  • It is reliable and also supports different OS like windows , Linux etc
  • We can host on cloud also like GCP,AWS,Azure etc or even on premise as well
  • Default memory management is very good, we donot need to worry about memory parameters until we face critical issue. SAP manages memory usage quite well.

Cons

  • sometimes in linux OS we face several issues during start and stop. Sometimes Zombie process still exists after clean shutdown that time we need to manually kill those processes otherwise it might not start properly. Here SAP can improve.

Return on Investment

  • SAP is best in terms of ERP software and ERP is installed on top off SAP Netweaver.
  • Best value for money and we get lots of patch from SAP and also resolution Notes from SAP if there is any issue. SAP does lots of RND and very active on that.
  • Best support team and incident management is there so if we are stuck we can easily get support from SAP dedicated team.
