SAP CPQ

SAP-anchored CPQ with CallidusCloud heritage.

By SAP SE · Founded 1996 · Walldorf, Germany · public

SAP CPQ (formerly CallidusCloud CPQ, acquired by SAP in 2018 for $2.4B as part of CallidusCloud) is the SAP-anchored CPQ for SAP ERP customers. The product covers product configuration, pricing logic, quote generation, and approval workflows integrated with SAP S/4HANA, SAP Sales Cloud, and SAP Service Cloud. Strengths: deep SAP ERP integration, strong fit for SAP-anchored enterprises with global operations, mature multi-currency and multi-language support, public SAP parent stability. Best fit for SAP S/4HANA customers wanting integrated CPQ. Trade-offs: post-CallidusCloud integration created some product velocity issues, innovation pace on AI features below DealHub, UX dated relative to modern CPQ, and outside SAP ecosystem the product is meaningfully less compelling.
