It enables rapid application and workflow creation while still allowing developers to extend functionality when needed. The seamless integration with SAP systems and SAP BTP makes it powerful for building scalable, business-ready solutions quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation of SAP Build is that while it’s powerful for low-code development, complex customizations can sometimes feel restrictive compared to full-code frameworks. Debugging and deep-level control over performance tuning may also be limited. Additionally, heavy reliance on the SAP ecosystem can make integrations with non-SAP systems slightly more challenging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Build is a standout in the enterprise space because it bridges the gap between powerful back-end systems and the people who actually use them. It essentially turns SAP’s "heavy machinery" into a set of "digital LEGOs." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tend to be most impressed by how the platform lowers the barrier to entry for business experts, but I also find the "low-code wall" frustrating when a project demands a hyper-specific UI tweak that the standard components just won't allow. While I appreciate the seamless way it handles SAP "Clean Core" extensions, I often wish the debugging process was more transparent and less of a scavenger hunt through vague error logs. It’s a powerful bridge for the SAP ecosystem, yet that "walled garden" feel can make it feel surprisingly rigid the moment you try to step outside of a standard enterprise workflow.

I like the speed, simplicity, and perfect integration with SAP in SAP Build. The ability to start with a simple prototype and develop it into a full-fledged process is very valuable. I can quickly turn a business idea into a working solution without complex setup. The connection with SAP helps to work with data quickly and directly. The initial setup was also quite simple for me.

What I like most about SAP Build is that it finally lets me create small internal tools without waiting weeks for IT. The interface feels simple enough that I can drag things around and actually see my ideas turning into a working app. I also like that everything connects to our SAP data without complicated setup — it just feels natural if you already work inside the SAP ecosystem. Another big plus is how fast I can test ideas: I can build a quick version in the morning, get feedback from my team, and update it the same day. The platform maintains a consistent design system which enables me to create professional-looking applications without requiring design skills. The system provides automation features which help us reduce our need for manual work. The tool provides me with enhanced work performance and self-governance capabilities which eliminate my need for external support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike is that the platform can feel slow when the project gets bigger. The platform performance decreases because it takes longer to process larger projects. The system performance slows down because it needs to handle more complex projects. The system performance slows down because it needs to handle more complex projects.

I really like the low code no code approach of SAP Build, which makes it easy for developers to create bots and apps efficiently, even without previous experience. This feature is great for onboarding new developers smoothly. I also appreciate the prepackaged bots provided for SAP S/4HANA, as they streamline integration and save effort. Additionally, being native to SAP makes it easier to integrate with other SAP products, which is a clear advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Build strikes a good balance between speed, standardization, and enterprise scalability, which is why it works well in complex SAP landscapes.

Integration with SAP ecosystem

Faster time to value: Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Troubleshooting issues (especially in automations or integrations) is less transparent compared to traditional development tools.

Applications built heavily on SAP Build are tightly coupled to SAP BTP, which can limit portability or future platform flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool makes life much easier for testers like me. Setting up workflows and automating simple testing tasks is straightforward, and I don’t have to rely on developers or deal with complex coding. The drag-and-drop interface allows me to quickly build functional apps or establish approval processes for my test cases. It’s a real time-saver, particularly when I’m managing repetitive tasks during sprints. Integration with other SAP tools is seamless, letting me access live data whenever I need it. All in all, the tool is very intuitive and genuinely enjoyable to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the customization options feel somewhat limited, especially when I need to perform more advanced testing or automate tasks that fall outside the usual workflows. While it’s straightforward for basic use cases, things become challenging if I want to connect to external APIs or set up more sophisticated automation—sometimes it just isn’t possible. I’ve also noticed that the documentation is very helpful for beginners, but it tends to become vague when you’re trying to accomplish something outside the standard scenarios. It would be great if there were more flexibility for development and testing teams who want to dive deeper into integration or scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Build is best because it lets teams quickly create apps, workflows, and automations without changing SAP’s core system, which keeps upgrades safe while dramatically speeding up delivery. It enables business users and functional consultants to build approvals, forms, and simple applications themselves, reducing dependency on developers, while still maintaining governance, security, and SAP UX standards. By running side-by-side with S/4HANA on SAP BTP, SAP Build allows companies to extend SAP cleanly and efficiently, combining enterprise stability with the speed and flexibility usually seen in modern low-code platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides of SAP Build are that it has limited flexibility for complex business logic and performance-heavy scenarios, meaning advanced calculations, highly customized rules, or large-scale data processing still require traditional ABAP or custom development. Licensing and SAP BTP costs can also be high, making it less attractive for smaller teams or simple use cases, and effective use still requires a solid understanding of SAP processes to avoid poorly designed solutions. Additionally, while it accelerates development, it can create long-term dependency on SAP’s ecosystem and tooling, reducing portability and making migrations away from SAP more difficult.

It can feel restrictive in more complex scenarios. Debugging messages aren’t always clear, and handling complex logic sometimes requires small workarounds. In some cases, you also need external code when requirements go beyond the standard workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about SAP Build is how it simplifies application development, even for those without extensive coding experience. The drag-and-drop interface is very intuitive, enabling me to quickly create both functional prototypes and complete applications. I use SAP Build several times a week to design process automations and straightforward apps that connect to SAP S/4HANA or SuccessFactors. For instance, I developed a small approval app for leave requests that went live in just two days—something that would have taken much longer using traditional development methods. The implementation process is straightforward, and integration with other BTP services works seamlessly. Whenever I need help with specific components, customer support and documentation are reliable resources. SAP Build not only saves time but also fosters collaboration between business and IT, giving consultants like me the flexibility to deliver fast results without sacrificing quality.

What I dislike about SAP Build is that, while it’s powerful, it still has some limitations when you need to go beyond standard functionality. For example, creating complex logic sometimes requires custom scripting, and the editor can feel a bit restricted compared to full development tools. Also, the number of available components could be expanded, especially for UI customization. The first setup of the environment takes some time, and if you are new to the SAP ecosystem, it can be a bit confusing at the beginning. I once had issues with versioning an automation project, and it took a while to find the correct solution through documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
