SAP NetWeaver is going to be soon out of the picture. Now we have SAP S/4HANA, which is the recent technology from SAP. Many companies are migrating from SAP NetWeaver to SAP S/4HANA. Going forward, SAP still supports SAP NetWeaver, and it can fully add more functionalities that it is currently adding in the latest versions also. Whichever functions they are adding newly in SAP S/4HANA, they can add it into SAP NetWeaver as so that SAP NetWeaver also does not become obsolete and becomes useful to the customers who are currently using it. SAP has come up with an in-memory database called HANA, and on top of it, SAP has introduced SAP S/4HANA so that it runs seamlessly on the HANA database. SAP NetWeaver can also run on the HANA database, but if the compatibility with HANA database could be improved for SAP NetWeaver, then it will be more useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."

"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"The solution offers excellent stability."

"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."

"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products."

"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 presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step."

"The integration feature is valuable."

"The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten."

Cons

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."

"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."

"Technical support response time was slow."

"The initial setup was not very easy."

"SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."

"The product documentation can be improved."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"The pricing is not so high."

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"

"The licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"SAP NetWeaver requires a license, but I'm not sure how the licenses and payments were coordinated."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"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."
