What do you like best about SAP Ariba?

SAP Ariba offers a comprehensive set of procurement features but comes with a steep learning curve. The interface is not very intuitive, making ease of use a challenge, especially for new users.

Customer support is responsive but can sometimes be slow in resolving issues. Overall, it’s a powerful tool for procurement professionals but requires commitment to fully leverage its capabilities.
