Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"The tool helps us to streamline data integration. Its BPM is very strong and powerful. The solution helps us manage digital transformation."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
 

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"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."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"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."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."
"​Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"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 price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
