SAP Build Reviews & Product Details

SAP Build offers an enhanced level of security by ensuring that users can only access the Fiori tiles assigned to them, without granting access to the backend system. I find this security feature particularly valuable, as in the backend system, users would need to enter transaction codes to open any business application. With SAP Build, however, users can simply view the Fiori tiles on their dashboard, making access more controlled and secure.

The support provided by SAP Consultants for any issue is quite slow, and at times I have to wait more than three to four weeks just to receive a response. Additionally, the documentation for SAP Build, when using SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud as the backend system, contains inaccuracies, which makes the experience even worse.

SAP Build is extremely helpful for rapidly developing internal prototypes and workflow mock-ups without the need for developer involvement. From an EUDR perspective, it enables us to visualize incremental process improvements, outline internal approval workflows, and experiment with how specific compliance steps might appear before they are actually implemented in SAP or other platforms. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface simplifies the creation of basic dashboards and forms, making it easier for teams to track data movement and understand the flow of due-diligence tasks. This not only saves time but also enhances communication between business users and IT, particularly when we need to confirm new requirements for EUDR processes.

Some components remain limited and often necessitate workarounds when constructing more complex scenarios. Integration with other SAP modules is not always smooth, so projects that go beyond basic prototypes typically still need IT support. Performance can fluctuate based on the project's size, and some features could use greater flexibility or more customization options. While it is a robust tool for rapid iterations, it does not serve as a substitute for fully developed SAP applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rapid test tooling without waiting on backend teams. With Build Apps I can drag-drop a small UI, bind it to an OData/REST service, and ship a functional “test harness” in an afternoon. Our “Return Order Generator” for QA came from this, zero boilerplate, just data variables and logic canvas.

Process Automation that stitches end-to-end flows. Timers, webhooks, approvals, and RPA steps let me seed data, kick off background jobs, and verify statuses before CI starts UI runs.

Reusable artifacts & clean promotion. Pages, data models, and automations are reusable across projects, and promoting between dev -> test -> prod via transports keeps things consistent.

Governance that doesn’t get in my way. Role-based access, change history, and environment-scoped credentials make audits easy while still letting me iterate quickly.

Observability when something breaks. Run logs, input/output traces, and retry queues make it straightforward to pinpoint flaky integrations during test setup.

Tight fit with SAP ecosystems. OData bindings and BTP integration reduce glue code, which means fewer failure points in test scaffolding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging complex flows can feel opaque. Step-through is limited, errors sometimes read like “node X failed” without enough context.

Versioning & reviews aren’t as natural as Git. Collaborating and doing code-style PRs is clunkier in a low-code canvas.

Custom code escape hatches exist, but feel bolted on. Great for 90% cases; the last 10% needs more ergonomic extensibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about this platform is the ability to build an app without much or no knowledge of coding. It enables individuals to implement their smart ideas into a running application. This greatly improves the quality of work and individuals. Like all SAP products , its robust SAP ecosystem promotes the overall functionality and security of this platform. The integration issues faced from 3rd party platform is solved with its vast resources. The realization of objectives is faster and productivity increases by using this platform. The automation created through the application created by this platform allows optimum allocation of resources for better efficiency and productivity. The platform allows monitoring of the workflow very easy which is another plus point of this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of building powerful application comes with a cost. Though I love most part of this platform, I felt that the cost of building an application may spiral out of the budget with its connector costs. Frankly speaking the user also needs a clear thought out process to build an application. The user should develop a knowledge of each potential integration platform and its applications to enable users to be more effective in using this platform. Since the platform is mostly focused and build around SAP ecosystem, SAP needs to do a continuous update to compete equally with various other individual platform which does its best in their own individual field.

It's a big name brand trusted by big corporate clients of ours. So we have reassurance of it.

We have been using over 6 years now.

It seems very secure with 2FA and the forget password is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not user friendly nor intuitive at all.

Also when starting on work. There isn't a save "draft" option. Meaning in the middle of work. You could potentially lose work due to the Cloud based. This can be frustrating and stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about SAP Build is its ability to accelerate application development with minimal coding required. It empowers both technical and business users to create applications, automate processes, and design workflows without the need to start from the ground up. This capability greatly shortens development timelines and enables teams to adapt swiftly to evolving business demands.

Another significant benefit is its seamless integration with SAP systems and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). This integration facilitates the extension of existing SAP solutions in a secure and controlled manner, ensuring alignment with standard SAP architecture. In summary, SAP Build effectively connects business requirements with IT delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the primary limitations of SAP Build is its flexibility. Although it is effective for simple to moderately complex use cases, it may seem limiting for advanced scenarios that demand extensive customization or intricate logic. As applications expand, maintaining performance and design consistency can become increasingly difficult. Additionally, there is a learning curve for users unfamiliar with low-code concepts, and licensing costs could pose a challenge for smaller teams or projects.

SAP Build shines because it democratises development. Using intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces, prebuilt components, workflow automation, and business process connectors, even non-technical users can build apps, automate processes, and design experiences with minimal coding effort.

The key value is speed + empowerment:

You can prototype very quickly

Business teams aren’t dependent on long development cycles

There is native integration with SAP systems, data models, and workflows

IT still has room for governance and extensibility

Automations and workflows become visual, traceable, and reusable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about SAP Build is that its low-code promise can be deceptive — simple apps are fast to build, but as soon as logic becomes complex or integrations get heavier, you still need technical knowledge, scripting, or developer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
