Expensive and Complicated Software **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Danelle H. | Administrative Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2019 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** SAP can be very useful, in the right setting. It has methods to track just about every aspect of business and function. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** In my opinion, SAP is way too expensive, and way too complicated. Any software that needs constant on-going support to use, is more of a liability than an asset. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** I would analyze your other options. SAP has been a much bigger time and financial investment than even the most liberal predictions expected. Honestly, I cannot think of an organization that would "need" this software. Everything this platform does, another platform can do without the time and money sink. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Honestly, I see SAP causing more confusion and issues than solving problems. Our organization was using SAP to track almost every aspect of business and MDM, but due to the outrageous cost and constant need for support, we have began to implement a plan to move away from this platform. ### 9. SAP NetWeaver **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cody G. | EH&S Environmental Technician, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2019 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** I love that the program offers the user the ability to manage several jobs at once. This allows for the user to have the chance to get a lot of work done in a proficient and efficient manner. I also think that the program is useful when it comes to allowing a company to move forward and have better revenue intakes because with a good working system a company can only continue to move forward and make money. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The one issue that I have with the program is that it does not allow for more then 6 windows to be open, so it makes it a challenge when you have to use multiple pages to get a job done. I also do not enjoy when the program times out when you are away for too long that is an issue because it then requires me the user to have to restart his work and that can have an effect on the productivity of work done. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Like I said before SAP NetWeaver has allowed the company I work for to have the ability to work proficiently and have the ability to manage large loads of work with ease. i highly recommend the program to anyone or any company that is looking to upgrade their systems with a program that gets the job done. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** SAP NetWeaver has allowed the company I work for to have the ability to work proficiently and have the ability to manage large loads of work with ease. I think that being efficient is one of the most important things for a company to consider and with SAP NetWeaver the company I work for is able to preform the jobs and tasks that are required for them to be a profitable company. ### 10. Easy and Customizable **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jolie V. | Production Assistant, Food & Beverages, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2019 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** I love how the company can integrate processes and data with our parent company in Spain **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** It would work a lot easier for our company if we were able to have multiple user accounts with different access to documents instead of everything being available. Since we share this account with Spain, much of our U.S. information and Spanish information are merged, which is not ideal for us. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Invoicing is relatively simple. Having the ability to upload documents that varies departments can easily access is a major plus. ### 11.

Allows for grouping **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The way it looks. Looks old and is not intuitive at first. Also opens a lot of windows **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mostly employment information. I’m a user that takes content from it ### 21.

I use it to track our companies equipment, which the program seems very efficient to use. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The thing I dislike the most is the learning curve associated with this software.

It will help a lot! **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking purchases and serial numbers. ### 22. Works fine but yet to improve a lot **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** sudheer b. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2018 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** It's very well integrated with SAP backend ERP/BI,other systems. Lot can be done easily on top of netweaver. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The User interface is very obsolete, SAP should have worked on making the UI much more friendly and especially make it mobile friendly. They missed the boat big time. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've provided SAP netweaver portal for our external customers for all the b2b operations. Benefit is that though it's well connected to SAP backend systems the external user are not quite hitting the backend systems directly and hence the load and performance works well on the core systems. ### 23. Tool for handling end to end process **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2018 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** The integration between different flows can never be replaced with any other application. It has been developed to the core level and you can navigate from the start of a process to end of process, without even getting deviated. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The UI is still old styled and it has to be improved. It really looks dull and not catchy. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Provide importance to UI. Need to come up with a better design and better editor. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Handling the whole sales and procurement . The integration between different modules and the navigation has been very useful to all the users. ### 24. Netweaver review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2018 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** NetWeaver is a great application and framework .. I started admiring SAP products after NetWeaver was introduced **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** It's not still a full grown internet application, I want to see it like or more than Peoplesoft internet architecture where as everything is done through the internet application. However with SAP S/4 HANA you can still do this but this doesn't have SAP NetWeaver flavor, it looks like another cloud application. I don't see much of future for NetWaver after S/4 HANA installations are increasing among customers **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** I am not sure the scope of future Net Weaver after 7.5 since SAP is promoting more on S/4 HANA and from last techED I understood that SAP is not investing further on SAP ECC and I assume it is same for Netweaver **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** PI , BW are main components that we use in NetWeaver ### 25. Excellent data base **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raymundo J. | Empleado en prácticas, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** Its a very complete software, you need to know what to do there because it has a lot of functions, once you know the software it turns very simple and helpful for your company because you have all the information there. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** In the beginning if gets a bit hard to know what to do, you need to read and practice a lot to familiarize with the software. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** I will recommend you to read a lot of SAP, you can take a course or may be some videos would help you to learn about SAP, then with your manager you will learn the things that he/she wants but at the beginning you should learn by yourself. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Im helping my manager creating purchase orders and some financial stuff, we have studied a lot of project management because we need those concepts in our area. ### 26. Bad bad bad. We have to use it for a simple job and it fails miserably. **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** Honestly nothing. I have never seen such a crude product. It could be the specific implementation at my current working place but this is really bad. Having said that of course the implementation that we have is so traditional that it is really self-explanatory to use the provided UI. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** There are several UI issues when using multiple browsers. Something might work in IE and not in Chrome etc. Also the UI produced is very very outdated and looks like it came from the early 00s. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Please make sure you try before you buy. Try to see an actual implementation, a real use case, and try to use it from a user perspective before you decide to go that way. Try to do some simple things and try to do them using multiple browsers. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** HR Leave management, compensations. ### 27. Better than AS400 **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2018 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** Customizable menus keep transactions organized. Easy to search for new transactions. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** Sometimes searches within transactions can be difficult to navigate. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it for a large portion of our purchase and maintenance processes. It can help keep PM schedules on track. ### 28. Good Data base **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gerardo V. | Internship, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** I like that you can do a lot of things in just one program like the purchase orders and how to pay to your vendors also it saves everything about them like the name, country and address **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** the thing i dislike the most about SAP is that is kinda difficult to get used to, there are so many transactions that i haven't used but will probably need in the near future **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Read all you can of the SAP manuals, also google is your best friend when you have any question about the different transactions that are in SAP, It isn't easy to fully learn all of SAP but just be patient **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** helping my manager to create purchase orders and check that the vendors are paid ### 29. Organized, comprehensive, smooth workflow **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Chemicals | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** SAP maintains and processes large bits of data while still being user friendly. Once you have some familiarity with the front-end it is very simply to view and manipulate large masses of data. Changing data on an particular item is simple. There are a number of fields for entering data for an item. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The software offers many many options which are overly complex for our needs. It is relatively ugly, with dull colors, type writer font, and has a generally early 90's appearance. If you want to paste a list into a field, only about 8 fields show up, so if you copy say 20 items from an excel spreadsheet, only the first 8 will paste. Sometimes the error wording is ambiguous. It would be nice if you could look up a list of maintenance plans or work orders for a particular functional location - there is no good way to see a list of all of the maintenance plans or work orders for your area of responsibility. There is no "work order due date" There are about 8 date options for maintenance plans, but we operation by "due date" so this makes things difficult. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Great for large businesses and large amounts of data but small business managing lesser data and not requiring a global data collection could probably benefit from smaller solution packages. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use NetWeaver for managing equipment and preventative maintenance. ### 30. end user ok experience **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marge T. | Program Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** Able to use for many users, most of my coworkers use it **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** Can't make it specific to a person or record without using roles. We want to be able to show specific icons based on the field values of the current record. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** For general use, this is a decent product, if you need to show specific icons based on the field value(s) of the current record then you might want to consider a different product. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** log time on timesheets for payroll calculations and reporting ### 31. Very Poor experience, not happy with switch **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** The only positive I can really think of is the ability to capture experimental work done prior to finalizing specifications, but the system is so time consuming to use that we don't make much use of this feature. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** - Very, very slow - No undo feature - cannot see access privileges of end user accounts - not able to use as a real development tool - areas to capture notes and information are very hidden so are not typically used, no way to make notes on formulas - difficult and time consuming to upload documents and attach to specifications (these tasks must be done separately) - all of the character limits on in-program messages prevent communication within the system / usage of the workflow inboxes, and everything must be communicated in e-mail **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to use this as R&D notebooks to capture history on the development process for products (not going very well), and then also to set up final product specifications. ### 32. Terrible UI and difficult to deploy new patches **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zhanbolat A. | Application Development Engineer, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** It covers all potential processes. Easy to customize and adapt it in accordance with your needs **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** It has terrible UI. It seems like the UI got stuck in 90s. Additionally, it is very difficult to apply patches. All patches should be deployed in certain order and it is easy to miss a patch. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** To improve entire architecture **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using for Solution Manager, FI and MM. ### 33. Necessary Evil **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2018 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** I know exactly how to use it. The training my company provided was helpful in my learning the system. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The system is incredibly slow. It takes an obscene amount of time to log my time. We should have a job number specifically for logging our time. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Only if you must. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping track of hours and billing clients accordingly. Keeping track of PTO accrued and used. ### 34. Needs updating, this is old technology **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Frank "Mac" S. | Capital Project Engineer, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** Relatively easy to use once you learn it. Not a very steep learning curve. With a thorough guide to explain all the features, it would not be that difficult to learn. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** Not intuitive, but not hard either. Old outdated system. The system feels sluggish to operate but that may be due to network speeds at your location. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** Good product overall. Tried and tested. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** Plant maintenance and reliability data tracking. ### 35. Powerful tool after you know how to print reports from it. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rafael S. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** It is a tool where you can find, organize and filter information really easily. It allows to export information to be used in softwares like excel. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** It is not intuitive to learn which report to request from the software when you are starting to learn the tool. The interface could be more user friendly. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** It is a really good tool, but before buying it make sure you adquire the packages that will be right for your need. Since they offer different subsets of tools. Each subset is focused in a particular area. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used the tool to compute how long and how many times the machines in the production line would stop because of required maintenance. Also the tool was used to schedule the stops required for predictive maintenance. You can quickly find out the information you need. ### 36. Master Data Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sharum N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** SAP NetWeaver is a product that has been around for a long time and has been proved. Also the simplicity of managing master data using MDM with NetWeaver. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** Being part of the SAP NW the MDM has to have its own Infrastructure setup which drives the cost of implementation. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have many legacy systems with their own master data. Managing them with one application allows us to better manage our data. ### 37. The one stop place for the usual SAP stuff **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sagnik M. | Associate Consultant - SAP HCM, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** The application is comparatively light-weight. There are other ways to do all the SAP related stuff (from configurations to ABAP codes) but this application is tried and tested, and it has been there for years. It is a bit boring, but it gets the job done efficiently. I cannot imagine using SAP functionalities using a web browser. If the internet connection is fast and the required VPNs are configured properly, then NetWeaver works effortlessly. **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** The interface is old-school. The user experience is not at all nice, if you compare it with a recent IDE, Moreover, there are problems with the connectivity at times - it gets disconnected. There are a couple of times when the application stops responding but that is majorly because of data overload. **Recommendations to others considering SAP NetWeaver:** There are other (poor) alternatives to SAP NetWeaver but nothing comes close to it. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** SAP NetWeaver is the base application. So we can practically work on anything. I'm working on an application which involves pulling the Human Resource data from NetWeaver and showing it in the browser with some added functionalities.

For example, in order to look at a part's drawing number or status, and then print any 'where used' BOMs, one has to completely leave and then reenter SAP using different searches. There are better ways to integrate and organize information. SAP makes finding information very difficult. There are often multiple numbers given to the same purchased part simply because it's such a long task to search through SAP's stock. **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** SAP is used to organize all engineering parts, assemblies, BOMs and procedures. Once you have learned how to use SAP, it successfully keeps track of tens of thousands of parts. ### 42. hana in memory **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jun G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2017 **What do you like best about SAP NetWeaver?** a consolidated tool for all developers and administrators **What do you dislike about SAP NetWeaver?** hard to remember all the codes and sometimes for setup **What problems is SAP NetWeaver solving and how is that benefiting you?** speed up ### 43.
