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."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 assist with understanding data formats and transforming data."
"Very flexible product; it allows implementing different flows on the same infrastructure."
"This solution allows for easy integration with heterogeneous applications."
"The solution is useful for transferring files from one format to another format. Also, the solution is useful in translation."
"IBM B2B Integrator is a great tool, robust, reliable, low-maintenance, and ideal solution."
"It can scale horizontally as well as vertically as a cluster."
"I find the codeless communications, SFTP or FTP, valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application."
"There should be a single place to do things, rather than making it complicated, not moving away and truncating the old features but instead coming up with the new and still keeping the old stuff confuses people sometimes."
"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."
"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."
"API integration could be improved. The legacy system could be on the cloud."
"The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
"End-to-end visibility and monitoring application required. The control center is available and covers this area, but it still fails in many monitoring scenarios."
"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."
"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 solution needs to move to the cloud."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"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 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."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
