Amdocs CES is well suited for organizations looking for robust and highly integrated CES tools, I would definitely recommend it for medium or large sized enterprises. Is less appropiate for small business that do not have a skilled team in place to operate it and doing maintenance.

What I like best is the ease of use to be able to track all opportunities and quotes in my daily sales tracker I also like the fact that you can reorganize the view for your opportunities. For instance, it is very similar to a spreadsheet where you can filter them by date, dollar amount, name, and several other ways. I found this to be less appropriate when we have to do multiple roles while assigning one task to multiple users. Column resizing within the Quote Line Editor is not supported in the Salesforce mobile app.

  • Highly scalable plattform
Read full review
Salesforce
  • It does a lot of pricing models really well. So like tiered pricing when you're selling a product has tiered pricing.
  • The out of the box approval functionalities is really good. It can trigger approvals based on a ton of different custom criteria.
  • The data it creates and tracks is really accurate and robust.

Cons
Amdocs
  • Is a very robust service, but it could be more economically accessible
  • It could have more features powered by AI, Auto-Typing, etc for data input into the platform
  • Could improve Amdocs delivery center

  • 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 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

Usability
Amdocs
The most robust tool available on market, highly intuitive, scalable. But the process to start operations and customization is quite hard/complicated.

I would give it an eight because it's very customizable in the way that you want to create it. I think I'm just docking points because sometimes there can be a little too much customization, which can make it a little complicated, but it just depends on the complexity of your business and how you guys build it out in the first place.

Support is centralized in Israel, sometimes the time when we get answers are considered delayed compared with the price you are paying.

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.

Amdocs CES is more robust, scalable and powerful. Although the project delivery method and high customizations / development to reach the final problemas are points of attention

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 best solution possible.

Return on Investment
Amdocs
  • It has empowered our organization to handle our customer requests without services interruption.
  • The customization required to put the service operational, at the beginning, delayed some processes.
  • Amdocs CES has helped driving innovation and aligns with our digital transformation objectives.

Salesforce
  • 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.
