"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"The tool helps us to streamline data integration. Its BPM is very strong and powerful. The solution helps us manage digital transformation."

"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
 

Cons

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"It requires some maintenance."
"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"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."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"Its cost depends on the use cases."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
