Lightweight and efficient solution
It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

A highly scalable solution capable of being used in enterprise-sized businesses
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers excellent stability."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The solution is scalable."
"Finance and distribution are the most important features."
"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."
"The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten."
"We can use different transaction codes to check the performance of the system, and if we are unable to access a particular transaction, we can still check the table to see what is happening."
"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."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"Has become somewhat unstable recently."
"Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement."
"Technical support response time was slow."
"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."
"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."
"It can always improve. It should have the ability to connect with other databases. It was a little bit tough to do that. I would like to have the ability to research certain markets and then integrate it with NetWeaver. I'd like to compare it with other databases from other companies being used in the world so we can integrate it with our own products to compare if we are still current on the market."
"SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
 

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