  ### 12. Please consider another solution

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Albert R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2023

**What do you like best about SAP Ariba?**

It's from SAP - this is all you have to know. It's a no-brainer to use their Business Network then.
Or not?

**What do you dislike about SAP Ariba?**

Overall, don't opt for Ariba or the SAP Business Network if you:

- Expect any support. The support has never ever helped us.

- Want a good onboarding experience. As a supplier, I assisted over 100 customers to start using Ariba and use it daily. The onboarding staff at Ariba just follows pointless Excel lists without any reality check. The integration is extremely frustrating.
Example: Ariba Onboarding: we experienced everything from 3 months to 2 years, and even "we gave up on this."
Onventis, Newtron, or any other "good" procurement platform: 2 emails (5 minutes for the supplier, 2 minutes for their support).

- Wish to have relieved employees. I speak with many of our customers, and they ALL, and I really mean "all," are frustrated with Ariba, also known as SAP Business Network, after using it for a while.

- Need a test environment. It exists, but operates entirely differently from the live environment. But follow the rules! Before you're allowed to use the live environment, the onboarding staff at Ariba will tell you to first use the test environment.

- Desire clear error messages. "Network error - there was an error uploading your file" can mean anything. In most cases, it indicates some missing prices in the uploaded catalog file. The prices are supposed to be optional if you check the documentation. But they are not. Luckily, I got a "Network error," so I can instantly find and fix problems like this.

- Prefer a good UI/UX. Do you like to click "Yes, I'm sure" after each action? Do you enjoy waiting forever for the website to load? It would be worth a separate post to rant about the usability alone...

- Want cost-efficient processes. Probably, your supplier will charge you more if they know you'll be using Ariba. It's just complicated, the supplier has to pay for it, and the processes become slower.
Ask Ariba how they handle processes that don't fit their criteria. Customized products, graduated prices, live stock availabilities... I think they'll "cover it" all – but how?

- Aim to become globally digital or get automated processes. That's what they tell you.
Reality:
Your employees no longer send the inquiry or order by mail or phone within a minute or two. They log in to Ariba, skip the product search, look for the contact form, fill in many unnecessary fields, and send the form to the supplier. The supplier then receives an email that there's a new order/inquiry, has to log in to Ariba, search for the right inquiry, and open it there... I think you get the point. And I didn't mention how many times both parties had to hit the "Yes, I'm sure, I want to do this" button.
The supplier no longer sends you the invoice PDF from their ERP automatically by email. Now, they download the invoice from their ERP and upload the PDF to Ariba...

**What problems is SAP Ariba solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No one at all, It just creates problems.
