Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable

We use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading processes. This includes extracting data from various sources like Oracle and SQL Server, and then transforming it for use in reporting tools like Power BI dashboards. While we haven't directly migrated data between databases using SSIS…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

"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."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The UI is very user-friendly."

"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."

"It's a competent product."

"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."

"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is performance."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."

"The solution could be more scalable."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"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 is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."

"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."

"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."

"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."

"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."

"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."

"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"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 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."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
