SAP Sustainability Control Tower vs. SAP Sustainability Footprint Management

It is basically the easiest choice for people who are already running SAP ECC or S4 as their ERP as that means they can get all of the data sources automatically without mapping efforts. That compensates for some of the shortcomings mentioned earlier, and to be fair, tools from other vendors (e.g., Microsoft) have the same problem anyway.

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

Same lack of industry-specific content on both, but SAP has the main advantage of direct connection to the ERP data so it saves significant efforts in comparison. Regarding dashboards look and feel and so on, it is more a matter of personal preference between PowerBi and SAP, we personally prefer SAP as it is a bit richer in ability to bring in more data and filter on it.
