Considered Both Products
Basware AP Automation
Chose Basware AP Automation
I have only used Basware Purchase to Pay in my organization, however it is such a good software that my company decided to keep using it for next years.
Chose Basware AP Automation
I like them both for different reasons.
Chose Basware AP Automation
I did not select Basware, so I do not know the alternatives.
Chose Basware AP Automation
I've used several other invoices processing systems and basware is by for the least complicated and easiest to use.
Chose Basware AP Automation
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.

Chose Hootsuite Insights
Radian6 and Brandwatch were on the short list. We picked uberVU for its combination of price and features. It did not have extra features we didn't need, they were customizable and flexible enough to meet all of our needs.

The system works well as an inter-company work-flow tool. Very helpful when and for invoice processing requires involvement across several different departments

I liked uberVU a lot, and thought I was lucky to have found them (they actually responded to my tweet when I was vendor-searching, which was good to know as they were doing just what we were planning to use the software for). They are relatively small, which allows to have a great personal relationship and we felt very valued as a client. They provided great value - some of their competitors allow for more features (which explains their higher price), but there was no way to opt out of the unnecessary features to lower the price - uberVU didn't have any of that, it was just what we needed and in our price range

Likelihood to Renew
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.

I find it a great tool in the digital strategy world to see what people are saying across social platforms. It's much more efficient that doing a search on the platform itself and provides a lot of information extremely quickly
