What 208 Arbolus experts think of Ariba

NPS distribution is skewed positive, with most scores in the 8-10 range and strong adoption among large enterprises. High annual spenders and SAP-based organizations show clear intent to renew, especially after multi-year implementations. Stickiness is reinforced within the SAP ecosystem and multi-entity environments, though some mid-tier buyers express moderate satisfaction and concerns about complexity and cost. Core sentiment drivers are platform breadth, integration, and supplier network, while drawbacks include cost escalation, rigidity, and modular rollouts.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
