If your organisation intends to use the full P2P suite, then Coupa has better features like customisation of Order layouts (you only get one on Ariba). For tail spend management, Spot Buys are supported on both, but Coupa additionally supports Amazon in some EU countries and UK.įor professional buyers the products are fairly matched in terms of features, but Ariba has launched POD (Procurement Operations Desk) allowing control and insight over spend and workloads. However certain features like online ERP budget check, or visual presentation of category tiles is better in Ariba. if most of your users are occasional users, the complexities of the requisition screens are well hidden away and just the important information is presented on the screen.

This is not a deal breaker though as Coupa’s UI is very clean and simple. For a non-professional end user, both products offer regular catalogues, ad hoc requests, customisable forms, quick quotation etc for the users, with policy guidance.įrom a look and feel perspective, Ariba with its new Guided Buying tiles seems more intuitive and can enforce policies to really guide the user.
