We performed a comparison between Infor ION and SAP Process Orchestration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business-to-Business Middleware solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the most valuable feature to be the ability to monitor integration performance and the reasons for the failure of inbound and outbound transactions. We can see both inbound and outbound transactions, and it gives us a mirror image or the whole history of all inbound and outbound transactions between Infor M3 Business Engine and the third parties."
"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."
"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."
"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."
"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."
"Infor ION doesn't provide connectors for all integration touchpoints. Sometimes, we may have to build our own. It incurs additional costs for the customer."
"ION's integration with older applications could be better."
"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 older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"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."
"The solution could be more scalable."
