SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies. The product supports Oracle, but I am not aware of what other technologies it supports. If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those.

The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

Room for Improvement

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

Pricing

Service and Support

Customer service and support for SAP Replication Server receive mixed feedback. Some find it very high quality, rating it 10 out of 10, with technical support sometimes perfect. Others experience insufficient support, with instances of delayed responses not meeting expectations. Organizations often have dedicated in-house teams managing the system due to its stability, but some still encounter variability in support promptness and effectiveness.

Deployment

Some say SAP Replication Server's initial setup is complex, requiring knowledge of LAN and VLAN environments, while others find it straightforward due to security documentation.

Assistance from detailed documents simplifies configuration. Many find the installation process straightforward, with some using it on-premises exclusively.

Scalability

SAP Replication Server demonstrates scalability with positive results in clustered systems. However, performance enhancements are needed for high transactional processes. While one-to-one replication works well, further exploration is required for multiple locations. It supports approximately 1,000 users and is utilized by numerous applications, indicating its ability to handle substantial workloads.

Stability

Users confirm SAP Replication Server is highly stable with consistent reliability over years of use. It is described as a foolproof system with dependable configuration and performance. Although issues arise, support resolves them efficiently, leading to minimal disruptions. No significant concerns about stability have been reported, reinforcing confidence in its robustness.
