Pricing, TCO, and Licensing Models

27 citations from LLM engines

According to TrustRadius reviews, the total cost of ownership for SAP Integration Suite is highly dependent on the integration landscape. Reviewers find the solution to be cost-effective for integrations within the SAP ecosystem, with some noting reduced licensing costs compared to other middleware platforms. Conversely, costs can increase significantly when integrating with non-SAP systems. The licensing model is described as complex, though some find it cheaper than third-party middleware. Reviewers also mention a pricing model change from a message-count to a CPU basis for those migrating from older SAP products. Some users employ specific features to minimize costs, but others report the price can be a barrier for certain use cases.
