Quicker and Easier Software Comparisons with TEC
TEC’s software comparison matrix facilitates a rapid, accurate analysis of multiple enterprise solutions in fine detail. Our side-by-side comparison template allows you to select from almost 1,000 business software products in over 40 software categories, including ERP, CRM, HR, and BI. Instead of spending weeks or even months obtaining this report on your own, we’re able to provide results in a business day.

Enterprise software is one of the most complex types of investments that your business must evaluate before purchase and implementation. Our prepopulated charts accelerate the comparison process while ensuring a high level of accuracy, avoiding a painstaking, line-by-line analysis of thousands of features.

Benefits and Features of TEC’s Software Comparison Reports
Our comparison charts save considerable time, money, and effort when selecting a new solution. Each software comparison report template was built by our specialized industry analysts using real-world projects for our clients, and data sets collected from software vendors, reducing the time you need to spend on fulfilling due diligence during your search.

A single TEC software comparison report is the equivalent of doing months of research to form a base model of all the functionalities that an ERP, BI, or other system ought to have, plus the weeks or months of effort to get multiple vendors to fill out the resulting request for information (RFI).

Our software comparison matrix provides all of this in one simple step. You can edit a report to highlight your priorities and send copies to other vendors for completion. A comparison report can help you leap forward in your selection process.

What is TEC’s Software Comparison Chart?
TEC’s software comparison tool leverages our comprehensive database of features and functions within almost 1,000 business software solutions on the market. TEC’s expert industry analysts have been collecting info and updating our database during our projects with software vendors and end-users for over 25 years.

The resulting software comparison charts provide a highly detailed model of various business software types. When you select the vendor solutions you want to compare, the report reveals the level of support offered by each solution for every line item of functionality—for example, out-of-the-box support is usually better than third-party support.

Which Key Factors Are Covered in Our Software Comparison Charts?
TEC’s software comparison matrix includes all the standard features found in each enterprise software category. Typically, each category includes thousands of features, organized into modules and sub-modules that reflect how business processes work within the software. For example, in an ERP solution, you will find modules for financials, human resources, sales management, and more.

Our software comparison charts contain every module and all subcategories of functionality that comprise solution categories. Selecting enterprise software is often complex, but our comparison reports are designed to make an apples-to-apples evaluation of multiple solutions manageable, without sacrificing depth and precision.
