SAP Sustainability Footprint Management vs. Workday Prism Analytics

SAP Sustainability Footprint Management is well suited for businesses that want to manage and monitor their carbon emission at product level. However, it is not well suited if businesses want to manage and monitor their carbon emissions from site to corporate level. SAP EHSM Environment Management is better suited for the latter; however, it cannot manage and monitor Scope 3 emission without enhancements or being creative with location master data structure. In addition, SAP EHSM Environment Management does not have 'if' scenario capability - which is requested by many businesses

Both are great products. The advantage of SAP Workforce Analytics is that it's widely interoperable between different APIs and databases. Having said that, Workday Prism Analytics scores much better in user-friendliness and the learning curve for the teams to start using it is very low. If Workday enhances its APIs functionality, it can compete easily with SAP Workforce Analytics.
