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."

"Finance and distribution are the most important features."

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

"The human capital management module is valuable."

"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."

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

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The integration feature is valuable."

"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."

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 NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."

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

"Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement."

"The product documentation can be improved."

"The initial setup was not very easy."

"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."

"Technical support response time was slow."

"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."
