Considered Both Products
Quadient Inspire
Chose Quadient Inspire
Quadient Inspire is more user friendly as compared to Opentext Exstream. The user interface, the options for editing are very simple in Quadient Inspire, we can see in the layout what all options do we need, which is a bit complex in Opentext Exstream. Both are CCM solutions …
Chose Quadient Inspire
Its been years since I've formally evaluated competing products. At my last look, again if you in need of a full variable print solution to drive volumes of production, there is no other software which comes close.
Chose Quadient Inspire
Quadient excels in speed, functionality, robust features offered and more. I haven't experienced anything as complete as Quadient Inspire.
Chose Quadient Inspire
This workhorse blows DesignMerge away. Allowing for an abundance of more complexity.
Chose Quadient Inspire
Planet Pres This software was by far inferior to Quadient Inspire in both user friendliness and processing power. It also has a lot more scope in the software to grow into other avenues where as planet Pres is just a document composition software. As your organisation grows …
Chose Quadient Inspire
For the past 5 years, I have been consistently using Quadient Inspire products for customer communication management. The best part of Quadient products is the easy GUI which makes it easy even for non-technical users. And Quadient has a knowledge-sharing site called Quadient …
Chose Quadient Inspire
Quadient is more powerful [than] them. Because Quadient Inspire uses all inbuilt features and this is a full CCM service suite. There is very little need to integrate this tool with others for more features and advancements. This tool has better GUI than others and the support …
Chose Quadient Inspire
We have looked at no other software.
Chose Quadient Inspire
Quadient Inspire was used by a third-party supplier for document composition so the choice to use Designer and Interactive was set as we were bringing the function in-house. Adding CJM came afterward and a thorough review of the top 10 journey mapping software in the market was …
Chose Quadient Inspire
I believe that Inspire stacks up well against the other products I've seen. While others have some nice fancy features, I believe that Inspire is the complete package.

The breadth of the solution, in particular, allows you to cover many potential use cases in one solution with …
Chose Quadient Inspire
Back in the 2004-2005, I was working in Telecommunications company. We used Elixir Opus for our document composition. We ran into Quadient software (at the time it was called GMC PrintNet - version 4.5) and were simply amazed. It was unlike anything we have used before. All the …
Chose Quadient Inspire
This is my first product in this category and I believe my company selected Quadient Inspire because amongst all the other software available out there, this was the more suitable to our use, and the price is also affordable.
Chose Quadient Inspire
Previously we used Objectif Lune's PlanetPress suite. A few years ago, when I first became aware of it, this appeared to revolutionise the possibilities when compared to what went before. But now there has been a similar quantum leap thanks to Quadient Inspire. The intuitive …
Chose Quadient Inspire
I have been using this solution since the beginning... and before that I used the previous incarnation... from Printnet 3, to Printnet T, to GMC Inspire Designer, to Quadient Inspire. One of the best things about this solution is that they are constantly evolving, which allows …
Chose Quadient Inspire
The above drop down would not allow me to pick the similar products that I have used previously.

Planet Pres :
Chose Quadient Inspire
Quadient Inspire is a lot more user friendly and faster.
Chose Quadient Inspire
Having used the legacy platform EMC xPression (now part of OpenText Exstream) the extra functionality of being both a data and composition tool reenforces the market leading stance that Quadient has held for the last 5 years.

The roadmap and focus on continuous improvement and …
QuestionPro
Chose QuestionPro
QuestionPro is at and on par with other solutions. It's easy to use as Qualtrics and has much more functionality than surveymonkey. The price per user is great and very affordable comparatively. There is no loss of function. QuestionPro is always improving and very open to …
Chose QuestionPro
QuestionPro greatly exceeds Google and Microsoft in analytics and data presentation. The ability to filter responses and automatically update statistical evaluation is unrivaled, as the other software primarily export data as CSV or Excel files. Google and QuestionPro are both …
Chose QuestionPro
QuestionPro and Qualtrics are both good products with extensive feature sets. However, Qualtrics starts licenses very inexpensively, then after it becomes clear that changing vendors would be expensive, they commonly double the price. That happened to us and if you search the …
Chose QuestionPro
First of all, QuestionPro has powerful futures when we compare it with others. I am not sure but somehow interface of the product is always important for some more than its functionality. QuestionPro has many features, functionality and has a great interface. It is easy to use …
Chose QuestionPro
SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, SurveyGizmo. SurveyMonkey and SurveyGizmo are perfectly fine for simple surveys and have also improved enormously over the years, we are currently evaluating Qualtrics.
Chose QuestionPro
QuestionPro is better or on par with these programs. I would say that it's better than SurveyMonkey and Zoomerang, as it's more customizable and professional "looking". It's on par with Qualtrics as it has a lot of the same functionality and customizability. The relative …
Chose QuestionPro
QuestionPro is a better product; it is a more complete product with more detailed questions available to the user. Additionally it has a greater support system. Furthermore, QuestionPro has recently developed more graphics to visually show the descriptive statistics.

User Testimonials
Quadient InspireQuestionPro
Likelihood to Recommend
Quadient Inspire is well suited to complex processes and requests. It is very well designed software which includes numerous plug in options for ease of use with other software. They have built in security functions to protect intellectual property and prohibit unauthorized changes. This software is great for people who need control and large feature sets or work with quantities in the millions. Of course, it also works fine on smaller projects. Where it would be overkill is for environments which only need simple variable pieces. Just setting up an address block? If this is your regular job, this software is excessive

I would recommend it for VERY simple projects. For anything that requires extensive programming, it's probably better to have a professional survey programmer develop the code rather than the research manager or director. Otherwise, it's an easy to use and intuitive program. It's also a good option if pricing is a concern.

Pros
  • Highly flexible data ingestion
  • Clear and powerful workflow design that makes support easy to understand as teams evolve
  • Great internal debugging tool that simplifies and accelerates the development cycle
  • Powerful scripting structure available at nearly every aspect of data management, composition, and finishing allowing for specialized requirements not available in the standard toolset to be met
Read full review
  • Once you have designed a survey it is easy to send out to respondents and administer.
  • QuestionPro offers a wide range of question types and sophisticated options such as randomization of responses and logic trees.
  • QuestionPro generates basic charts that are decent for visual inspection of results of survey.
  • Earlier versions of the user interface were intuitive and easy to use.

Cons
  • Usually quick to de-bug/resolve any issues, currently having a problem saving production profiles. Its more of a little annoyance than a problem and its not a time consuming fix. Maybe I'm just being lazy..
  • No more issues that I have currently come across that haven't already been resolved.

  • I would like the unique key generated for the respondents to be random and not follow a sequential number. We have bypassed this, but it needs additional effort and time.
  • There is an option for the "finish page" which is a report that summarises the survey that has just been completed for the respondent has been in "beta" for a long time!
  • Some of the advanced report options are only available online and would be useful to be able to download in different formats as are the more standard/simple filtered reports.

We are using Quadient Inspire products since last 5 years. And we are able to achieve everything with respect to the customer's needs and desired output. Quadient is adding new very important features every day that make document structure very easy for developers and end users. We would like to stick with Quadient for a long time.

It's a fine product, but it's also a very competitive field, so it wouldn't take much to knock QuestionPro from top tier status. I would like to see more functionality in all programs, so whichever program does that first is likely to get my money in the next round of budgeting.

Usability
There are parts of the product that are extremely easy to use, but it can be hard to build it up to get to that point. I'm a power user and I know I've only barely scratched the surface, but the transactional users barely have to lift a finger to get their letters out. There's a lot more that can be done if I had the time and resources to devote to improving our letters more and there are times when the interface is in my way as to meeting those goals, but by and large, it's a swift and easy to use program.

Reliability and Availability
I am giving this rating because Quadient products are highly available. Most of the time all Quadient products are available. In some cases Quadient always follows the planned schedule and maintenance. They always inform all the partners and clients a day or two in advance so that the clients can work accordingly.

Performance
I want you to rate the performance of the Quadient Inspire 9 out of 10. Because every time we work with Quadient products I never feel any sluggishness and any performance issue. Along with this, one thing that we all should understand is that the performance of any application also depends on the computer hardware. So along with the software application, your hardware should also meet the minimum requirements.

Support Rating
Overall Quadient team is very responsive and willing to come to the table and provide valuable information and resolution for problems. What tier of support you have would defiantly impact the experience you have. Had some challenges with a few members of the support team , but when brought up with the vendor it was quickly resolved

They offer email, chat, and phone support. I have used the chat support several times. Response time was fast, but the rep did not always have the answer. Inquiries are answered quickly and thoroughly.

In-Person Training
I had a couple of weeks of training back in 2005 on the Quadient premises in Hradec Kralowe. The instructor was just great! Besides showing as normal functionalities, he went so far to solve our concrete challenges. He actually encouraged me to become a "real" programmer. I have written my first lines of code in Inspire (GMC PrintNetT) and never looked back.

Implementation Rating
As you consider your digital transformation, think of the people who may object. They have valid criticisms, valuable insights and information critical to your success. Quadient’s advice is to build a strong internal team and confront these questions early. When everyone understands the project from their perspective, the project has a better chance of success.

Quadient Inspire is more user friendly as compared to OpenText Exstream. The user interface, the options for editing are very simple in Quadient Inspire, we can see in the layout what all options do we need, which is a bit complex in OpenText Exstream. Both are CCM solutions but vary a bit in terms of user friendliness.

QuestionPro greatly exceeds Google and Microsoft in analytics and data presentation. The ability to filter responses and automatically update statistical evaluation is unrivaled, as the other software primarily export data as CSV or Excel files. Google and QuestionPro are both easier to navigate than OneDrive’s Forms features. QuestionPro’s visual appeal falls short of Google, but it remains comparable with OneDrive.

Scalability
I am giving this rating because Quadient products are very reliable. Quadient products can be deployed across multiple departments and sites as needed. We can integrate Quadient products with other applications and tools in a very effective, efficient and flexible way. We can deploy Quadient products in Cloud as well.

Return on Investment
  • We've restructured the entire organization on customer journey based on the understanding gain by mapping customer touchpoints from their perspective instead of business processes
  • We have been able to reduce SLAs for comms changes from 8 weeks to 5 days using Quadient Inspire tools and bringing this in-house.
  • We have also standardized templates and reduced the number of variants of comms be being able to build once and deploy across multiple channels.
Read full review
  • Since we're a major research university, we don't really look at ROI as comanpanies do. However, when we switched from using Qualtrics, our five year contract with QuestionPro saved us over $900,000.
  • The only negative impact was that it takes time and effort to move to any new tool.
