    Helps users build quality documents quickly.

    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation is able to store our previously used RFP responses and questionnaires. Historically, we were forced to go back to previously submitted RFPs and have to manually Control+F search within Word documents to find similar phrases and verbiage when …

    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    I was not part of the selection process. But I think it measures up to others that I have seen demoed. I feel like they listen to their customers/partners and always bring new tools out each year that have proven valuable. It integrates with Salesforce as well for document …

    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    I liked how support was included in Qvidian's total price.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Of the competitive vendor demos I have reviewed over the years, each may have its own strength. Some may be set up to drive compelling differentiators or solutions (E.g., propLIBRARY.com). Some may be built on existing CRMs (E.g., Qorus). Some may have tablet-friendly …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    We did evaluate other systems. The names currently escape me. We thought for the money and product, Qvidian was the best choice.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Qvidian's customer service versus that of AccountEdge is like night and day. I was on the phone for hours with AccountEdge only to have my issue left unresolved and me disgruntled. Qvidian has always promptly responded to any issues I may have throughout the day and stayed with …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    PMAPS is much more intuitive and search is more configurable, but in the end Qvidian is cheaper, and has an auto-build feature that while it's not useful to me, it can be useful to others creating simple proposals. For more complicated proposals, I would use another software, …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Back in 2012 when we were evaluating new software, the only other choice we looked at was PMAPS. At the time, it had a very dated user interface and its functionality was far behind what Qvidian was currently offering. I can't speak for how PMAPS has evolved today, because I've …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    I have only used Qvidian.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    The choice was made at corporate and pushed to the divisions
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    We have not used other products. Previous products we used were bought out and replaced by Qvidian.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    We had to get rid of Pragmatech because it was no longer supported, and when all of our computers got upgraded, we could no longer use it. Pragmatech made it easier to search for, edit, and add new records to the database.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    We have been using Qvidian for years, when Compass was introduced in our company. Having spent over a year using Compass, I would not recommend it for writing proposals. In all fairness, that is not Compass' strength.

    Compass is ok for general document sharing for informational …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    It's harder to get content into Qvidian, but it's much, much easier to retrieve content.

    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Qvidian was the most cost effective and easy to use automation software we came across while looking to purchase a proposal automation software package. The support team and training also was head and shoulders above the competition.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Proposal Software.com (PMAPS) - slightly high in prce than qvidian. It is virtually the same concept of Qvidian, just had more knowledge of Qvidian
    RFP Monkey - this software has only library capabilities and limited customer support, no document production, no user and/or role …

    In the past, we have utilized our internal server and Qvidian's predecessor, Kadient. The server stores information, but does not allow automated project building, so no time is saved. Additionally, merge codes are none existent, thereby increasing time spent on documents in …

    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    The 'Q' has been in place since I joined the company and this is the only proposal automation software I have used. While I have not used any of the competitions products I would assume that they need to be at the very least close to the services that the 'Q' provides. Other …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Qvidian is actually a combination of both SANT and Pragmatech, which were the leaders in the industry - now you have the best of both.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    While the market for proposal automation tools has changed greatly over the last five years, Qvidian has been at the forefront of innovation and responding to customer needs. Part of this has been through acquisitions, which enables them to feature the best functionalities of …
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    Qvidian is a more elegant software solution. PMAPS offers almost too much functionality and is extremely expensive.
