What is the difference between a public and a private SAP client?

IDES24 offers both public and private SAP access for S/4 HANA or ECC 6. What is the difference?

The "simple" public SAP access is used by several users from different organizations. Here, there are constant changes and movement in the data, as many people are working and practicing on it at the same time.
Only you and your team have access to private SAP access. In this case, a special dedicated "SAP client" is set up for you. Almost all data and settings are therefore in your hands.

Accordingly, private SAP access is more expensive than public pool access. But what are the advantages of having your own SAP client in detail?
The following five factors can help you decide whether or not a private SAP client is right for you.

1. reliability

The entire team has access to the same data set and can collaborate quickly and reliably. No one can change your data or configuration because your SAP client is private. This means that once you have made adjustments, everything stays the same. If you use the framework for sales demos, training scenarios, exercises or as a development platform, for example, this security is important.

2. privacy and data protection

If you use a private SAP client, no one else can view your SAP client or see what you are working on. Everything is exclusively for use within your team. This means that you can also work with sensitive company data.
Furthermore, other team members cannot access the development data of ABAP users as they have their own private namespace.

3. performance

An elastic server hosts many of our private SAP client options. Depending on the number of users logged on, the server performance adapts immediately. This means that server load times remain optimal at all times.

4. SAP test environment

It is much better to let employees work on a training or test server than on your live SAP system. A small mistake could have fatal consequences and cause high costs. to eliminate such chaos. Private SAP access is an excellent way for developers to prepare for migration to a newer version or a new release of SAP (e.g. an S/4HANA implementation project).

5. adaptability

Flexibility is a big advantage if you want to win over a customer. It's never a good idea to work with a data set that is locked because someone else is using it.
With IDES24, there is no time limit on how long you can be logged in. You have full control over which release you want. Private SAP clients are available for ECC 6.0 and S/4HANA.
