Overall Satisfaction with SAP Integration Suite

It is used as a consulting service for our customers. It's been used within a specific department. It helps our clients accelerate integration across your value chain, simplify the development of application extensions, and expand business value with an open ecosystem.

Pros

  • Accelerate integration across the value chain to connect your landscape.
  • Simplify development of your application extensions to get more value and enable change.
  • Expand business value with our open partner ecosystem.

Cons

  • From a developer’s perspective, the strategy to move towards Cloud Foundry was a very good decision and turns the SAP Cloud Platform to a competitive offering in the PaaS area.
  • Easy for developers.
  • Quarterly releases take a lot of time.
  • When it comes to the SAP Integration Suite one can state that this platform is struggling to fulfill the characteristics.
  • It is kind of a “hybrid” experience as you start at a web page (good) and end up with a pdf file (aka price list where the emphasis is put on “list”) that lists all the offering in some order and leaves you a calculator (and probably someone who has knowledge what is really needed as service) to finish the work.
  • Looking at the established offerings that is a drawback.
If there is an application running on SAP Integration Suite and it needs to access some data from the on-premises backend system, then there is no need to open the port on the firewall. Some examples include: Webshop application running in the cloud that integrates with an on-premises business suite for triggering sales orders. Analysis and monitoring application in the cloud that analyzes real-time data on HANA and triggers alerts or maintenance requests in a connected on-premises CRM system when certain events happen. Employee or manager self-service applications which shall be accessible on mobile devices and outside of the company Intranet and integrate with on-premises ERP systems.
Nothing so far.
[Outperforms] competitor tools.

From a developer’s perspective, that move was and is great as it finally allows us to develop and operate cloud-native applications in SAP Integration Suite. Although there is still some way to go to achieve one SAP Integration Suite bringing the NEO platform services together with the CF platform and finally arrive at one platform from a developer’s perspective. However, before the start of development there is some important task to do (often overseen by developers ) – subscribe to the cloud platform and to the services you need for your application. And this task is a bumpy ride when we talk about SAP Integration Suite. So, let us check and challenge the cloud characteristics linked to this aspect of the cloud and how SAP Integration Suite deals with them.
