The user interface which means GUI is too easy to use. Many user-friendly scripting features reduce the need to write complex scripts. Editing the script is also very easy and too simple like a piece of cake. And we use it for SAP Finance automation. Winshuttle application feasibility with other applications is too good.

Winshuttle helps us to reduce too many manual hours of work. It saves both our employees time and the company resources. It also helps to keep things in compliance, which is so needed for any human resources personnel. I use Winshuttle to do mass data uploads in SAP. Finally, we have now started using this application to automate some of our processes to avoid delays and human mistakes.
  • Easy to use
  • Automation
  • Flexibility
  • Debug option should be improved
Firstly, Before this system was used, I calculated my data on their website to find out how many days I save working days. And the result was the same that they said that's why I chose it. And also being user-friendly and not being complicated and that.

It helps us SAP data be automated and create workflow loops, utilize bulk task reassignment and out-of-office functions, and set up email reminders and notifications to keep processes running on time.

We utilize Winshuttle for both repetitive and ad hoc tasks. We utilize it in our material master process to ensure data integrity. We also use it on projects for data loads such as bringing on a new warehouse. We have super users within the IT area, and out in our production areas. I find the product to be extremely stable, and that enables me to have faith in the runner application which we use also.
  • Mass data loads
  • Repetitive Scripts we can give to the user base
  • Ad Hoc Data pulls
  • More functionality when it comes to looping, and advanced features. Their new product actually will provide some of this.
As long as you have the Function Module loaded it is extremely useful in the workforce.
  • Our licenses have paid for themselves over and over again.
I have used several other products in the last decade. Winshuttle by far was the most stable and easiest to use.

  • Mass Data Maintenance

Change management was minimal
These questions appear to be based on the Workflow design of winshuttle which we don't utilize at this time.
Our design was simple. Originally we implemented two developer licenses, and 2 runner licenses.
This is by far the best support group for an outside vendor I have dealt with. They really care about our issues, and work to resolve them quickly.
We were upgrading our SAP system, and were having a very big issue with Winshuttle. Things had become a little tense, and they elevated the issue quickly and got one of their top guys on to work with our infrastructure team. In about an hour we had figured out the issue.
  • The Recording works great, and there are three different ways to do it.
  • Editing is very easy to do along with mapping
  • Without some basic training you can't maximize the benefits of the tool. Luckily Winshuttle offers the WUG conference where you can get some great startup training.
  • The advanced features need to be learned during training, and Winshuttle does offer training for its customers.
It is very good software, and it is technical software to a point. To use it to its maximum level you have to learn it like any good tool.

Winshuttle is being used by just the IT department at one of my clients. They use it for master data upload most of the time. It helps them load the master data faster especially when they have to make mass changes to some PP/QM/SD/FI master data or create new master data.
  • Easier loading the material master.
  • Easier loading some transaction data like uploading stock, moving stocks between storage location, etc. in mass.
  • Easy to create QM Master Data like MICs etc.
  • Easy to use for standard BAPI's and FM's in SAP with Winshuttle Direct.
  • Cannot be used for custom function modules. It would be great if this feature could be added.
  • Winshuttle Query is a little more difficult to understand and use. It's easier to use standard SAP Query transactions.
  • Winshuttle transaction freezes sometimes during running the dataload and automatically closes. This results in loss of tracking of the data that has been uploaded and data that needs to be uploaded. Need a fix.
  • A better forum/blog to understand the needs.
- Well suited for transactions that can be recorded easily. Better option than LSMW. Also well suited if there are standard BAPI's to create certain master data
- Not suited to create master data like routings, inspection plans, master recipe, maintenance routing, etc. as they can be created in more than one way. Difficult to load the data.
- Also difficult to load characteristics with more than 1 value.
  • Improved data load time and help during plant roll-out projects
  • Improved response time to business to fix master data / transaction data issues
  • Reduced use of external consultant required to build LSMW's.
  • LSMW, eCATT and eMIGALL
- Winshuttle is easy to use. Recording and Mapping of data is simple as compared to complex 14 steps of LSMWs and difficult to use eCATT from SAP.
- Winshuttle is faster and also records all the output messages coming from SAP. This helps when the output data is required to input some other data. It's a cumbersome process to download the data in LSMW.
- The best feature of Winshuttle is using Excel spreadsheets to upload data. All the data can be manipulated easily in Excel and then through Winshuttle.
Yes
SAP LSMW and eCATTS.
- LSMWs and eCATTs require SAP technical knowledge before performing the data loads.
- LSMWs require all the 14 steps to be completed before performing data load which is cumbersome and requires lot of time.
- Most of the time had to hire external consultants to build the LSMWs and eCATTs for data load. This resulted in higher costs as well as slow response time to user issues.
- Output from LSMWs are very difficult to reuse as compared to Winshuttle

Using an Excel sheet directly to upload data with ease of mapping. All the features for a very low cost. When using SAP LSMW we needed to convert the Excel to either .txt or .csv files. Sometime data was getting changed during the conversion especially with the leading zeros. Using Winshuttle I can see what data is being loaded, get output instantly, can run on single record to test easily, map any field from the Excel sheet and manipulate data before loading. Out team is competent in using Excel hence direct loading from Excel made thejob faster resulting in a quick response to user issues with data. It helped improved our delivery.
- Ease of use
- Time required to train user with new tool
- Cost of implementing the new tool
- Data format required by the tool for uploads
- Methods with which dataloads can be performed
- Support provided by the vendor
- Information about the tool available online like review, recommendations, etc.
- Time required for implementation of the new tool
- Training materials provided by the vendor for the new tool.
- Example where the new tool can be used and where it cannot be used
  • Data mapping using Excel
  • Loading any number of data from any sheet in Excel
  • Recording transaction using Winshuttle transaction
  • Saving the output and reusing it for other data loads
  • Self explanatory design helps in easier use of the tool
  • Does not require much of technical SAP knowledge for using the tool
  • Winshuttle Query is more complex than SAP SQVI
  • Cannot use Winshuttle Direct for custom function modules
  • Winshuttle Direct is a little complex and more documentation needs to be provided in case of BAPI's
  • Some transactions like C223 - Create production version are difficult to record and output message are not clear.
  • Cumbersome to load routings, inspection plans and master recipe.
No
- I have used Winshuttle Transaction and Direct and the interface is simple, intuitive and easy to understand.
- Not much technical knowledge of SAP is required before loading the data.
- Data can be loaded for any sheet of an Excel spreadsheet
- Output messages from Winshuttle are very clear and can be used to as an input to other data loads that use these output data.
