ABP Commercial vs. SAP Business Technology Platform

If you are building a simple web application and want to bypass all of the basic building blocks (authentication & authorization, multi-tenant, etc, etc.), then ABP Commercial will allow you to do this very quickly with their tooling. It is also an excellent tool if you are building a large complicated SAAS product, as long as you are willing to invest the time required to understand the 'why' behind their architectural decisions and follow their methods throughout your development.

We use SAP Business Technology Platform for the vast majority of our data visualisation and analytical work. The kind of complex report we produce with it can only be displayed using this reporting tool. Two of my favourite aspects are the simplicity with which data can be displayed on it and the adaptability with which settings can be changed to meet specific needs.

• Documentation
• Premium theme
• Basic modules

• It provides end to end solution to build and run any applications
• It provides development tool like business application studio which is best and we can access it from anywhere.
• There are many in built services are available which we can bind to our application and use it functionality with no code.

• More modules are always welcomed

• Expand the standard integration with S4Hana bringing all tables, such as maintenance plans, task lists, etc.
• Expand the standard integration with APM (asset performance management). Ability to create BTP “items/events” from an APM alert for example.
• Add more options to UI.

Just now I start to build of a solution for our Business Partner for whom We start to use SAP BTP as a platform for development and deployment which is very easy to use with the help of SAP BTP tools.

I would rate the availability as very high (of course, it can vary depending on multiple factors)

we encountered a couple of issues related to the performance (e.g. complex reports based on the integration with BW)

I have given this rating because there are points that need to be improved with the Support of the SAP Business Technology Platform. Given that there are lots of components and parts within a low-code platform, often there would be a turnaround whether a certain issue is related to the Platform or the Infrastructure.

it was rather standard SAP Online training. In some cases, our team dug up info on their own. in a very few cases, we received direct reccomendations from SAP

1. Sometimes the licensing doesn’t make sense, e.g., Difficult to understand the license for ABAP cloud runtime. 2. When SAP Business Technology Platform workflow cost is very high but process automation which offers more features has less cost.

We have used the plain cloud foundry variant also, and there were many problems we faced while running applications on cloud foundry. We have also used the GCP platform to run our applications here also faced many problems. SAP BTP services and integration of service are strong points to consider it.

no, I understand how it works and don't want to change anything

SAP BTP is built on a cloud infrastructure that provides inherent scalability. Cloud platforms, such as SAP Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), offer elastic and scalable resources. Organizations can scale up or down their infrastructure, including computing, storage, and networking, based on demand.SAP BTP follows a consumption-based model where organizations can consume services as needed. The platform offers various services, such as integration, analytics

I would say that we are satisfied with the professional services that our third-party partner is providing (they help with implementation, support, and other stuff like this).

• We have a small team, and ABP Commercial has allowed us to build a SAAS application that is feature-rich in much less time than if we built everything from scratch.
• ABP Commercial continues to provide benefits with every update. Keeping current on new versions of dependencies (such as .NET) requires a fraction of the work on our end since ABP Commercial updates the base framework and we can leverage that work. This was a HUGE benefit when IdentityServer4 changed from Open Source to a very expensive commercial license.

• Surprisingly, SAP has increased our manual human efforts to do our daily tasks through automation.
• Due to the workflow and automation power betterment, now, after each release, our IT Team is able to configure more complex implementations without writing much of the code.
• Thanks to small code implementation and easy deployment which has overall reduced time we took to release new features for our end user.
