Technical Manager at Secude

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.

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…

SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver. In NetWeaver, unlike in S4, the dialogue processes do not heal on their own if the system becomes occupied. This can lead to system performance issues as there is no buffer for further users. On the other hand, S4 automatically manages load balancing and does not allow dialogue processes to use more than 80 percent of the system, leaving the remaining 20 percent for other users. This logic is not present in NetWeaver, which could have been beneficial had it been implemented in S4.

SAP NetWeaver Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Technical Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees	5.0	No summary available
Planner at Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation	4.5	We use SAP NetWeaver mainly for human capital management, including appraisals and document signing. The platform's human capital management module is valuable, but it lacks user-friendliness and needs a more customizable interface to improve interaction.
Senior Technical Specialist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees	3.5	We installed NetWeaver to meet specific business needs, successfully integrating it with export systems. It performs efficiently, though system performance issues arise due to the lack of automatic load balancing, unlike the more advanced S4 solution.
Senior SAP-ABAP Lead Consultant at Ernst & Young	5.0	As an integrator for SAP NetWeaver, I'm involved in its integrations and find features like SAP Connectors valuable. However, maintenance needs improvement, especially with CPU considerations. Recent versions, including SAP CPI, offer better cloud connectivity compared to older ones.
Senior Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees	4.5	I've been using SAP NetWeaver for its excellent integration capabilities, notably with FI, SD, and MM modules, and appreciate its enhanced user experience. However, it lacks the transformation focus of SAP S/4HANA, and customizations sometimes cause stability issues.
Technical Lead at Axalta Coating Systems	3.5	I create connections to central queries for my customers using SAP NetWeaver. It would be beneficial if the prerequisites, such as driver installations, were included by default to simplify establishing a NetWeaver connection. Other solutions were not considered.
SAP technical consultant at N	4.0	SAP NetWeaver is a robust software offering an efficient integration framework with other SAP products. However, regular updates could enhance its stability and capabilities.
Director at Shirostreet	4.0	We use SAP NetWeaver primarily for business software. The integration features are valuable, but the product documentation could be improved. We haven't considered other solutions or cloud providers, and there's no data on ROI at the moment.
