Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management is light years ahead of Conga (formerly Apttus CPQ). It seems ARM continues to innovate while Conga/Apttus lags behind. The injection of AI and Automation is also far superior in Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management due to the …

I think Revenue Cloud definitely gives a lot more functionality, whereas you can't do contracts management contracts and order management inside of Sales Cloud and Service Cloud. So I guess it's just a different product that's used for a different use case.
Chose Agentforce Revenue Management
It's good in some ways and bad in others. I would say it's good in that it has the building blocks to have way more functionality than many other products, but it's much more complicated to administer.

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.
Chose Agentforce Revenue Management
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.

This is an efficient tool and user-friendly.

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.
Chose Agentforce Revenue Management
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, …
Chose Agentforce Revenue Management
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.

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.

  • 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

  • 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.

Very useful for eCommerce businesses to generate repeat purchases and build loyal customers via subscriptions.

Because it looked almost impossible to integrate it with Zoho CRM while our Sales Operations team was working on it. But thankfully it worked at last but at the expense of a month's time. However, it has made every possible Revenue operations task simpler now. And that has ultimately made our team more efficient in terms of work hours spent on manual work.

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.

This has better product capabilities like Manage Order, Mobile, pricing module, select product offers service channel. What I like best is the integration with Salesforce, the ability to create and connect opportunities and there is a lot of flexibility in this tool. 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.

  • 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.
