    Cloud Elements shines when you want to offer multiple options to the user on a type of system, such as supporting integration to CRM and wanting to offer Dynamics, Salesforce, and HubSpot on equal footing. If you only have a single integration with a single system, using Cloud Elements adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction.

    Like, a business wants its distributors to access products and services without giving them DB access. The SAP Integration Suite helps by exposing APIs through API management and separating external API consumers from the implementation. It fits in an organization because an organization needs a managed API layer rather than a collection of unmanaged ones.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • The API itself is very robust and easy to use, being a standard REST interface, standard HTTP response codes, well-packaged error messages, etc.
    • Their uptime is great! I think I've seen one (short) 5-minute' blip' the entire time we've been connected for any type of primary function.
    • Their support is top notch, they respond quickly, and the team that works with you is communicative and knowledgable.

    • The extensive catalog of pre package integrations that have in the discovery center. That allows developers to find solutions that can fit the needs.
    • Monitor of the integrations and api deployed.
    • API management has been for us a very usefull tool inside integration suite, to be able to have the API Hub with the documentation of our apis.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • The only thing I can think of that they could improve is the quality of the assets they produce in the go-to-market process. This is a huge value add service, but the quality of what was produced was lower than what we would have produced internally. We spent more time going back and forth on the assets than it would have taken us to build them from scratch.

    • Performance to be improved: for simple point to point integrations with bare minimum data it takes relatively more time than other applications
    • No possibility to have a dedicated own license running on my own network
    • Need to improve providing more pre loaded connectors
    • No availability of AI usage in standard edition

    It is in place, our system integrators are familiar with it, and it fits into the ecosystem. A better user interface, flow build and debugging experience would see it grow, many technical staff do not enjoy using it for this reason, however it is quite capable and powerful behind this one shortcoming.

    The user interface is messy and not intuitive. It has a steep learning curve, and flows developed around are easy to make a mess with layout and can be difficult to follow. The debugging is also quite difficult, it takes some time to figure out how to follow the flow and examine data. Error handling is also difficult and not intuitive, it is better to let some errors leak and monitor through ALM.

    The support for SAP Integration Suite is satisfactory. We leverage SAP support through our manage services partner. So far, we have not had many major issues. One concern, to make our rating a ten, would be turnaround time on high priority incidents. SAP Integration Suite drives our key business functions forward. Without a reasonable service level agreement on turnaround, we sometimes find us running into issues running pay, etc.

    At the time we found Cloud Elements we found no other option that had a Unified API for cloud storage providers.

    Before deploying SAP Integration Suite, we assessed Oracle Financial Services Analytics and IBM Risk Analytics. While Oracle had proved its mettle in the exceptional database support and IBM in presenting risk model tools, SAP Integration Suite overwhelmed others by being effortlessly integrated with our existing banking framework.
