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."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"The initial setup is easy."
"SAP is the best solution for them to integrate with many other third-party systems or other VRP systems."
"The support from SAP Process Orchestration is very helpful."
"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution has solved many problems for our customers and has improved their operations."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."
"It's easy to use, scalable and reusable and it's overall a great product."
"If a company needs to use SnapLogic, first they need to consider why they need it, and if you have all your applications moving from on-premise to cloud migration, this is one of the best tools for that."
"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"Overall, SnapLogic is a very good tool and from a practical standpoint, it delivers integration quickly, reduces manual work, lowers dependency on multiple tools, and improves team productivity, helping us to move faster."
"I would tell others looking into using SnapLogic to use it, take it, use it, and use it, because you can't go beyond SnapLogic and SnapLogic is not going to give you any kind of bad experience, definitely."
 

Cons

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"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."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks."
"It is scalable and it requires some maintenance."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."
"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 area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"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."
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not an expensive solution."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"I used the free trial."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The pricing is okay."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
