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
Wdesk is best suited for companies with demanding SEC filings and documents, with multiple revisions due to auditor/counsel review, and where financial reporting is extremely manual. Wdesk really helps take out the potential errors out of extremely manual processes, and helps automate regular financial reporting by allowing companies to link financial information and build customized flows of their information into financial statements and other documents (such as presentations or other internal reporting).
Overall it's a good-to-go product because of its features. It's easy to set up, meets requirements, has quality support, etc. So far, it has been working quite well for me, and I wish to continue using it for as long as it meets my requirements.
I have not had to deal with the Support Team, but overall our experience with the tool has been positive. They try to set new customers up for success from the start (I was part of the sales process, not the actual onboarding) and seemed to know that it’s a difficult transition, but worth it in the long run.
SAP Sustainability Footprint Management provides better opportunity to analyse the different aspects and provide an hollistic approach for calculates a company's total carbon footprint and attributes emissions to products and corporate overhead, aiming to achieve a balanced emission level through all production stages. with a special focus on holistic steering and ESG reporting, climate action, circular economy, and social responsibility.
I liked Merrill Bridge and Wdesk. I'd be happy with either one, as both have a user interface that's simple for seasoned users of the Microsoft suite of products. We use Wdesk because there's a large network of Wdesk users in this community, there are lots of training resources available online and in-person, and all of the departments in the company like the program.
