    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    In my opinion, SAP Process Control is well suited for bigger companies with an already mature Internal Control System as well as for bigger companies who want to completely new/redesign the internal control system. The size of the company, as well as the budget, is quite important when thinking about the implementation of SAP Process Control. A smaller company with e.g., 150 people should think more about implementing SAP FCM.

    Cons
    IBM
    • I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
    • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
    • It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

    • Default delivery of controls could be done by SAP on some basic controls like client openings, password controls, etc
    • The messaging or customization of messages in different workflows is limited, which could be introduced to enhance the product
    • SAP Process control does not have the capability for cloud product monitoring which is required with more SAP cloud products available right now

    DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

    The connectivity with other SAP products out of the SAP GRC suite, like Access Control and so on, was key for the decision. Also we had an already mature SAP System landscape as well as having internal processes that were similar to the SAP Process Control standard processes helped us with the decision to implement SAP Process Control.

    SAP
    • Automated alerts for controls issues
    • Workflow capabilities; however, there's natively only 2 levels of review. More layers would be beneficial.
