n8n vs. SAP NetWeaver BPM

It is simply great for replacing manual and repetitive tasks, as well as for more complex ones where you need to work a little bit harder to get the whole process well represented inside the app. It is an excellent app for learning how to build agents using AI, going from simple to more complex solutions as you evolve.

It is well suited when we need to integrate business processes with SAP ERP and SAP CRM - the solution can be integrated with business rules/procedures defined in SAP ERP/CRM and NetWeaver can be used to monitor the rules and flag off exceptions. When there are multiple workflows running, it tends to slow down running of these processes. Also, it entirely depends on SAP portal for it to run efficiently.

• Virtual paper trail. Iterations of process and current documentation are all stored as "artifacts", leaving a great trail.
• Configuration of users. BPM somewhat magically determines which users will be impacted and automates rules.
• A pro (that is also a con) is the design interface. If you know what you are doing, it is incredibly powerful and malleable.

• It should have a community node marketplace
• it should also show the execution while its running instead of showing when its completed

• Live readings would be nice.
• Easier to maneuver
• Work with all systems with the press of one keystroke

As a big fan of SAP in general, the BPM solution fits right in with all the other things SAP does well, and does it with incredible efficiency

The learning curve of the app is a little too steep for new users, especially those users who are not very familiar with technology and maybe coding. Nothing that can't be reached if you choose to use YouTube to learn more. It might be hard at first, but it can save you many hours, and your current job will get a lot easier with it.

We have our own tech support for systems, I would say they probably could use more training on it, I don't really think it's anything regarding the SAP system, but more the knowledge they have on the system itself. It seems to take longer for them to fix any issues we may come across.

n8n gives more freedom to use and do whatever I want. Make was a bit too stiff and limited to try to make the UX more friendly. But I prefer capability over friendliness in this specific scenario.

I found the initial setup of NetWeaver is much simpler than other products especially in an SAP environment where we have SAP ERP/HRM/CRM as it can be well integrated with other SAP products. The only drawback is the need/dependency on SAP Portal. It is better suited in an environment where SAP ERP is running.

• Ever since I started using n8n workflow - I have saved so much time
• The amount of leads we are getting has drastically increased
• n8n has lead to increase in my business revenue
• it has also given me the opportunity to get creative without the need of coding.

• Helped us harness integrated benefit from having SAP ERP/CRM by leveraging NetWeaver to define business processes/rules and monitor exceptions
• Did not have any negative experience except for the fact that at times when multiple rules run, it can be somewhat slow
