In Judaism it is claimed that there is only one God and that his name is YHWH (Yehowah). They are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
In Christianity it is claimed that Jesus Christ, (Iesous Christos in Greek, translated from Yehowshuwa mashiyachin Hebrew) is the Messiah, and is one of three in a Godhead making up one God. Therefore many Christians believe that Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit is God.
In Islam it is claimed that Allah is the name of their one God but that he has 99 other names also. They say that Jesus whom they call Isa was a prophet but not the Son of God.
Simplistically then:
Judaism believes God is One as the 'shema' says in Deuteronomy 6:4
Christians believe God is One currently with 2 Divine members (see John 10:30)
Islam believes God is solely One and needs no other member, son, partner - only Allah.
Additional Comments:
In reality, there really is no similarity to best describe the Judeo-Christian beliefs of God to the Muslim Islamic belief.
Judaism and Christianity have the Old Testament in common. Islam believes both OT and NT have been partially corrupted in transmission while the Koran is believed by Muslims to be the final and infallible revelation of God's will.
Though Muslims believe in God which they call Allah, Islam teaches that Allah is all-powerful, sovereign and 'unknowable' while Judaism and Christianity both teach the Creator God to be revealed as merciful, compassionate and knowable (see Jeremiah 9:24 and John 17:3).
The Christian text teaches the God of the Old Testament was the Word and it was He who Abraham and the other patriarchs and prophets worshiped. Islam teaches the Word, aka Jesus 'as one of perhaps 124,000 messengers of prophets Allah has sent and is one of the 25 listed in the Koran - but He is not the redeemer' (Marvin Olasky, "Islam vs. Liberty," World, Sept 10, 2011).
All in all, there are more differences and conflicts between the Judeo-Christian texts and the Muslim text, as well as the Koranic conflicts with secular history.

"get saved" is a Christian term and concept and does not apply to Judaism. The reason being that the Christian concepts of 'sin' and hell do not exist in Judaism. There is nothing to be saved from.
