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

"The solution is stable."

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

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

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

"The initial setup was straightforward."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

"Good performance and reliability."

"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."

"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."

"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."

"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."

"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"It requires some maintenance."

"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."

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."

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

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."

"Cloud fitness is lacking"

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

"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."

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

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

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

"The solution is highly-priced."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."

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

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

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"The product is not cheap."
