We are working as the integrators for SAP NetWeaver, so we are involved in its integrations.
Integration and SAP Connectors, along with files and software services, are some of the valuable features of the solution.
Maintenance of the solution is an area that needs to improve. In comparison to SAP NetWeaver 7.5, for SAP NetWeaver 7.4, SAP PO and MVA are different. CPU is an area that needs much consideration. I think the upper version of the solution is going well. Integration and SAP Connectors need to be available on the cloud. However, with the recent versions, it is updated. I now have experience with SAP CPI. SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud. SAP CPI is, however, connected with the cloud.
I have been using SAP NetWeaver since 2017. So, it has been six years. I am not a customer but a part of an organization using the solution. Also, I am using SAP NetWeaver 7.4.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I rate it ten because I have the skill to solve any problem, and I have confidence in myself since I can seek the help of Google and others. So, if I am facing some issues, then I will try to resolve them, and the task will be closed very soon.
I know that more than 500 users are using the solution. Mostly, I deal with enterprise-sized companies.
We don't need technical support now. But in the start, we needed their support. We used to raise tickets to SAP, and the support team is very responsive. However, most of the time, we resolved the issue ourselves.
I rate SAP's technical support between three to four out of ten.
In the start, SAP NetWeaver was very difficult for me, but now I feel it is very easy using the solution. On a scale where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup, I rate the setup a ten.
I have done deployments, taking around a year.
Regarding deployment, there were some configuration issues that I have told my business consultant about since when I'm working, I face certain issues. There are many things related to Java and a few other things. So, some Java libraries are missing, and other crucial things are missing. I faced many issues when we were deploying the solution.
The first time, I didn't know about the deployment. So, it felt very complicated since it was not working properly. I think these issues belong to business consultants. Also, configurations and solution-related issues fall upon the business consultant. But when we are working as a developer on it, then we face many issues, and we raise the ticket to SAP or a consultant to resolve it. Some Java directories are missing, and some SAP Connectors are missing. Also, some of the connectivity is not proper. Most of the time, components and channels are not available for us.
On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a nine to ten since it is an expensive solution.
I would suggest those planning to use SAP NetWeaver go for SAP CPI.
I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
