## Reviews

### "Efficiency of SAP" — 5.0/5

> **Bhawna** | *August 1, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customer service is very efficient in matters for technical help or even setting up the tool for the team.&#10;The learning manual was ever much simpler
> 
> **Cons**: It’s just very technical but that cannot be an issue as it requires handson knowledge so overall it is very efficient
> 
> I have been using SAP for various things in fulfilling my job responsibilities. It is a very useful and simple to understand and learn tool.

### "Pretty good software" — 4.0/5

> **Linda** | *January 28, 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Requests for help were quick to respond to
> 
> **Cons**: Steps on entering invoices and attachments were a bit confusing

-----

### "Software review" — 5.0/5

> **Samuel** | *December 27, 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple interface and great third party for work related items
> 
> **Cons**: It's a bit confusing, there are sometimes many options
> 
> Overall good experience, software could use an upgrade

### "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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;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.

### "Easy navigation with some areas to improve performance wise" — 3.0/5

> **Nick** | *October 3, 2025* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user-friendly interface makes finding the catalogs easy. Robust feature set allows organizational customization.
> 
> **Cons**: Some occasional lag during request submission or catalog navigation. A bit of a learning curve for standard users when it comes to the shipping and review page.
