SAP users are facing a major challenge: support for SAP Solution Manager, the central tool for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), will be discontinued in 2027. This decision has sparked discussions and uncertainties within the industry. What does this mean for you and your business if you rely on SAP? What alternatives are available, and how can you replace the existing functionality of Solution Manager?
SAP Cloud ALM as an Alternative?
Experts are currently debating potential successors and alternatives. Opinions vary, and there is no definitive solution yet. This uncertainty makes it crucial to explore possible options early on.
One of the most prominent alternatives currently being discussed is SAP Cloud ALM. Let's take a closer look at what SAP Cloud ALM promises:
Shifts ALM processes to the cloud and offers modern features
Enables central management and monitoring of SAP systems in a cloud-based environment
Provides functionalities for project management, test management, and business process monitoring
Facilitates more efficient implementation and operational processes
Benefits of cloud architecture: better scalability, flexibility, and potentially higher reliability
Continuous development will integrate more features and address current gaps over time
Challenges of SAP Cloud ALM
Sounds promising, right? However, SAP Cloud ALM currently cannot fully replace all the functionalities of SAP Solution Manager.
In areas such as IT service management and system monitoring, the solution still has significant gaps. Features like comprehensive incident and problem management, as well as detailed system monitoring familiar from SAP Solution Manager, are currently missing in SAP Cloud ALM. Additionally, important areas like test process automation and the creation of training materials and documentation are not yet fully covered. There's still work to be done.
