Frequently Asked Questions

How does Avantra replace SAP Landscape Management (LaMa)?

How does Avantra differ from SAP Solution Manager?

How does Avantra complement Cloud ALM?

Cloud ALM is designed for managing Cloud ERP. The target customer for Cloud ALM is a cloud-centric, cloud-first customer. For SAP customers fully deployed on Cloud ERP only, and especially Cloud ERP Public, Cloud ALM can be an excellent choice for managing SAP.

Avantra integrates with Cloud ALM, providing AIOps across on-premises ECC, S/4HANA and hyperscaler deployments outside the scope of Cloud ALM. Avantra provides a single point of control across all SAP landscapes, anywhere SAP runs, and manages multiple Cloud ALM tenants.

Customers with hybrid SAP environments and customers transitioning to Cloud ERP benefit from Avantra’s flexibility and operational cost efficiency, even when the transition project will ultimately leverage Cloud ALM for SAP operations.
