SAP Build, Name is enough for someone to know its awesome.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'd like to first thank you, Sap, for building this tool. Every now and then, a client comes with a request to have something that he can handle and have a lot less coding required. If their budget allows, we particularly recommend using SAP Build for his requirements and we have some amazing talent in-house to use its low-code environment.

Pros

  • Its drag and drop editor is even simpler than the very popular WordPress
  • No code feature to build any type of website
  • Not a lot of technical expertise is required to use this tool
  • The client loves it as they can themselves use it for quick tweaks

Cons

  • Not sure for every site, but sometimes the code does not work well on specific Android devices like Samsung s20 and s20 FE
  • It is not as modern like some other tools available in the market like Canva
  • The UI could be better

Return on Investment

  • Amazing overall experience. Our clients have grown well.
  • By ROI, we have seen significant growth in our net profits.
  • There aren't a lot of SAP Build devs out there, so we get some handsome hourly rate for that work.
