Pros

  • It helps to save a lot of time within the company due to its easy integration with other workable software. What I love the most about it is its flexibility and real time applications.

  • Lots of features , links with microsoft AD, seems robust and fast, only three months of experience, nice cube like functionality.

  • With SAP NetWeaver, you can design beautiful interfaces and create attractive SAP solutions. With SAP NetWeaver you can also significantly increase usability.

  • This is my job, actually. I like the way SAP is based on NetWeaver because it's a very good and stable platform.

Cons

  • The resolution of errors is not simple and depending on the urgency it can become a bigger problem.

  • The process to reverse an error is a bit tedious and it signs out too quickly during idle time.

  • Its hard to find the pieces and parts, you have to right click and look under menus, needs a search with instructions on how to get to a place.

  • Not all companies work with a standard model. The master data management have to be concentrated in only one person, if not you can have some troubles.

"It's a really good system but it's not easy to use."

Pros: - It's a data history buffer. - Facilitate interdepartmental communication, because the data it's in one place. - You can use it in multiple ways, from RRHH to Logistics. - Better control in the areas. - You can control your process, even productive problems. - Every user has a responsability, if something go wrong you can know who did it. - The system has access control, not everyone can modify the data or configuration. - The system is separated by modules. For example: Production Planning (PP), Material Managment (MM). - You have a great variety of transaction that you can use in multiples ways. - You can share and modify your data easily. (Just in PP or MM not master data) - You can customize reports according your requirements. - Align Processes.

Cons: -It's not a easy to use tool, if you don't have a trainning could be hard. - The price is a little high to a standar model. - The support it's a little hard to find and you have to practice a lot if you want to maximize the use. - Not all companies work with a standard model. - The master data management have to be concentrated in only one person, if not you can have some troubles. - The profiles permissions can be a hard work.

"SAP NetWeaver: Powerful integration with a steep learning curve"

Overall: using SAP NetWeaver can be both powerful and challenging. Its strength lies in its ability to integrate diverse business processes and systems seamlessly, making it a cornerstone for enterprise-wide IT environments. On the other hand, it requires a significant investment in time and resources to master it.

Pros: SAP has a robust integration capabilities, allowing seamless connectivity between SAP and non-SAP apps. Its flexibility in supporting various business processes across different environments is a major plus.

Cons: maybe its complexity, particularly during the initial setup and configuration phases. The learning curve can be steep, especially for those without prior SAP experience, which can lead to extended implementation times and increased costs.

"Mature and Reliable ERP Solution"

Overall: This is my job, actually. I like the way SAP is based on NetWeaver because it's a very good and stable platform. It works all the time and when there is a problem, it's easier to fix than it would be in other ERPs' framework, like purely Java or C.

Pros: SAP NetWeaver is the platform behind the SAP ERP, it has the ABAP and Java stack which makes everything works. It works very well and has a good support for customization. The SAP support is also really good. You can find consultants to help you all around the world.

Cons: Sometimes it can be a little slow, because of how some functions are handled, but you can quickly test with performance tools and adapt your function to work properly. It's not a big con. I think it's maturity has overpassed many gaps that used to be there in the past.

"Sap NetWeaver: a good tool for big and small companies"

Pros: sap integrates with various interfaces. helps in management and with the right automation can save a lot of time for employees. the few steps needed to perform some functions and the clean interface are also plus points.

Cons: it takes a lot of training to master the tool which for new users can be a problem. Also, I believe that external support is always necessary, which makes it more expensive to manage the tool. the resolution of errors is not simple and depending on the urgency it can become a bigger problem

"Nice optimistic presentation with NetWeaver"

Pros: With SAP NetWeaver, you can design beautiful interfaces and create attractive SAP solutions. With SAP NetWeaver you can also significantly increase usability.

Cons: With the conversion to FIORI, the original SAP system is now also brought to a decent surface, which raises the question of whether in the future, SAP NEtWeaver will still be needed to this extent.

"Easily customizable HR information system."

Pros: I like that how many categories of information you can include, and that they're customizable to your needs.

Cons: It can be difficult to scroll through information or down lists. It's not smooth, but kind of jumpy. That may only be my experience with the web browser version.
