    Basware
    The system it self and its functionality is great. Most screens and work flows are easy to understand and use without any training. Its usually obvious what the next step is for the user, e.g adding coding, review etc. The information shown to the user is also built in a good way and the overall "feel" of the system is among best in market. Some of the admin parts require Basware AP Automation help, even though you technically can do it yourself as admin, the documentation available is not enough to help you through it.

    SAP Supplier Relationship Manager is well suited wherever SAP ERP (like ECC , S/4HANA) is in use. It might not work well when ERP is not from SAP (mostly ERP for small customers like NETSUITE, APPTIO, CORTEX etc.). for smaller customers procurement software like Coupa would better fit compared to SAP Supplier Relationship Manager. For large customers (like fortune 500 companies) SAP-SRM would fit very well.

    Cons
    Basware
    • There needs to be an easier way to view past invoices as the current method requires that you select from the pull-down menu each and every time
    • Instructions for the more commonly used features should be available within the program itself rather than having to search the online help index in order to find this information (bubble pop ups would be nice)
    • More functionality should be build into the invoice processing system (you should be able to forward via email, include screenshots, etc)

    We will continue using product and continue renewing as it is widely used product and it has been well adapted by users in our organization. The product is expensive but we will use it. Hopefully the product bugs will be fixed in future and they will provide more HA architecture feather for Basware.

    Usability
    Basware
    The GUI and workflows are easy to understand. It makes sense where the "buttons" and menus are located. Design is overall getting improvements constantly as well, so there is updates coming all the time. System is quick, few bugs and errors that cause issues. Up time and accessibility is on a very good level.

    Basware was not my selection as I was not with the company at the time. It was easy to learn and we have maintained a good working relationship with Basware. It is a very good way to process the workflow of invoices from start to finish

    Coupa is better suited for smaller organizations and can integrate well with non-SAP ERPs. It has more languages supported and good mobile interface. Coupa has good Analytics and ca integrate well with ERPs like netsuite, octa, salesforce, cortex etc. It can also well integrate with other software like Docusign and support multiple languages with easier custom development.
