I work in the digital strategy field for a financial services client. I mainly use Ariba to collect information and manage bills and other contractual information about vendors and contractors who work with me.

Easy to use and makes every step in the approval process clear
Pros and Cons
- "The best features are the ease of use and the workflow management that allows me to understand every step in the approval process so that I can forecast the time through my request and its approval."
- "Ariba Procurement tends to integrate best with other SAP products and is harder to work with if you have non-SAP products in your architecture."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features are the ease of use and the workflow management that allows me to understand every step in the approval process so that I can forecast the time through my request and its approval.
What needs improvement?
Ariba Procurement tends to integrate best with other SAP products and is harder to work with if you have non-SAP products in your architecture. In the next release, SAP should add links to artificial intelligence or some other technology that makes it easy to calculate third-party and vendor risk. For example, it could be interesting to include a feature that allows monitoring of clients' processes to evaluate the risk of lock-in and other internal process risks.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Ariba Procurement for about a year.
