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

"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."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"SAP Process Orchestration is quite flexible in supporting various integration standards and protocols, and it's fulfilling all our needs."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"SnapLogic positively impacts my organization, mainly in three areas: speed, system reliability, and maintainability."
"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."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"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."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
"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."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"I find the learning curve for complex transformations, the debugging experience, performance optimization visibility, cost for small teams, and version control and DevOps integration could be improved in SnapLogic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"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 pricing for this solution is fine."
"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's not an expensive solution."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"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."
"I used the free trial."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
