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."The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"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's technical support is good."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"It requires some maintenance."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"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 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."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"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."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
