The UI makes the setup easy to do from anywhere

Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations. SAP needs to come up with a standardized version of NetWeaver. The solution is good on the internal side, but not so much from the client perspective when they view it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."

"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."

"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."

"The solution offers high performance."

"They integrated it with the SAP router."

"Internal workflow approval around ESS and MSS leave days, capex approval as well as internal communication to the business have improved the way my organization functions."

"From the use of this solution, we have been able to establish better processes and have greater management of our company."

"Workflow functionality and internal portal capabilities are the most important features."

Cons

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

"External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement."

"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly."

"Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations."

"We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities."

"Due to our business, some setups were very complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."

"SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive."

"The cost of this solution is high."
