Workday Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Strategic sourcing application suites are a set of related, integrated solutions that support upstream procurement activities; in other words, the strategic work the procurement team does for planning, assessment and performance management. Strategic sourcing application suites are used primarily by companies with $800 million or more in annual revenue that, typically, have the necessary critical mass of spend. The strategic sourcing application suite delivers four primary capabilities. Most vendors offer these capabilities as separately licensable modules:
Spend analysis is a software- and service-based solution for cleansing, enhancing, classifying and analyzing spend data.
It features rule-based data cleansing, automated category-level classification, analytics and decision support.
Automated spend analysis is used in procurement and sourcing to quantify spend by supplier, category and part, and to identify opportunities for cost reduction and supply base resizing.

Your available ratings jump from average to outstanding and I don't think that's the right progression. While I'd rate Scout as above average, I don't think that all the way to "outstanding" should be the next choice.

Scout can track a specific project well, but has limitations related to reporting and dashboard functionalities.

A wonderfully useful tool with enough flexibility to meet 95% of any of your needs. Suppliers love it, stakeholders love it, and so does my team.
