Process Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SAP Ariba - Spend Management Tool" January 7, 2026 5.0 Having used SAP Ariba for several years now, I can say that I am much more comfortable with it now than I was when my company first made the switch. Like anything else, with a little bit of practice, it becomes second nature. Pros My company uses SAP Ariba as the primary purchasing system for goods and services. I personally use the system for both processing spot buys as well as guided buying. I like guided buying the most about SAP Ariba because it allows me to purchase goods all at a predetermined rate using my company's corporate discount. Cons At first, the SAP Ariba system was somewhat difficult to navigate. It is such a large system that occasionally I would find myself lost and unsure how to proceed. With more use came more familiarity with the system however. Review Source VY Vishnu Y.

We can raise invoices in just a few minutes; we dont have to make long manual calculations, collect the physical invoices, or have to go to different departments for signings, approvals and stamps; we just have to raise invoice, it will be directly transfered ot to the concerned person, the person will approve the invoice, then will go to the next department as per the company defined flow and at last to the finance team which will approve and relase the payment, it reduced aoverall manual efforts of invoicg, you don't have to create physical files for keeping invoices, maintaining big records, all done easily in one go Pros one of the best tools of already using any tool from SAP in your organization; it's mainly used for e-invoicing, payment approval, and processing. You dont have to raise physical invoices; just raise the invoice in ariba, it will go to the assigned person. After approval, go to the finance team, and then the payments will be released. Cons Nothing to dislike; the finest tool for e-invoicing Review Source BD Blake D. Trade Specialist Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SAP Ariba works" January 7, 2025 4.0 Access to clients in SAP Ariba is great, having everything in one platform is a huge win as well. Pros Everything is in one place and not spread across multiple platforms. Cons The functionality is not where it should be. As a new user it is hard to navigate and understand what to do. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer EVP Head of Business Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Secure Platform But Clunky and Disappointing" January 12, 2025 3.0 It's clunky and slow but large corporations use it for billing so it's a must have, the fees are disappointing.

CONTROLLER Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SAP Ariba makes work difficult" April 28, 2025 3.0 I would not use this program if I was not forced to use it by my customers. IT is not intuitive and it is difficult to work with. Pros I like the dashboard page of Ariba. IT's easy to add and remove widgets. Cons I can never find what I need in Ariba. It also never works on the first attempt. You constantly have to reenter your info. I upload invoices all the time and it often takes 4-5 tries to get them into the system.

It's user-friendly enough for most professionals to navigate without major issues. Pros SAP Ariba helped me participate effectively in RFP processes. Its functionalities are practical and straightforward, making it accessible with some common sense. Cons The interface feels a bit outdated compared to more modern platforms.

Though it may have a few downsides but still better in the industry. Pros a. Effective lifecycle design for all procurements needs b. The comprehensive capability of encompassing every activity involved in procurement from pre-PO to vendor selection c. Excellent integration with inhouse tools for quick payment processing d. Safe and secure authorization/single sign-in methodology Cons Very slow operations and the UI/UX is difficult to understand, need to put a lot of time to learn, feels outdated. There a bit issues in adding many 3rd party contractors. The capacity needs to be increased. Switched from [Coupa](https://www.capterra.com/p/115928/Coupa/) Coupa did not have the capacity to integrate multi touch point for same transaction. We needed to have multiple authorization for same process. Review Source AM Andre M. Partner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SAP Ariba is the NOT user-friendly and archaic in complexity" July 25, 2024 2.0 Very very poor! Clearly the Gartner and other ratings are dishonest and solicited by bribes Pros Process automation but its clumsiness is disconcerting and makes it a grudge-tool to use Cons The archaic workflows and nonsensical messaging and statuses drives the users insane! Review Source WK Waleed K. Senior Procurement Engineer - Facilities Management Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best expense tracking system along the supply chain" February 23, 2022 5.0 SAP Ariba helps me manage my expenses and track and evaluate them to accomplish the best supply chain operations. It also keeps track of the accounts we have paid or need to pay, so you are completely aware of your contractual duties. The finest vendors and rates allowed us to simplify procurement operations and boost contract transparency. Pros It is the best management program that helps companies expand, as it provides many services that allow new horizons for cooperation with others and contribute to increasing the company's ability to track spending. SAP Ariba provides complete transparency in the procurement process. Through its analytical tools, it is able to connect suppliers and buyers on a single platform, enabling them to complete all stages smoothly and flexibly. The user interface is attractive and easy to use, and it is cloud-based, enabling all parties involved in the operations to get the best fit for their services. I like the reports that I can get that show you consumption patterns and many data according to your interests, which gives you new horizons and gives you ideas that enable you to get the desired success. Cons It has not many negatives. In terms of business as well as day-to-day dealings with suppliers, I find it to be a useful software that I can rely on for management needs. It requires some training to use its services effectively, and some apps have trouble connecting with it. Review Source AB Ashley B. Billing Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Beware" June 6, 2022 2.0 We have run in to more problems than solutions with Ariba. Again, being able to see the status of invoices and PO's is great, but I dread when I get emails letting me know a new PO is available or when I have to send invoices through this site. I don't ever expect it to work. Pros I like that I can see the status of my uploaded invoices and the status of my customers' purchase orders without having to reach out to the customer. Cons I do not like that this software constantly throws errors and doesn't always process my invoices. Half the time, I don't know whether the invoice was sent or not because it jumps me back to the home screen when I'm mid-way through uploading an invoice. When trying to open purchase orders, I constantly get "exception encountered" error messages and have to reopen the PO's numerous times in order to see them, then cross my fingers that I don't get the "exception encountered" error message again and again when I choose print. The worst part is that we as the customer are forced to pay for this service that rarely works. We have no choice be to receive PO's from this site and to send invoices through this site. Some of our invoices come to ~$35 A PIECE to send! Many customers use sites that are no cost to us that work significantly better than this one. Review Source AS Ashokkumar S.
