Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working

StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around 1 to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working. The majority of stuff wasn't backed up, so we really weren't happy with them. That's when we went on the look for a new solution.

Good for management and easily generate payslips at any point in time

We use NetWeaver for our appraisal process, the procedure for maybe benefits and emoluments. You can use it to generate your base leaves and other stuff. We mainly use it for human capital management or staff. Then we have a P2P, document signing, peer-to-peer. I've used those functions for a long…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."

"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."

"The integration feature is valuable."

"What's most valuable in SAP NetWeaver is the integration. That's been very helpful because the company has one thousand five hundred interfaces running, so integration has been the most significant factor. I've also seen many improvements in the SAP NetWeaver user experience, where users can have reports delivered to mobile devices."

"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."

"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."

"We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers."

"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."

Cons

"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."

"SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."

"SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."

"It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all."

"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."

"The initial setup was not very easy."

"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."

"Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."

"The product documentation can be improved."
