Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
SAP Process Orchestration is used as a middleware for B2B and AI integrations. It serves as a standard middleware for SAP projects, facilitating data exchange between external partners or internal systems.  It is particularly beneficial in the defense industry for orchestrating logistics…

Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"Stability feels fine."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
 

Cons

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"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 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."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"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 would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"There is a need for mastery in some areas."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"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."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
