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…

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 Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

"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 solution offers excellent stability."

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

"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."

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

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

"With SAP, you can trust what it tells you."

"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."

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

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

"The integration feature is valuable."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Technical support response time was slow."

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

"The initial setup was not very easy."

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

"The product documentation can be improved."

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

"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 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."

More SAP NetWeaver cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"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."

"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."
