Coupa Likes & Dislikes

Like

eSourcing Capabilities are really elevating the execution of Procurement Category strategy and CLM brings E2E solutions for our Demand, Planning and Procurement process which is never seen before. In terms of service as implementation partners they have been a key contributor to the deployment of processes and technology but more than that, Coupa has go on and beyond to accommodate all the customer needs that we have had which is extremely important for our success.

Like

it s uptime and trusted solution

Like

Coupa offers a variety of products and services that are bundled together as a single suite. This offers a very tight compatibility and integration between various modules as a result of which there is an instant transition of information between various modules. To take a few examples: Coupa offers an instant sync between Coupa Risk Assess and Coupa core which helps us to ensure we screen/Risk Assess our suppliers while onboarding the suppliers in a timely manner. The direct linkage of Contracts with requisition & invoices helps in tracking spend efficiently & understanding the current spend trends as well as projected spend for our organization.

Dislike

RPM-SIM has many areas of improvement into reporting and how forms are setup, maintained and reported out of, but Coupa has taking the time to address some of our pain points within the existing capabilities which am sure they will evolve in updacoming upgrades

Dislike

pricing for additional modules, not able to test it before but always have to sign/buy for may users for multie years. not agile

Dislike

Coupa offers a wide range of features, customization options and excellent service, the one area where I see room for improvement is in customer specific enhancements. We understand that it's difficult to make customer focused changes and it can be challenging. However, I would like Coupa to further strengthen and streamline their enhancement intake channel to better capture the customer needs

What Your Peers Are Saying About Coupa

IT Analyst
Are there any commercial off-the-shelf products that can help in the bidding/tendering process? I know Ariba, Coupa can, but we are looking for a tool that can help oil and gas downstream companies with these capabilities, especially on the sales side than purchase side. 
Finance Manager
I am interested in seeing the results.  They may come into play as we continually look to improve processes and remove risks, as applicable.  The process we have are more manual and are in the form of templates leveraging Microsoft tools.  Previous employers (retail) used Coupa.

Director of IT
Among the various contract lifecycle management tools available in the market, what do you think of various options like Docusign, SAP ARIBA, Icertis, Coupa? With a dominantly SAP based landscape, which could be a more suitable one? Consider it's a long term investment.
Director of Supply Chain
We are about to start a tender process for this and going to attempt to use the Buy Smart functionality. We also have a SAP based architecture for our ERP however it is unlikely we will go with Ariba mainly based on cost and complexity.
