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.

Connects systems securely, simplifies data communication, and benefits from AI integration potential

I would like to see an AI project with BusinessWorks. I haven't worked with cloud architecture using BusinessWorks, so I would like to work with it as a cloud architect. I am still learning the documentation, so I don't have a complete experience with TIBCO. The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.

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

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

"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."

"The solution is stable."

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"It is very valuable for my work, helping me communicate with other branches, parse data, and change data formats to respond to the front channels with the correct format."

"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."

"Good performance and reliability."

"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."

"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."

"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."

"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."

"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler."

"Cloud fitness is lacking"

"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."

"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"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."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

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

"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."

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

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

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."

"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
