Overall Satisfaction with SAP Integration Suite

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the SAP Integration Suite for integrations with SuccessFactors and also for a lot of inbound and outbound IDOC interfaces. This helped us resolve the issue we had with many terminals posting sales data into SAP ERP system. We also use CPI for a lot of File Transfers using FTP.

Alternatives Considered

Informatica Cloud Data Integration

Informatica had many challenges when we tried using it for IDOC integrations. When we tried building the same integration using CPI it was a breeze. The development is easy, the monitoring and error handling was super easy. We really liked how we were able to rectify the errors and have a easy integration adding value to the business.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is most suited where an integration involves IDOCs and SAP relevant APIs. We had issues with integrating our ERP system with external terminals and we used CPI to integrate the SAP system with external Terminalling systems. However, in scenarios where one of the end systems is not SAP, it might not be the best tool.
