The possibility of monitoring of this constantly becoming complicated environment is vital, in particular, at transfer of workflows of SAP on the S/4 HANA EPR system and in public cloud services. However restrictions of SAP force IT specialists to spend a large number of resources for identification of problems with performance of their SAP landscapes and applications with which these landscapes are connected. It leads to failures, problems with key transactions and increase in mean time to repair (MTTR) that has negative effect on quality of digital customer service and the employees, and in certain cases and to loss of productivity and the profit of the company.

Thanks to SAP Peak from AppDynamics the tools for monitoring of performance of applications allowing to trace in real time a status of SAP landscapes, including such parts of infrastructure as become available to IT specialists: log, metadata, background jobs, S/4HANA databases and application servers. It also allows business divisions to collect the crucial information necessary for them for ensuring uninterrupted operation of business processes. Thanks to transparency of a stack of SAP components and third-party suppliers to, in time and after migration, the organizations can reduce risks and pass to the S/4HANA system or cloud services.
