I like that SAP Ariba is cloud-based, so I’m not relying on a clunky server, and the user interface is good, smooth, and easy to use. It keeps information clean and makes it easy to access contract workspaces, see where approvals are, and bring governance and sourcing strategies together with the procurement desk. It also helps keep requisitions clean through the approvals my team handles. Compared with working off a server, the cloud setup means lower downtime and less time spent on server upgrades. It’s also helpful for working on contract mobilisation, sourcing projects, and approvals in a large, matrixed organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes have trouble finding signed contracts and procurement documents, and the system steps can take a long time. It can be a headache for newer users, so I’d like easier training or guidance and less clunky options for finding what I need. SAP e-procurement also times out a lot sometimes, though I’m not sure if that’s related to my work VPN or network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
