"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration.""Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity.""t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution.""With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters.""The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems.""Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework.""The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced.""I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

Cons
"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."

More Actian Pervasive Data Integrator [EOL] Cons →

"The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with.""API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy.""The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough.""There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application.""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.""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.""Map translator needs more enhancements.""The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."

More IBM B2B Integrator Cons →

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them.""The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users.""The solution needs to move to the cloud.""The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life.""It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way.""This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions.""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 is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
