This software is so complex we can say that Salesforce works so much better in the interface. Also, the features provided by Salesforce are far better than this software. It also includes Storing data, API development, and so many other functionalities which help a developer …

There is no comparison to a fully functional instance of CPQ. Nothing comes close due to the amount of customization and ease of use that CPQ offers once it's fully built out. Other solutions may be easier to build or administer, but for the users and business needs, CPQ is the …

It is complementary to salesforce so I don´t think there is a necessity to compare between groove and Salesforce Revenue Cloud.

SalesForce Revenue Cloud has been leaps and bounds ahead of the softwares I used to use! I had used Google Sheets at first (since it was free), then bought Excel briefly thinking that would suffice as a good CRM layout. Turns out I was wrong and needed something more. Revenue …

This program is just more advanced and customizable. It worked for our diverse team needs considering the size and complexity of our portfolio. This was just the right choice for us. The other CRM's were great for smaller-scale enterprises at the time that I used them.

Salesforce CPQ was faster in performance and suited our needs.
Its direct integration on the SFDC platform made it easier to implement.

Salesforce CPQ [(formerly SteelBrick)] seamlessly integrates with Salesforce allowing us to have less integrations to manage. Releases don't break a connection causing delays in the sales process.

We felt Salesforce had less risk with integrations to our CRM - also Big Machines couldn't handle our complexity.

CPQ is a more inline, integrated and user-friendly product compared to Apttus's offering. The fact that it was bought and embedded by Salesforce into the platform and the support that entails, was the big differentiator for us.

Salesforce CPQ is much better in user interaction, automation, AI, and integration with CRM, and other business systems.

It is a strong offering if your a Salesforce customer. We previously used Panda Doc and the integration with Saleforce was just not robust enough as we've expanded. Panda Doc allowed for much more customization and control of templates. However, the pricing rules, …

It was not my choice to move to Salesforce CPQ. Our organization chose to move to this platform because Octiv gave the reps too much flexibility. They wanted to tighten the reins. Everyone hates Salesforce CPQ and the guy who implemented it isn't even at the company anymore.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
We looked into using BigMachines and FPX but decided to implement Apttus many years ago. The Apttus implementation never went live after several hiccups along the way and we shifted our focus to Salesforce CPQ which has had it's moments as well. Overall, Salesforce CPQ is the …

A software that I highly recommend. We all managed to learn how to use it and in a short time we were already increasing the number of daily calls handled. Customers also increased and the performance of the agents increased by 100%, and that is why we did not change our call software.

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.

Pros
  • Helps with dialing pre-set client lists.
  • Helps create a clear handoff between team members due to automated profile documentation.
Read full review
  • 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.

Cons
  • I would like to see the inclusion of being able to not only record the call, but the transcript of the call, to have more control.
  • Integrations with social networks and other channels would be very important to not depend on other software.
  • It is not as intuitive and easy to use at first as I would like so that all employees can quickly start using it.

  • 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.

Support Rating
If I have an issue with the interface between Salesforce.com and Dialsource, usually the Support team is reaching out to me to let me know the connection between the two programs has been altered or disconnected before I even get a chance to realize it myself.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Thanks to DialSource we have been able to improve the performance of our employees and serve more customers in less time. The staff has learned to efficiently use all channels of communication with customers and provide them with timely responses to their requests.

  • 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.
