SOX & internal controls head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Annual subscription, quote-based by users and modules | Quote-based |

Our take
Where Hyperproof leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 17 of the 27 capabilities where they differ (led by risk-to-control linkage and control & attribute testing workflow).
Where SAP Access Control leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 10 of the 27 capabilities where they differ (led by segregation-of-duties (sod) conflict detection and self-service access request & provisioning).
- Stated SAP integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where they differ
The 27 capabilities (of 44 in the SOX & internal controls taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
