Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines

The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.

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.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is easy to implement."

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

"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."

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"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."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

"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."

Cons

"Technical support needs to be better."

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

"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."

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

"It requires some maintenance."

"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."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The solution is highly-priced."

"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."

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

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"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."

"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."
