Featured Reviews

S Solomon Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
It's bundled, so I don't need to purchase an additional product
I rate Infor ION nine out of 10. It's a good solution if you want to develop a process-oriented hierarchy, develop custom software, or integrate any application externally or internally within your server. We're pushing more of our customers to the cloud, and ION is excellent on the cloud. It's a little tedious to configure ION on the cloud.

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

"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."
"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the ability to monitor integration performance and the reasons for the failure of inbound and outbound transactions. We can see both inbound and outbound transactions, and it gives us a mirror image or the whole history of all inbound and outbound transactions between Infor M3 Business Engine and the third parties."
"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"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 offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."

Cons

"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."
"Infor ION doesn't provide connectors for all integration touchpoints. Sometimes, we may have to build our own. It incurs additional costs for the customer."
"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."
"ION's integration with older applications could be better."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"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."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
