"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 of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems.""t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution.""The solution's technical support is good.""The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature.""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 monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced.""It is a scalable solution."

Cons
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""I would like the stability to improve.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue.""Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud.""It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends.""The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life.""In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them.""The usability is an area where it can be improved upon.""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.""I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO.""SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
