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** | *March 25, 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** | *January 7, 2025* | Accounting Software | 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 ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/121794/sap-ariba?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
