Overall Satisfaction with SAP Integration Suite

SAP Integration Suite is the chosen product to replace our current integration platform which is SAP PO. It provides robust, modern integration capability for our business needs whilst providing reliability and scalability. We will use it in our end to end business processes replacing existing integration solutions with newer design patterns and protocols. As SAP Integration Suite enables API-first and event driven architectures, it's our preferred platform for implementing retail business processes. We have usage across supply chain, procurement, sales and distribution as well as customer experience modules such as digital.

Pros

  • Myriad of prepackaged integration content available out of the box and suite of connectivity options to both SAP and non-SAP systems.
  • Robust, resilient platform with above 99% availability guarantee. Choice of deployment options- cloud/hybrid, hyperscaler providers like GCP, AWS, Azure etc. and at several geographical locations.
  • Great enabler of API-first Integration design approach. Provides fully developed API management portal with option to catalog APIs via API Business Hub Enterprise.
  • Allows to implement Event-Driven architecture via SAP Event Mesh (small scale) or via SAP Integration Suite Advanced Event Mesh (high/ultra-high loads).

Cons

  • Absence of dedicated EOIO option in integration Flow design
  • Absence of robust logging feature beyond 30 days (similar to SAP PO)
  • Lack of a retry mechanism out-of-the-box for asynchronous message processing failures
  • Would like an IDE style script designer UI within the tenant itself as opposed to the basic script writing option currently available.
  • We expect to reduce our overall annual integration cost by moving to a cloud based platform such as SAP Integration Suite rather than an on-premise one.
  • In order to address modern challenges in retail industry, we expect to be better placed for technology adoption, better customer experience and overall business growth
  • With advent of AI, SAP Integration Suite will help us leverage value from real time data integrations and insights.
With adoption of SAP Integration Suite we intend to have following benefits. 1. Robust, resilient platform with above 99% availability guarantee. Minimizing system downtimes and leverage scaling flexibility during selective peak load times such as black Friday sales. 2. Option to catalog APIs via API Business Hub Enterprise and thereby imparting knowledge of integrated business processes into organization's digital culture. 3. With event-driven architecture, we will leverage better decision making through real-time data analytics and provide better Omni channel customer experience.
With event-driven architecture, we will leverage better decision making through real-time data analytics and provide better Omni channel customer experience. On top of this, we will also deploy LLMS and generative AI capabilities to provide customised user experience, better suggestive purchase options and also track specific promotional campaign experiences. Additionally, this will helps us with better planning and resource optimization across the value chain.

Do you think SAP Integration Suite delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SAP Integration Suite's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP Integration Suite live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP Integration Suite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Integration Suite again?

Yes

SAP Integration Suite is well suited for API based scenarios like REST, ODATA, SOAP APIs. They integration really well with SAP based applications, processes via options such as IDoc, APIs etc. SAP Integration Suite is also a good candidate where standard connectivity adapter options are available for the non-SAP product such as Salesforce, etc.
However, in my opinion, SAP Integration Suite is not a preferred option when keeping integration solution and business data on-site is a statutory requirement. Also if the integration solution is to be used for mass load/initial master data load then caution must be exercised.
