“A solid and reliable product, with room for improvement in user experience”

4.0
Apr 14, 2026
My overall experience with this provider has been positive, although not without some critical issues. The product has proven functionally solid and quite reliable over time, especially in the core activities for which we chose it. After an initial adaptation phase, we were able to integrate it into our processes without excessive disruption. What I appreciated most was the feeling that the product was designed by someone who truly understands the problem it seeks to solve. It's not perfect, but it's practical and proves very useful in everyday life.

Reviewer Insights for: Keelvar

Keelvar Likes & Dislikes

Like

I really appreciate its practicality: it's not one of those programs full of unnecessary features that complicate your life. The main features are clear, and once you understand the logical flow, you can work quite quickly. Another strong point is its flexibility: while not being completely custom, it still allows you to adapt to different operational needs without having to develop everything from scratch. Furthermore, performance is generally good, and we haven't encountered any significant slowdowns, even with heavy workloads.

Like

Its automation and intelligent sourcing features make supplier management faster and more organised. The platform also provides clear insights that help improve decision-making during procurement.

Like

It's a user-friendly AI platform and has an intuitive interface which makes it accessible for both technical and non-technical users. It's very good for handling complex source events with additional multiple suppliers, constraints and bid structure compared to other traditional tools. It has the ability to translate natural language inputs into automated sourcing which is awesome.

Dislike

The interface could be improved: it's not bad, but it sometimes feels unintuitive, especially for less experienced users. Some operations require more steps than necessary, and it's not always easy to understand where to find certain settings. Support has also been a bit inconsistent: sometimes very responsive, sometimes less so. It's nothing serious, but it's an aspect that I think could be made more consistent.

Automated Translation from Italian
Dislike

The major drawback is that the platform can feel overwhelming for new users because of its advanced features and setup process. Some customizations also take time to configure properly.

Dislike

Well, the first dislike is that the advanced features may require training especially for teams new to sourcing. it has limited public review data compared to other tools and lastly is a cost consideration which may be more suitable for large-mid organizations rather than small businesses.
