Salesforce vs SAP

Salesforce (Noteworthy Open Source projects made available by Salesforce. Available under Open Source or Creative Commons licensing. No warranty or support implied) and SAP (SAP SE, a global software company, is one of the largest vendors of ERP and other enterprise applications.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Salesforce (rank #82) holds a narrow lead over SAP (rank #122) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (57 vs 54). The gap of 3 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), SAP is ahead of Salesforce. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Salesforce is slightly ahead of SAP. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Salesforce is slightly ahead of SAP. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Salesforce is ahead of SAP. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), SAP is slightly ahead of Salesforce.

Salesforce carries 68,892 GitHub stars across 417 public repos, with 75 repositories active in the last 90 days and 6 external contributors on record. SAP shows 12,850 stars across 309 public repos, 96 active in the last 90 days and 60 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Salesforce's footprint is roughly 5.4x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Salesforce is the stronger read for anyone weighting reach. SAP looks better where code quality is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
