Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Automation has transformed daily operations and now delivers faster, more accurate data flows
The best features in SnapLogic are the drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy to build data and application flows. No heavy coding is required, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users. SnapLogic also offers pre-built snaps, real-time and batch processing, API management and integration, cloud and hybrid support, dashboarding and monitoring, error handling and retry mechanisms, scalability, security and governance, and transformation capabilities with built-in functions to clean and transform data, expressions, aggregations, and mappings. SnapLogic offers auto-mapping and smart schema detection as additional features. SnapLogic can detect schemas automatically, which helps when sources evolve or change, and this matters because there is less manual mapping work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"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's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"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."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"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."
"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 product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The pricing is okay."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
