There is not much more one could ask from a software solution. At the Lincoln Electric Company, we used Advantco SFDC adapter to integration salesforce and SAP. It saved us a lot of effort, so we could spend more time in fine tuning the functions of the interfaces. We ran into quite a few issues with locking, sequencing, volume of messages etc., and we've found features in the adapter combined with some PI feature to resolve all of those issues. The support team is very helpful, very knowledgeable about the product. So far we only needed to contact them during the implementation for a few questions. There has been no issue since go-live.

Stable and robust product, awesome support
Advantco SFDC Adapter for SAP NetWeaver® PI/PO & HCI
Advantco SFDC adapter performance is good and stable. Standard error logging in message monitor & channel monitor contains enough information to identify the root causes very easily. Channel ping functionality in adapter workbench is very helpful in analyzing connectivity issues, user lock or authorization issues. We like having the option to verify/download the latest schemas via SFDC Workbench. With older versions of Advantco SFDC adapter we had to generate most of the response schemas manually to fit into our Sync/Async bridge communication calls. Recent versions can generate these schemas from workbench automatically - very helpful in avoiding all conflicts during development. We can perform live SOQL tests/checks on Salesforce database via Query Builder, which has enabled us in finding out all data related issues, object field authorizations/availability issues, which are quite common with Salesforce like architecture and speeds up our test cycle diagnostics. Advantco support team is constantly exceeding our expectations by providing immediate solutions with their quick new updates. We have explicitly requested new functionalities as per our Danfoss requirements: E.g. o Query Lookup functionality in channels to reduce BPM flows into much simpler ICOs o Variable substitution with Connection configuration key in channel to dynamically connect/change multiple Salesforce boxes/databases based on payload o Accessing SFDC session parameters as ASMAs variables during asynchronous call o Downloading *.sda Apex webservice files into local to transport Apex webservice changes without any involvement of Basis team. Advantco SFDC Adapter can be patched online. There is no need to stop SAP PO. Still, a CPA Cache refresh is recommended and causes a short outage in message processing, but this is still much better than a restart. Parallel processing is not working properly on multiple SAP PO application servers. In most cases the message flow is sequential and we work with Advantco actively to resolve this issue.

Against the recommendation
Advantco SFDC Adapter for SAP NetWeaver® PI/PO & HCI
To be honest, in the beginning, we had quite some trouble to get the Integration between SFDC and our ERP running - the crucial experience was the support team from Advantco, they helped us a lot. Their response time is just phenomenal. This is now three years ago. Since then the integration worked perfectly and saved us already quite a lot development work. It was the right decision to go with the Advantco Adapter other than building up our one Integration classes even though this was a recommendation of another reference visit.

Simple but Robust

We, at Hunter Douglas recently implemented Advantco SFDC adapter as a solution for the existing salesforce interfaces. It has reduced a lot of development effort and the migration was super easy, It is very simple and easy to install, configure and develop the objects using Advantco SFDC adapter. The solution is very robust to handle REST, BULK and traditional XML based integration using APEX callouts, The SFDC Workbench features e.g- XSD generation, response structure generation are very useful and easy, Advantco support team is very knowledgeable and helpful to resolve any issue in a quick fashion. I will give them a 5 star too! I would definitely recommend this product for SAP-SF integration.
