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.

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

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"With SnapLogic, you can cut down the delivery times and send high volumes."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"We have experienced latency and reliability issues when using large amounts of data."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"As for improvements, the monitor that I currently use sometimes gets stuck and I am not able to expand and view the child pipelines in a much easier way."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"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."
"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."
