Contract Logix vs SAP Ariba Contract Management

Likelihood to Recommend

Suited for legal depts to manage contracts from cradle to grave—security levels assigned to ensure the integrity of data. It's great for producing reports for management and managing renewals and expirations of agreements is convenient. Contract Logix also does not require extensive computer skills—easy to navigate. Probably not suited for contracts that need payments as there is no link to financials.

SAP Ariba Contract Management is suited for big organizations that manage probably a zillion contracts a lot number of suppliers and need the system to be accessed by folks who range both from a diverse variety of functions as well as roles in terms of need for looking up, editing or executing contracts. It would be less suitable for smaller companies or one off applications or use for contract management as its somewhat tedious to use.

SAP Ariba has Ariba Supply Chain Network that makes Suppliers/Vendors/Buyers onboarding very easy. Ariba Contract Management is very well integrated with Ariba network and hence sharing contractual documents and information are very easy.
SAP Ariba provide integration with SAP ERP which takes out the effort needed to integrate Ariba with SAP.
Ariba exposes API and ITK to do integration if your ERP is none SAP.

The only point I can think that Ariba can improve is the performance issue. Sometimes it is getting very slow. Other than that Ariba functions very well.
In Ariba, assigning facilitators and monitors needs to be simplified.
The customer support team should have more admin rights.

SAP Ariba Contract Management 8.0

Based on 1 answer

Overall, I would say that for large organizations that have their ERP based on SAP, ARIBA is indispensable to maintain as the plan of record system to store, manage and ensure legal and controls compliance of the contracts of the company with suppliers and customers. It is relatively very powerful in terms of the different tasks that can be executed through it, though it is not very user friendly and can be difficult to use if you are new.

I would say overall support is just OK as it's mainly through the SAP account team and I am not aware of any specific or special support for this particular application. Also, the help features are more or less non-existent.

Ariba Contract Management is more user friendly than SAP. It does not have all the interative functionalities that Ariba has, such as the approval flows, etc. It is easier to train users to use Ariba Contract Management than it is to use SAP. Ariba is more affordable than the SAP licenses.

ARIBA has a positive impact on business continuity, maintaining legal and controls compliance, and helps us identify opportunities for savings and cost reductions.
It also helps lower the headcount that would have otherwise been needed to maintain similar compliance.
It is available across departments and functions that boost coordination and thus saves time and provides velocity.
