Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing

For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions

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. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is simple to transfer files."

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

"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."

"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."

"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."

"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."

"The technical support is very good."

"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."

"Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent."

"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."

"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 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."

"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."

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."

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

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."

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

"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."

"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

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

"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."

"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

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

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."

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

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

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

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."
