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.

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 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."

"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."

"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."

"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."

"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 most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

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

"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 solution's technical support is good."

"The solution is easy to use."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"It requires some maintenance."

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

"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."

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

"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."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The solution is highly-priced."

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

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

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"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."

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