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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs

The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."

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

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"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."

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

"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."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The solution is easy to use."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

"The solution's customer service is good."

"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."

"It was mostly easy to set up the product."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

Cons

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"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."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

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

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

"It requires some maintenance."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"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."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
