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.
