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.
