VendorXray vs Ivalua
Ivalua requires a 6–12 month implementation and ongoing consultant support. VendorXray ships pre-configured — you're running your first evaluation the day it arrives.
Ivalua is a highly configurable source-to-pay platform known for its flexible data model. It's enterprise-only, cloud-based, and typically requires a dedicated admin and consultant support to operate effectively.
VendorXray is self-serve by design. No consultant required, no implementation project, no dedicated admin. It runs on your hardware and produces evidence-backed vendor recommendations out of the box.

Why teams choose VendorXray
No consultant required
Ivalua's flexibility comes at a cost — it requires ongoing IT and consultant support to configure and maintain. VendorXray is pre-configured and self-serve from day one.
Sensitive data stays local
Ivalua is cloud-only — your supplier intelligence, negotiation data, and evaluation criteria live on their infrastructure. VendorXray keeps everything on your hardware.
Productive in hours, not months
Ivalua implementations run 6–12 months before teams are productive. VendorXray ships pre-configured on a laptop — your first evaluation runs the same day.
