Same engine as Tricentis NeoLoad, in an SAP-branded edition
SAP EPT is NeoLoad under SAP branding. Customers get the proven performance-test engine packaged and supported by SAP.
SAP (Solution Extension built on Tricentis NeoLoad) • Performance testing
SAP Enterprise Performance Testing is Tricentis NeoLoad under the SAP brand, sold by SAP for performance and load testing on SAP landscapes.
SAP EPT engagements start with a load model of your real SAP GUI, Fiori and OData traffic, after which Merito runs the peak-event rehearsals and wires the results into Cloud ALM release gates. This page explains when to pick SAP EPT versus standalone NeoLoad.
What it is
SAP Enterprise Performance Testing (SAP EPT) is an SAP Solution Extension. Under the hood it is Tricentis NeoLoad, packaged by SAP with SAP-specific load models and SAP-aligned support. For SAP-dominant programs, SAP EPT is the right fit, running the same engine as standalone NeoLoad.
SAP EPT is a separate product page from NeoLoad deliberately. If SAP ever deprecates the Tricentis Solex relationship, SAP EPT customers will need a clean migration path. Because the engine is the same, that move would be a contract change, not a rebuild of the load models.
Merito's delivery work is the same for either product: SAP load modeling, performance baselines, Cloud ALM release-gate integration, and handover to your CoE. The work is what keeps SAP fast under real load.

Merito point of view
The underlying engine is identical. SAP-dominant programs typically pick SAP EPT for the SAP-branded packaging and SAP-certified integrations, while mixed or non-SAP-dominant programs pick standalone NeoLoad.
This product has its own page, separate from NeoLoad, so customers can reason about the choice cleanly. Merito's engagement is identical on either product: SAP load modeling, peak-event rehearsals, Cloud ALM release gates, CoE handover.
Pair SAP EPT with SAP ECT when the program needs combined functional and performance release gating across the SAP stack. For standalone performance testing, either product works. Pick by SAP alignment and scope.
