SAP Cloud ALM is a cloud service for managing SAP landscapes through guided implementation and automated operations. Its implementation tools support SAP Activate project work, fit-to-standard workshops, task management, documentation, testing, deployment planning and reporting. Test management handles manual and automated testing, including integrations with SAP S/4HANA Test Automation Tool and Tricentis Test Automation, plus an open API for other providers. Operations monitoring covers business processes, integrations and exceptions, user performance, jobs and automation, configuration and security, system health, and business services. It can connect third-party tools through open APIs and monitor custom SAP BTP and non-SAP applications. Configuration and Security Analysis can check system settings daily against SAP product security recommendations. SAP describes the service as SaaS, with a preferred data center location selected when requesting a tenant. Eligible customers receive one tenant and 24 GB SAP HANA Memory with 24 GB monthly outbound API data transfer at no charge. Usage is limited to internal application lifecycle management, and on-premise SAP solutions must be covered by the customer's SAP Support agreement.
