"One of the best features of Confluent is that it's very easy to search and have a live status with Jira."
"Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance."
"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."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"there is room for improvement in the visualization."
"The formatting aspect within the page can be improved and more powerful."
"It could be improved by including a feature that automatically creates a new topic and puts failed messages."
"There is no local support team in Saudi Arabia."
"The Schema Registry service could be improved. I would like a bigger knowledge base of other use cases and more technical forums. It would be good to have more flexible monitoring features added to the next release as well."
"It could have more themes. They should also have more reporting-oriented plugins as well. It would be great to have free custom reports that can be dispatched directly from Jira."
"Areas for improvement include implementing multi-storage support to differentiate between database stores based on data age and optimizing storage costs."
"Currently, in the early stages, I see a gap on the security side. If you are using the SaaS version, we would like to get a fuller, more secure solution that can be adopted right out of the box. Confluence could do a better job sharing best practices or a reusable pattern that others have used, especially for companies that can not afford to hire professional services from Confluent."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

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 is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"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 Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
