What do you like best about SAP Ariba?

It's storage facility and reporting for contracts. I have had experience of setting the fields up for the data to be recorded in the form as you enter the details of the contract. For example the term dates, value, category in which the spend sits. I enter a lot of forms and upload the corresponding contracts. I like the fact that it reminds you when the contract is coming to an end so that you can seek stakeholder feedback to give to the suppliers. Once entered the reporting dashboard can be set up to produce a record of all live contracts with the information from the form. Quality checks can be done to ensure everyone is entering the same required data fields. It is excellent for transparency and maintaining quality data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Ariba?

The disconnect between tasks and documents in projects for contract management and project management. Firstly when managing a supplier of 'A' status why is CM and PM different, these could be set up under the one project. When recording documents such as meeting minutes, risk logs etc. these are uploaded to Documents and then the Task is a different tab (I often duplicate the upload in the comments of the Task). This should be combined in some way. The templates assigned to a Task that have to be downloaded, completed and re-uploaded feel incredibly frustrating when you are working to deadlines and with increasing volumes of work..

Recommendations to others considering SAP Ariba:

Ariba is a sophisticated tool for engaging, managing and recording supplier interactions for one central system. Should you select Ariba it would be worth using your network to understand how others use the tool. I have used it in two companies and both have been different in their level of engagement. I would recommend all the modules, tendering, supplier management, contract database and MI. The set up and abilitiy to change are important. However, making step changes changes to the forms and process make the MI data less consistent. It takes time to set it up and I do not think it is possible to get it right first time. Beware of over complicating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
