  • Simple and easy to understand UI where no extra training is required
  • Very fast processing compared to any other software
  • Very effective workflow for faster end to end results
  • Has wonderful features which are easily understandable
  • SAP can include a help page or a simple guide page for certain new features that are added in latest updates.
  • We get very little information about new SAP products which are in the market.A little more information about new products through an additional page in old products or an latest news/updates page would be wonderful.
  • SAP has always been using white and blue colour combination everywhere.Would love to see and added colour in the interface.

  • comparison of respondents
  • more comparison of proponents
  • sometimes proponents attach documents that are 'missing' when the information is viewed
  • I've received so many complaints from proponents (over many RFPs) that they cannot use Ariba, it is not intuitive. Perhaps create user guides that are readily available for proponents who are less computer savvy
