Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for SAP yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated SAP across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Best for large-scale global operations ... Enterprise Scale | SAP S/4HANA” Kimi K2 · ERP systems · comparative prompt · first choice
“SAP and Invoiced are excellent for comprehensive invoicing and compliance” Mistral Small · Invoicing software · direct prompt · first choice
“Widely considered the gold standard for massive organizations.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Fixed asset accounting · comparative prompt · first choice
“with SAP and Workday relevant if you anticipate scaling well beyond 500” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Financial reporting · scale prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Tops "worst ERP" lists on Reddit and complaint volumes... Avoid if you're SMB/mid-market or risk-averse.” Grok 4.1 Fast · ERP systems · negative prompt · hard negative
“Don't buy a Tier 1 ERP (like SAP or Oracle ERP Cloud) if you don't have 2,000+ employees.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Accounting software · scale prompt · hard negative
“OneStream/SAP – Typically overkill and overpriced for mid-market needs” Kimi K2 · Financial close manageme · direct prompt · hard negative
“you don't yet have the massive IT budget or headcount to support heavy enterprise systems (like SAP or Oracle Hyperion) that require dedicated full-time administrators.evidence” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Financial reporting · scale prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are in a category's top three. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SAP. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 96 of the 137 answers that named SAP and are not a share of its labels.

Names read as SAP

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as SAP; a claim can dispute any of them.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SAP's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SAP, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at sap.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
