Ariba has fantastic features like SBN, Ariba Risk, Ariba Sourcing suite, all features make it perfect one shop for all Supplier relationship and Contract Management > > **Cons**: It is great product by SAP. I would say one of the best when it comes to utility and purpose. Although, it is sometime difficult to navigate and all products dont have similar UI but functionality trumps it. > > Amazing product with amazing features like Ariba Risk, Ariba sourcing suite etc. Most powerful is SAP Business Network: This is the platform’s "crown jewel." It connects you to over 5 million suppliers globally, making supplier discovery and onboarding significantly faster than manual processes. ----- ### "A necessary enterprise beast, but not user-friendly" — 4.0/5 > **Sergi** | *25 March 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Honestly, when it comes to compliance, tracking, and end-of-year audits, Ariba is a lifesaver. You can track exactly who approved what, and when. Invoicing: once you finally get the approval workflows and routing configured correctly, the procure-to-pay cycle runs really well. It definitely cuts down on manual data entry mistakes. It handles massive volumes of vendor data and contracts without breaking a sweat. It’s built for big, complex organizations, and it shows. > > **Cons**: It feels like you're using software from 15 years ago. Getting new hires up to speed takes way longer than it should because absolutely nothing is intuitive out of the box. > > Nobody buys SAP Ariba because it's fun or easy to use. You buy it because you need heavy-duty, enterprise-grade control. In that regard, it absolutely delivers. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do for contract management, compliance, and large-scale invoicing. But as a daily user, the experience can be frustrating. It’s clunky, the learning curve is steep, and it completely lacks the agility of modern SaaS tools. Ultimately, it’s a necessary platform if you operate at scale and need an iron-clad system of record, but you have to accept that you're trading user experience for pure horsepower. Be prepared to invest in training your team on how to actually use it. ----- ### "Do not recommend" — 2.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *7 January 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: There wasnt really a whole lot of good things to say about sap, but it did have one function that was nice it gave you the option to edit your timesheets > > **Cons**: It was crashing all the time, kicking us out an not letting us back in. Always said our login creds were wrong etc. > > Honestly i would give it like a 2 on a 1 to 10 scale... i really do not recommend ----- ### "My SAP Ariba experience" — 4.0/5 > **Dion** | *30 June 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works better with the Edge browser. Everything is organized, from order to delivery and invoice. It is accessible from anywhere in the world if you have internet. > > **Cons**: The response is sometimes a little slow. This could be due to overload on the system I guess. This is my only issue so far. > > My overall experience is great so far and I have no complaints. All the information available is accurate and reliable. ----- ### "Streamlined Source-to-Pay Process with SAP Ariba" — 5.0/5 > **Eoma** | *23 August 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: SAP Ariba simplifies procurement processes with seamless integration into SAP ERP. The guided buying experience, supplier collaboration, and contract management features help save time and reduce manual paperwork. During training, real-time project scenarios and practical exercises made the concepts easier to understand. > > **Cons**: The user interface can feel overwhelming for beginners, and the initial setup has a learning curve. Some navigation paths could be more intuitive, but once familiar, the system is very powerful. > > My overall experience has been excellent. Through Best Online Career's SAP Ariba online training, I gained hands-on skills in requisitioning, purchase orders, invoice handling, and supplier collaboration. The training bridged the gap between theory and real-time business use cases, which made me confident in applying Ariba in live projects. The course was structured, interactive, and supported with 24/7 server access. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/121794/sap-ariba?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/121794/sap-ariba) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
