SAP is retiring Solution Manager in 2027, leaving organizations with a critical question:
How can SAP operations, developments, and requests be managed efficiently and strategically?
Many companies consider SAP Cloud ALM, but it comes with significant limitations:
- Manual landscape registration, no automated discovery.
- Limited ITSM capabilities.
- Simplified change management (no full ChaRM equivalent).
- Minimal source control and custom code repository management.
- Limited Enterprise Architecture and Portfolio Management.
- SAP focused only.
