Onapsis vs. SAP Access Control

As a user, I would recommend Onapsis for people who are shorthanded in security or basis teams. One thing to be clear is that this is not a cheap product but still every penny counts here. If your SAP system has multiple products and connections then Onapsis is a great tool.

Appropriate for SAP hrs hierarchy integration and can have multiple hierarchies of org structures adopted as alternative workflow support. Cons of access control are the logs of firefighter usage are still limited in depth and does not evolve to adop more cloud products which are coming at a plaster pace than the ac product as such.

• Eliminating the manual process improves the overall accuracy of results and also frees up valuable resources to focus on other different projects.
• Onapsis provides great leverage to our technical teams in order to review in a standardized way of the landscape.
• Onapsis always matches vulnerabilities with useful context and finds possible solutions.
• Onapsis is usually implemented to continuously monitor, and alert us on any issues on the SAP systems. Not only this but implementing Onapsis also eliminates the network on the year-end and month-end audits and helps in making the overall process faster, smooth, efficient as well as accurate.

We are very happy with it.

Their customer support is wonderful and easy to work with. The overall usability is great. I greatly recommend this software.

There are other tools which we have compared with Onapsis,

1. SAP ETD
2. SAP CVA
3. SecurityBridge

These tools along with the highlighted ones in the above list do not cover all components of Onapsis and as far as we have seen, there is no tool providing the same competencies. It provides good insights, and is constantly updating. On top of that Onapsis Research Labs constantly contributes towards SAP Patch Tuesday regarding multiple "Hot News" vulnerabilities.

Unlike other network access control tools such as SolarWinds Access Rights Manager , SAP Access Control removes other super users privileges whenever there is need to monitor and troubleshoot a problem. This helps in complete monitoring by keeping a log off performed when there is troubleshooting in progress.

• Reducing risk of fraud. Implementing SAP Access Control allows analysis of every role assigned to a job on the organization. Through this analysis, weakness on roles are detected, corrected and monitored. As the users feel the change, they also feel that they are being monitored, preventing any intent to use his position and privileges to take personal advantage. So a major impact to organizations is to reduce the financial lost due to frauds.
• Reducing cost for monitoring. Another positive impact is lowering the cost of monitoring. This is twofold: First, a rather small team can manage access management. Second, through the use of SAP Access Control the complete universe of roles and users can be monitored without increasing the cost for the continuous monitoring.
• During transactions. The use of SAP Access Controls allows detection of transactions that, from an information security point of view, require some redesign. When SAP GCR is implemented, you make some discoveries such as: obsolete transactions, transactions with no authorization objects and the like. The transactions with these problems can be left out of the active roles, waiting for remediation of the issues found.
