Ariba Spend Management Suite

Kommentare: Ariba Spend Management Suite is in general a good software. That's very useful to avoid any lack of information between the owner of the project and users and that's a good instrument to record all the messages exchanged between the parties. Let's say it can be used to do things in a right and fair way.

Vorteile: Ariba Spend Management Suite is a software that could be very useful to manage, for example, a tender. You can have there the whole information of the project divided by sections and the possibility to download contents or upload attachments. That's a good option to be always in touch with all the participants of the tender (as organizator) or to receive live updates for any change the tender could have.

Nachteile: What it is not properly comfortable of this software is that, when the owner of the project modify something in Ariba Spend Management Suite (add some attachment, etc.), the user gets an email that simply say that "something as changed" but without no details regarding what exactly changed. This is quite unconfrotable because then the user needs to check the whole content of the project and compare it with what downloaded previously, in order to understand what changed. This is a huge waste of time IMO.

Kommentare: We are leaving this software and will soon be using Maximo for all of our accounting purposes. It is always good to learn something new.

Vorteile: Only used it for accounting purposes and after a learning curve it was okay. I know it has more functionality that we used.

Nachteile: The accounting system was not user friendly. No training by our company. I understand that it is a very expensive software.

Kommentare: I could search a particular detail with ease as it has various filters to choose from.

Vorteile: I can enter all the information before processing a payment and I am alerted if an important information is missing or isn't a routine.

Nachteile: Software is a bit slow, there have been times where outages were experienced, thus increasing the work-load post outage.

Kommentare: The benefits we receive is that it allows us to pay our bills with ease.

Vorteile: The way It allows us to pay our bills makes it a good program to use. If and only if we have that company already added into our system.

Nachteile: The customer help didn't come easy. The addition of new vendors to the program was a pain. And getting more information from customer service was like pulling teeth.

Kommentare: Consolidated global spend management process and toolset.

Vorteile: One stop shopping for organizing and managing global spend, robust workflows and unlimited financial management details

Nachteile: The reporting was limited and not very intuitive. The approval workflow lacks ability to have parallel approvals.
