Frequently Asked Questions

How do Solution Manager, Cloud ALM and Avantra compare?

In short, they don’t. Solution Manager is a legacy ALM solution for on-premises ECC and S/4HANA implementations. Standard maintenance for Solution Manager ends in 2027, and most customers will face extended maintenance premiums or find other solutions.

Cloud ALM is the next generation ALM solution from SAP, specifically designed for cloud-first, cloud-centric customers. Both Solution Manager and Cloud ALM are designed for mainstream SAP implementations. Cloud ALM is designed for cloud-first, cloud-centric firms with 1-2 Cloud ERP landscapes, often implementing Cloud ERP Public for the first time.

Existing larger enterprises running SAP more commonly have complex existing SAP estates with significant implementations of ECC and S/4HANA and plans for extended migration projects moving to Cloud ERP Private incrementally. For these customers, a solution providing a superset of functionality across monitoring and observability, automation and landscape management, and security and compliance tasks becomes essential. Neither Solution Manager or Cloud ALM provides a whole solution for the large SAP estate in transition.

Avantra is specifically designed to fill this gap, providing comprehensive capabilities to Cloud and existing on-premises ERP from a single solution, providing a larger set of monitoring, automation and security operations capabilities than either individual solution, and with full support for any SAP landscape, anywhere it runs.
