RFCs (i.e. Remote Function Calls ) have been used in SAP landscapes for a long time and are one of the easy ways to communicate with SAP system . There are many other options now and they all have their benefits.
In many cases products have been built utlizing RFC technology by different vendors with one of the most common being SAP JCO.

From documentation page:
The SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) is a development library that enables a Java application to communicate with SAP systems via SAP’s RFC protocol. The SAP JCo supports both communication directions: inbound Remote Function Calls (Java calls ABAP) as well as outbound Remote Function Calls (ABAP calls Java).
I have previously built Java and shell script based solutions using SAP JCo and it has proven to be an effective workhorse in integration landscapes with very demanding requirements.
Recently, we onboarded a software from a vendor which has created solution utlizing RFC and SAP Cloud Integration. The RFCs were not working when using RFC receiver adapter in SAP Cloud Integration.
This blog provides my experiences in :
1) understanding the RFC receiver a bit better
2)Solution when the standard RFC receiver adapter couldn’t work for us.
