Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not.""The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity.""The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable.""SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary.""Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity.""The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration.""The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution.""The solution's technical support is good."

More SAP Process Orchestration Pros →

"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward.""The scalability of SSIS is good.""SSIS is easy to use.""It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs.""You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive.""The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching.""The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT.""The technical support is very good."

Cons
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way.""The cloud capability features need improvement.""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 older version of the solution will no longer be supported.""Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information.""This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions.""We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters.""It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

More SAP Process Orchestration Cons →

"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on.""SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality.""It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution.""Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes.""A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened.""You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price.""Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster.""The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
  • "The pricing for this solution is fine."
  • "There are fees in addition to the licensing."
  • "It's not an expensive solution."
  • "Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
  • "The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
  • "The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
  • "The fee for maintenance is costly."
  • More SAP Process Orchestration Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow. In order to achieve this seamless movement between two environments, your ETL technology should allow the dynamic update of the project’s properties using the content or a parameter file or configuration. Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections.
