The software is somehow integrated with our financial institution making easy to track company expenses. > > **Cons**: The system is not "search friendly" and I find it hard to find certain credit card purchases. This is especially hard when the transaction is already approved or expired. > > Overall my experience using Ariba has been positive and I enjoy using it. It is only the transaction search option that needs to be improved ----- ### "Ariba" — 4.0/5 > **Jenny** | *14 January 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Submitting an invoice is fairly easy to learn and quite repetitive so a lot of copy and paste. You are able to keep track of everything > > **Cons**: Learning curve from different softwares. You have to learn the language of the system compared of others that are easier to understand but easy to use once you learn > > I have been using this software with invoices to create Purchase Orders. It’s very easy to keep track of all of the invoices and their statuses. Depending on your company’s finance team, it takes a while for your pending invoices to be approved but are able to see who you need approval from to be able to follow up. ----- ### "Interesting Product" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 November 2019* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use amongst modules. The Ariba Spend Management Suite makes the managing of spend easy and allows you to have a robust procurement offering for your organization if configured properly. It can be a pretty awesome application when everything is in sync. > > **Cons**: The customer support and sometimes the way that modules had to be configured didn't make sense. If you were an organization that wanted to use a particular feature sometimes you had to buy modules like P2P and Contract Management together to use feature even though you needed nothing else in the contract management module. The customer support was laughable when issues arise and talking with the front end support is usually futile. I'm also not a fan of their release procedures. ----- ### "Easy way to follow business spends" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 June 2019* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best reporting and following programme for supply issues. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, Hard to find correct account line in programme. It can be automatized ----- ### "Easy to intergrate and use" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 June 2019* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easily collate software and business expense requests in an accessible location > > **Cons**: not much, some features can be tucked away in sub menus > > Great tool that I would highly recommend for expense and request tracking ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/415762/intelligent-spend-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/415762/intelligent-spend-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
