It's bundled, so I don't need to purchase an additional product

Infor ION is a middleware solution I use to create workflows, integrate applications, and build custom dashboards. I deploy ION for all customers that use Infor because they need to integrate internal business applications like an Oracle content management system or their financial software ION…

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."

"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."

"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."

"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"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 initial setup is easy."

"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

Cons

"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."

"ION's integration with older applications could be better."

"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."

"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"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."

"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."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"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 for this solution is fine."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
