"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"Everything from the order to fulfillment to the payment process, except for physical packing and shipping, is fully automated for some customer orders."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the range of EDI standards that IBM Sterling can handle."
"B2B Integrator is multi-platform, so it can be integrated with Windows, Unix, or whatever, and it can work with almost all programming languages. It can also transfer a lot of data in a short time. For instance, a system I recently implemented exchanges about 20 million files a day."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"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 most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry."
"Patching or upgrading the product is a bit of a nightmare. It would be nice if they removed the installation manager port. We find it complicates upgrading and patching a great deal."
"The tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough."
"They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"The reporting features could be better. right now, they are lacking a bit."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"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."
