SAP Integration Suite
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SAP Integration Suite is use as a middleware with SAP applications and their party applications. We use SAP Integration Suite mostly for mapping and as a layer of security between application that does not have a SAP connectors that can allow to connect to S4HANNA. Monitoring of our applications is also important in our organization so we take the benefit of SAP Integration Suite.
Pros
- 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
- Documentation could be sometimes a little bit confusing. Some times I have to read more than twice times to get or understand the steps to follow.
- Would be good if we have less limit logic when is time to transform messages, sometime is very difficult to interact or try to do something less common than the tools that we have.
- The tracing on the iflow could be inproved to not depend on third parties app like SAP CPI Helper Chrome Extention.
Likelihood to Recommend
In our case to have a such a poweful middleware in the cloud, give us a lot of benefits such as maintenance and support. In the integration part to be able to connect SAP and Non SAP applications makes SAP Integration Suite a good investment when our master data in this case is in S4HANA. Less appropriate is that sometimes the updates in production tenant failed and they have to downgrade or repair the issues. Affecting the usage of the tool. I guess SAP team have to be more aware of performing the changes and tested well on development environments and then when they know for sure that is the correct way to go with the update put it in production.
