    SAP Build is a strong and reliable partner with a rich FAQ and consulting power. New features make sense and are easy to distribute within the team and to end users. The community is nice, and there are many discussions on product development, shared solutions, and productivity improvements. UI is also one of the strongest points.

    TLM will be well suited for an organization's recon requirements. If the organization is able to afford the software, it will be worth investing the amount. The support for heterogeneous file formats is one of the key features. It can accept swift and flat files. The config screens for ingesting the data are very user-friendly. Overall the time taken for setting up a new recon is very less. TLM can be improved if they bring in some AI/ML algorithms for improved match rates.

    Cons
    SAP
    • Comparing to other RPA Tools, SAP Build automation lacks enough user guidance.
    • Licensing is a little bit confusing.
    • From a technical perspective, older versions of the automation part are not always stable, but the other services (workflow, business rules, apps, etc.) are much more stable.

    Usability
    SAP
    The overall re-usability is very good for SAP Build app. Rating 9 shows that it is very effectively uses the No code or low code functionality. Drag and drop of UI components is very effective in this SAP Build app. No prior coding experience is needed but to develop some logic flow you need to be very logical and optimistic thinker

    There are, for example, great blog writings about automation cases and examples. The studio version is updated often. There are also useful OpenSAP online courses.

    Seamlessly connected to SAP S4 Hana systems and development and deployment is easy as compared to Microsoft Visual Studio. Low code no code facility is awesome in SAP Build app where as in Visual Studio drag and drop of components is provided but still needs to write bulky code for functionality. Performance is better for SAP Build app.

    Excel was used as a traditional recon tool using macros for matching. There is no room to scale up the recons using excel. The recons are cumbersome and take a lot of time to complete. There are more chances of manual errors. No UI to create a good user experience. Overall all negatives compared to TLM
