  Competitive analysis is a process used in SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to compare the performance of a company’s products and services against those of its competitors. It involves analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of competitors, as well as their strategies, in order to gain a better understanding of the competitive landscape. This information can then be used to inform decisions about product development, pricing, marketing, and other areas.

  In SAP CRM, competitive analysis can be conducted by using the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This module allows users to compare their own products and services against those of their competitors in terms of features, pricing, customer service, and other factors. The data collected can then be used to identify areas where the company can improve its offerings or gain a competitive advantage.
