    Considered Both Products
    Proposal Software
    Chose PMAPS
    I think Qvidian is slightly better only because it let's us create a proposal within the application.
    Chose PMAPS

    Qvidian - in my opinion had less functionality than PMAPS; no way to track use.

    RFP Express - more difficult to maintain content; less filtering capability; formatting difficult/inconsistent when inserting into RFP.

    Chose PMAPS
    I did the vendor analysis and narrowed my selection to Qvidian (which I had used before) and PMAPS (which I had not). I've never regretted my choice. In ease of use alone, PMAPS wins hands down. We're able to use PMAPS when collecting intelligence from our Subject Matter …
    Chose PMAPS
    I used Qvidian / Sant prior to purchasing PMAPs. However, I would honestly use Qvidian over this product. The features were easier to use and my efficiency was better.
    Upland Software
    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
    Qvidian is a more elegant software solution. PMAPS offers almost too much functionality and is extremely expensive.
    Chose Qvidian RFP & Proposal Automation
    I liked how support was included in Qvidian's total price.
    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
    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 …
