We performed a comparison between IBM B2B Integrator 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 find the codeless communications, SFTP or FTP, valuable."
"B2B provides a secure communication channel."
"The best feature is that many companies use the solution so there is a lot of peer support."
"The solution offers good integration capabilities."
"It's highly stable, and the redundancy is amazing. B2B Integrator also has a high availability option to work in a cluster environment. You rarely have issues operating it because of the HA."
"The most valuable features assist with understanding data formats and transforming data."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the range of EDI standards that IBM Sterling can handle."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud."
"The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions."
"When working on an elaborate rule, I end up creating it in notepad and then pasting it into the Extended Rule window, which is not convenient."
"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 dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"The web interface of B2B is quite outdated and not particularly user-friendly."
"The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough."
"API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."
"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."
"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 is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
