Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What are the main SAP Enable Now alternatives?

They range from full enterprise enablement platforms to lighter capture tools, including FlowShare, ClickLearn and general documentation software. The choice usually comes down to one question: do you need guidance embedded inside the application, or step-by-step documentation you can export and distribute?

When you need in-application performance support inside SAP, simulation-based training, and a large enablement programme with dedicated staff to build and maintain it. That is a different job from producing documentation quickly during a project, and FlowShare does not attempt it.

FlowShare is a Windows desktop capture tool. It records SAP GUI and S/4HANA transactions click by click as on-premise documentation software and exports guides to Word, PDF or PowerPoint, which our SAP GUI documentation page covers in detail. It is faster to deploy and deliberately narrower in scope than a full enablement platform.

No, and this is usually the deciding factor. Because capture happens while a key user performs the transaction, the people who run the process create the process documentation. Enablement platforms generally assume trained authors, which is a standing cost as well as a project one.

Teams do. Enable Now for a structured enablement programme, FlowShare for the day-to-day documentation that key users have to produce during a project, when waiting for an authoring team is not realistic.

SAP stopped selling new Enable Now contracts in 2025 and named WalkMe its strategic successor after acquiring it in 2024. Existing contracts continue to run, but mainstream maintenance ends no later than November 30, 2030. Anyone still planning around Enable Now today should factor that date in from the start.
