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.

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 backup retention was pretty good, and being able to archive users who had been backed up is good functionality because even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."
"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."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"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."
"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 solution is scalable."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Finance and distribution are the most important features."
"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."
"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products."

"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 isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
"SAP isn't particularly user-friendly and you have to develop a long list of favorites to be able to get around."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"SAP NetWeaver is still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."
"There could be regular updates to make the system more stable and capable."
"The setup process will be complex for any customer because they have to automate all their business processes fully into SAP 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."
"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

"It's a very expensive solution."
