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."
"With SAP, you can trust what it tells you."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."
"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."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten."
"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."
 

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 isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
"It needs more improvement in terms of user-friendliness. SAP wasn't user-friendly at all."
"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."
"Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"The initial setup is a little complex. The users are not able to install the prerequisite drivers or are not able to follow the SOP because they don't have access to SAP Logon. If users already have access, it will take seven to 10 days to deploy the solution. If they do not, it may take a maximum of 25 to 30 days."
"The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it."
"Has become somewhat unstable recently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."
"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."
"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"It's a very expensive solution."
