Cons
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users.""The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates.""The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved.""It requires some maintenance.""The solution needs to move to the cloud.""This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions.""In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them.""It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."

More SAP Process Orchestration Cons →

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner.""The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

    Overview
    SAP NetWeaver Process Integration facilitates the integration of business processes that span different departments, organizations, or companies. SAP PI is based on general standards so as to enable 3rd-party systems to be integrated. At the center of SAP PI is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). Irrespective of the scenario used, the application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML eXtensible Markup Language) from the sender to the receiver either via the Integration Server, or directly between the systems involved. SAP PI can be installed in different ways: Dual usage type installation: Based on both AS ABAP and AS Java. and Advanced Adapter Engine Extended (AEX): Based on AS Java only.
    SAS/ACCESS is an out-of-the-box solution for integrating SAS and third-party databases. You can read, write and update data regardless of the database or platform. Because the data appears native to SAS, there is no need to learn Structured Query Language (SQL) or any other database-specific query languages.
