Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Selim Seddiki - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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 standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
 

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"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."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The tool is cheap."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
