Yes, we have integrated it with SAP S/4HANA on premise. We even used a standard Fiori app. Integration works well following SAP's integration guidelines, content and technology. Recommended approach is to use OData services for the connectivity with SAP S/4HANA. We have connected it to Microsoft Outlook using RPA. We have not integrated it with other solutions.
We built a workflow in few days. The design time environment is easy to use and the available tutorials are easy to follow step-by-step. We combined workflow with Robotic Process Automation and it was easy to do. Building such workflow without SAP Build would have taken us multiple weeks, but thanks to SAP Build Process Automation, we could complete it just in few days.
The interface is very modern, web-based, no deep technical knowledge is required to use SAP Build Process Automation. It works with drag and drop, configuration and almost no coding is needed. Actually, we had to write code only for one specific small business logic. All the rest could be done in a no-code manner.

Yes

Would you buy SAP Build again?

Yes

The Optical Character Recognition is working excellent, it's even better than some well-known niche players in the market. It's very suitable for workflows crossing multiple SAP and non-SAP systems. The Robotic Process Automation is quite good, but not best of breed. The integration content SAP provides on the other hand, is a great way to get started.
