Don’t let your SAP monitoring go dark. Bion and New Relic deliver a future-ready observability solution that goes beyond SAP-only tools, offering real-time telemetry, AI-driven insights, and full visibility across your entire tech stack. [![Let's Talk](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8950083/interactive-187901618484.png)](https://www.bionconsulting.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKNdawpvuIQnUGLJkTMMdUH%2FfRjP8YLGnVxIfgx3keqP5iJmTCT3k9HoOYXGJgZ0WRHlgkaNhI9%2FeT33FTfzGOfkoEVVqY57TPMNkcbLgXBmRj%2BofeuC%2BnTf2NOUWdlNMz%2F1WPBPbPuvPuqy5QvUcKdk%2Br0hghwk7decf9cClkALzDmEcENysnOjq5K7PKLPizehRf3xrFq&webInteractiveContentId=187901618484&portalId=8950083&hsLang=en) ![SAP Monitoring with New Relic](https://www.bionconsulting.com/hubfs/enterprise-resource-planning-erp-text-blue-screen-board-background%20(1).jpeg) ## The End of SolMan, the Start of Modern Observability SAP has officially ended mainstream development for Solution Manager (SolMan), with full support set to expire by 2027. For enterprises that rely on SolMan for performance tracking, health checks, and system monitoring, this marks a critical turning point. The shift to distributed, cloud-native SAP environments demands a more agile and unified approach to observability, one that SolMan and even SAP Cloud ALM can’t fully support. That’s where Bion and New Relic come in. At Bion, we help organisations **future-proof their SAP landscapes with New Relic’s Native SAP Monitoring**. This modern, lightweight, and cloud-ready solution provides real-time telemetry, full-stack visibility, and advanced analytics powered by AI. Our approach goes beyond SAP-only metrics to unify infrastructure, application, and business process monitoring in a single, intuitive platform. Now is the time to evolve. Replace SolMan before the clock runs out—and take the first step toward smarter, more resilient SAP monitoring. ## Why Replace SolMan with New Relic? Replacing SolMan isn’t just about keeping up with SAP’s roadmap; it’s about unlocking better performance, faster insights, and broader visibility. New Relic empowers you to move beyond SolMan’s limitations with a modern approach built for today’s complex, cloud-connected environments. | | SAP Solution Manager (SolMan) | New Relic Native SAP Monitoring | | --- | --- | --- | | Support & Lifecycle | End of support by 2027 | Actively developed and supported | | Ease of Use | Complex setup, steep learning curve | Lightweight, fast setup, intuitive UX | | Cloud Readiness | On-prem heavy, limited cloud insight | Built for cloud, hybrid & on-prem environments | | Real-Time Insights | Batch-based metrics, lagging alerts | Real-time streaming telemetry | | End-to-End Visibility | SAP-only | SAP + full-stack (infrastructure, apps, services) | | Integrations | SAP-centric | Native integration with AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and more | | AI-Powered Analytics | Minimal | Advanced anomaly detection & forecasting | | Licensing Model | Complex, bundle-dependent | Flexible SaaS pricing, available via AWS Marketplace | ## Ready for the Post-SolMan Era? SAP Solution Manager served its purpose, but it’s no longer built for modern business demands. As SAP systems become more distributed and cloud-native, monitoring needs to evolve too. New Relic provides: - SAP ABAP system monitoring with native connectors - Business process health and job status tracking - Custom KPI dashboards for finance, logistics, and production - Unified monitoring across SAP, cloud, databases, and more - DORA & compliance-aligned observability reporting ![nrm4sql--sap-dashboard01](https://8950083.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/8950083/hubfs/nrm4sql--sap-dashboard01.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=nrm4sql--sap-dashboard01.png) ![accounts_screenshot-full_SAP-dashboard](https://8950083.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/8950083/hubfs/accounts_screenshot-full_SAP-dashboard.webp?width=1200&length=1200&name=accounts_screenshot-full_SAP-dashboard.webp) ![sap-navigator-ui-monitoring-new relic](https://8950083.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/8950083/hubfs/sap-navigator-ui-monitoring-new%20relic.webp?width=1200&length=1200&name=sap-navigator-ui-monitoring-new%20relic.webp) ![nrm4sql--sap-dashboard02](https://8950083.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/8950083/hubfs/nrm4sql--sap-dashboard02.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=nrm4sql--sap-dashboard02.png) ## What about Cloud ALM? Some customers think Cloud ALM would be enough for SAP Monitoring. Is it really? While SAP Cloud ALM is an improvement over SolMan, it remains SAP-centric and does not provide full-stack visibility across hybrid architectures. New Relic bridges this gap, offering unified observability across: ![010-monitor](https://www.bionconsulting.com/hubfs/icons/010-monitor.png) ### SAP System Monitoring Track SAP systems directly via native ABAP connectors and log ingestion, enabling deep visibility into job status, business processes, and system performance. ![032-high performance](https://www.bionconsulting.com/hubfs/icons/032-high%20performance.png) ### Application Performance Monitor the health and responsiveness of your SAP applications in real time, understand how performance issues impact end users and resolve them faster. ![020-infrastructure](https://www.bionconsulting.com/hubfs/icons/020-infrastructure.png) ### Infrastructure & Integrations Get complete visibility into the infrastructure running your SAP stack, including cloud, on-prem, containers, and third-party services like APIs and middleware. ![036-error message](https://www.bionconsulting.com/hubfs/icons/036-error%20message.png) ### Real-Time Alerting Stay ahead of incidents with real-time alerts, custom KPIs, and AI-powered analytics that detect anomalies before they affect operations. ## SAP Monitoring Comparison #### SolMan vs Cloud ALM vs New Relic This side-by-side comparison shows how New Relic stacks up against SAP’s own tools—and why it offers a more complete, future-ready observability solution. | | SAP Solution Manager (SolMan) | SAP Cloud ALM | New Relic Native SAP Monitoring | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Support & Lifecycle | End of support by 2027 | SAP’s future monitoring direction | Actively developed, vendor-agnostic | | Ease of Use | Complex setup, steep learning curve | Simplified interface, SAP-only scope | Fast setup, intuitive dashboards | | Cloud Readiness | Primarily on-premise | Built for SAP SaaS | Native for hybrid, on-prem, and multi-cloud | | Monitoring Scope | SAP-only | SAP applications only | SAP + infrastructure, apps, databases, APIs | | Real-Time Observability | Periodic/batch updates | Near real-time | Live, high-resolution telemetry | | Customisation | Limited flexibility | Predefined templates | Full KPI, alert, and dashboard customisation | | Integrations | SAP-focused | Open integration (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.) | Open integration (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, etc.) | | AI & Predictive Insights | Basic threshold alerts | Some automation & analytics | Advanced AI/ML for anomaly detection | | Licensing Model | Bundled, complex | Included with SAP subscriptions | Flexible SaaS pricing, incl.
