EnableNow Companion – WalkMe DAP Feature Comparison – SAP SEN EAB Lighthouse Program
Last Updated December 5, 2025
Overview
| WalkMe DAP | SAP Companion, a component of SAP Enable Now |
| DAP is a no-code solution powered by AI/ML that analyzes how humans interact with software. Using proactive recommendations to improve UX, customers use DAP to solve the biggest digital transformation paradox – the adoption of the digital tools. This is hugely attractive to enterprises that want to not only protect their investments, but reap more value. | With SAP Enable Now, SAP customers can create guided product tours within SAP tools to educate users on how to perform tasks in the SAP application(s). The guidance is basic and used to solve for only linear processes. In-app help includes hot spots to highlight screen elements and provide help bubbles containing text or video elements. Reporting is limited to content consumption. |
