Comparison of SAP and ORACLE generous out the technical articles: SAP reflects the German style of management: Refinement perfection; ORACLE reflects the American style of management: seeking simple seek easy.
Architecture Comparison
mySAP.com is not an internet application suite structure requires an additional server, R / 3 is still the core of the product.
ORACLE E-Business Suite is 100% of the INTERNET structure.
SAP the entire product line is going through a painful from the old client / server architectures to Internet-based structural changes. Until a true multi-WEB structure to achieve before, my SAP functionality will be scalability, integration and performance greatly hampered.
Industry analysts have also pointed out the limitations of SAP system architecture. Gartner said the SAP framework reads, "SAP's architecture, although the improved functionality of the friendly WEB is still a serious reliance on outdated client / server model. When the sales of ERP product, SAP will be a lack of flexibility in the structure of the impact and challenge, because the customers will put the modular and open architecture as an evaluation standard, SAP's unique closed structures are not well to meet the basic ERP, unless the customers that SAP alone could provide all of the ERP features and interfaces (for support ERP and collaborative commerce interface). "
Migrate to SAP, my SAP products bring additional redundancy and reliability issues. Lance Travis, AMR's analysts said the need to move to mySAP.com server-side increased by 30% to 50% of the space, but only "copy of the original doing," which may bring a few hundred to thousands of G, disk space.
"SAP Internet Transaction Server [ITS] is very difficult to deploy; we rarely hear succeeded," AMR's Travis said. "Most companies have already spent a 6, 9 or 12 months to deploy, but never deployed correctly. in normal start-up and operation is very difficult, "he pointed out the complexity of configuration, as well as the reliability of ITS are the main sticking point.
Oracle's multi-layer architecture and modular functionality of the entire solution to ensure superior performance, while providing high security. To comply with open standards to make them more easy to integrate and expand.
WEB-based SAP client (SAP GUI for HTML) has serious performance and availability issues. SAP in the old client / server interface for turning WEB interface aspect is unsuccessful. SAP, WEB interface, slow, forcing a large number of customers using the mouse (for the financial users is a very real and serious problem), such that users are confused and can not concentrate - almost no SAP user to use this WEB-based customer side.
Only part of SAP's business (in addition to SAP CRM 3.0 inside the new products) through the implementation of WEB browser.
Many of the features must be through the traditional client / server interface. In fact SAP GUI for HTML is just one SAP client-server system to emulate HTML coat.
SAP GUI for HTML is dynamic, the client / server system data into HTML, and Javascript; this treatment requires a lot of time, resulting in poor performance of the user interface.
SAP GUI for HTML-generated HTML pages trying to emulate client-server GUI look and feel. This is a very complex, WEB browser, spent a lot of time to generate them. The performance in reducing more serious.
No shortcut keys, so users must use the mouse, or even a list of values such as open a simple business. This makes the user very tired.
Many of the screen contains the graphics and procedures in the SAP GUI for HTML which is not supported.
Oracle's products are based entirely on the WEB, the interface intuitive, easy to in-house promotion. SAP's difficult to use and failed WEB client, making the end user will have a negative impact on the SAP, thus affecting the ERP implementation results.
Web-based Oracle client has an excellent performance, but because of ease of use and highly praised. ORACLE interface is completely based on WEB, and the entire user only needs a browser. In the INTERNET, the secure HTTPS protocol through the standard port 80 using the system. |
