time. For instance, a system I recently implemented exchanges about 20 million files a day."
"The most valuable feature of IBM B2B Integrator is its security and flexibility."
"Everything from the order to fulfillment to the payment process, except for physical packing and shipping, is fully automated for some customer orders."
"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."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application."
"There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry."
"The web interface of B2B is quite outdated and not particularly user-friendly."
"They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough."
"API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud."
"There should be a single place to do things, rather than making it complicated, not moving away and truncating the old features but instead coming up with the new and still keeping the old stuff confuses people sometimes."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"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."
"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."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
