Overall Satisfaction with SAP Access Control

We use SAP Access Control across the whole organization. It makes user management simple and cost effective. Role management, user management, risk analysis and workflow management are very simple. It can be integrated with IDM and SAP NetWeaver for more cost-effective user management. You can manage business roles and emergency access management easily with SAP Access Control. BRFplus and MSMP functionality make user request/role assignment request approval easier and more convenient.
  • ARA: Access Risk Analysis with global and customized rule set.
  • Emergency access management with well-organized reason code facility for audit.
  • Role development is not that convenient.
  • Initial configuration more complicated.
  • Less effort and manpower needed for user and access management.
  • Workflow design and approval are simpler. Can manage all systems centrally.
Depends on which ERP products your company uses. If your company uses SAP then SAP Access Control fits perfectly. As our company uses SAP systems for all process and business areas we used SAP Access Control. With latest GRC 12 version it is much better with S/4HANA application.

If your organization has 5 or 10 SAP systems then it would be better to use centralize SAP AC/GRC to manage everything together. With a one-time effort all systems can be managed. SAP AC can be connected to HR and Active Directory to pull user data automatically instead of creating everything manually. For end-user usages this tool is more user friendly also. You can also use other add-on services like Process Control and Global Trade Services. The newer version AC 12 tool can be well integrated with S/4HANA for complete access control management.

Initial configuration takes a lot of effort. Otherwise it's a great product for the end user.
