Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases
The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world. SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems. We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic. SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration is quite flexible in supporting various integration standards and protocols, and it's fulfilling all our needs."
"The solution is stable."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"SnapLogic has helped automate manual data transfers, improved workflow efficiency, and significantly reduced the integration development timelines, which is a measurable outcome."
"It is a stable solution."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
 

Cons

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"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."
"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 user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"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 fee for maintenance is costly."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"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."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"I used the free trial."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
