codeBeamer ALM vs. SAP Process Control

In my opinion codeBeamer is well suited for any activity where detailed tracking is needed with teams involved. It can be less suited for small projects which do not last long, or are not continuous, etc

In my opinion, SAP Process Control is well suited for bigger companies with an already mature Internal Control System as well as for bigger companies who want to completely new/redesign the internal control system. The size of the company, as well as the budget, is quite important when thinking about the implementation of SAP Process Control. A smaller company with e.g., 150 people should think more about implementing SAP FCM.

• Search.
• Metric calculation.
• Would be nice that cB is a source of truth, i.e., that say SVN commit is done only from cB; know this is difficult to achieve.

• Default delivery of controls could be done by SAP on some basic controls like client openings, password controls, etc
• The messaging or customization of messages in different workflows is limited, which could be introduced to enhance the product
• SAP Process control does not have the capability for cloud product monitoring which is required with more SAP cloud products available right now

Sometimes info in codeBeamer can be lost, in principle, if not well organized by the user, info can never be found, or can be forgotten about, etc

Excellent support professionally. Also, thanks for giving me for free access to SaaS cB for my hobbyist project.

codeBeamer is by far better.

The connectivity with other SAP products out of the SAP GRC suite, like Access Control and so on, was key for the decision. Also we had an already mature SAP System landscape as well as having internal processes that were similar to the SAP Process Control standard processes helped us with the decision to implement SAP Process Control.

• Customer tracking.
• Process tracking.
• Workflow framework.
• Can be overhead.

• Automated alerts for controls issues
• Workflow capabilities; however, there's natively only 2 levels of review. More layers would be beneficial.
