"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"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 is the integration."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"Good performance and reliability."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"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 monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
