Configit Quote vs. Salesforce Revenue Cloud

Managing sales for products that are configurable.

CPQ is great if you can devote the time to it to make it perfect for your sales team. It requires a lot of time and energy to build it out and customize, but once that's done it is one of the most powerful tools you will have. Having an expert in CPQ is really helpful as well.

• Integration with SAP
• Intuitive Interface
• Focus on Information rather than Transactional Processing

• Salesforce CPQ is great for being able to quickly and easily build product bundles in an intuitive and visually appealing way.
• The product catalog and ability to easily add fields to product records makes setting up products really simple and adds a lot of value to reporting within Salesforce.
• Basic product and configuration rules are very easy to understand and set up.

• I am not sure since I haven't had a direct involvement with the product for a long time

• Our Salesforce is very messy, which tells me it's not super easy to clean up.
• I always have a really hard time removing a contacts from an account - it seems like you can't simply remove the relationship so we have lots of people named DO NOT CONTACT or things of that nature.
• Sometimes when saving it doesn't seem like things actually save.

The product as well as the team that is behind the design and implementation of the solution are second to none

The company is very easy to work with and is growing by leaps and bounds. We do not anticipate switching vendors anytime in the near future

After the initial set up, end users who are not the most tech savy are generally finding it easy to navigate

There have been some issues with multi-year pricing of certain products and services which we have been assured will be resolved but I guess are still underway, the support team apart from this has not been needed much and in the rare scenarios, it has been needed the resolutions of conflicts has been prompt and quick, so the overall support would have my high regards for being so helpful and customer-oriented so as to assure good performance of their toolset and customer satisfaction.

This has better product capabilities like Manage Order, Mobile, pricing module, select product offers service channel. What I like best is the integration with Salesforce, the ability to create and connect opportunities and there is a lot of flexibility in this tool. It has a very user-friendly platform & navigation across pages is the best Also I like how fast I can create quotes. I also like how detailed you can get with reporting. Any possible metric we can think of can be tracked, measured, and integrated.

• Reduced Quote to Order Lead Time
• Reduction in Production Errors for configurable Products
• Increased understanding of Customer Requirements and elimination of re-work throughout the supply chain

• Easy access to reporting on closed-won, closed-lost, and open quotes.
• Accuracy in data referenced in a quote - it's typically accurate as it is pulled directly from opportunity, looking up to associated subscription start/end dates, etc..
• We lose valuable time in creating quotes ourselves. Quotes were requested and created through sales ops previously, sales did not have access to the excel templates used to generate quotes.
