- fxtentacle 6y agoNo, SAP is more like an Operating System for your factories. It contains EVERYTHING, from payroll to inventory management. Think of it more like an Exchange server plus all Microsoft office apps combined. To connect to the Exchange server and get all features, you need Outlook. It's the same with the SAP database and SAP client GUIs. The official GUI is C++ and Windows only. They do have a Java port for other OSes, and some 3rd party GUIs, but none of that is feature-complete or even halfway there.
- jaywalk 6y agoSAP is so many things that their Products page has search functionality and is broken down by first letter: https://www.sap.com/products-a-z.html https://www.sap.com/products-a-z.html So no, SAP is not a database and has many client applications that would run on a laptop.
- ido 6y agoSAP is lots of enterprise software stuff, not just a DB.
