Why Teams Switch from Solution Manager

"Setup took hours, not months"

We had SUPTime monitoring our 10 SAP systems in under 2 hours. SolMan took us 4 months to partially configure.

- IT Manager, Manufacturing

"No more SAP GUI"

Our team loves the modern web interface. Finally, monitoring that doesn't require SAP GUI knowledge.

- BASIS Lead, Retail

"TCO reduced by 60%"

No licensing fees, no dedicated admin, no infrastructure overhead. SUPTime pays for itself.

- CIO, Logistics

"Mobile-friendly monitoring"

I can check system status from my phone. Something SolMan could never do.

- SAP Architect, Finance

Common Questions

Can SUPTime replace Solution Manager completely?

SUPTime focuses on BASIS monitoring, alerting, and system health. If you use SolMan only for these features, yes. If you heavily use Change Request Management or Test Management, you may need to keep SolMan for those modules.

How long does migration take?

Most teams run SUPTime alongside SolMan for 1-2 weeks to validate, then fully switch. The overlap period ensures no monitoring gaps.

What about SAP support requirements?

SAP no longer mandates Solution Manager for support. SUPTime provides all necessary monitoring for productive support without SolMan overhead.
