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…

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"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."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
 

Cons

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"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."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"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."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"We don't pay for a license."
