We performed a comparison between SAP Process Orchestration and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"It requires some maintenance."
"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."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"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 product must add more compatible connectors."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
