Apttus

Apttus CPQ excels for complex contract and/or complex pricing requirements. If your business has simple pricing rules, a less full featured solution may be more appropriate.Apttus CPQ is an easy system to administer, using the same object logic as the Salesforce platform.We implemented Apttus for virtually all of our sales representative processes, and in doing so found that we virtually eliminated speculative ordering.

Coupa

This tool is so incredibly affordable even the smallest of companies should be using it. You can easily pay for the system with successful sourcing events. The system is so configurable I'm not sure there is an industry it wouldn’t be successful in. From a retail perspective, I love the hosted catalog, sourcing, and P2P modules, they're exactly what I need.

Pros

  • Apttus CPQ handles complex pricing rules with ease. We have tiered pricing, user based pricing, and quantity pricing discounts. Apttus CPQ allows us to easily provide correct pricing based on attributes of the sales rep, the customer and the product.
  • Apttus CPQ administration is easy compared to similar products. As a product available on the Force.com platform, we were able to cross train our Salesforce administrators and take on the additional administrative overhead without significantly increasing our sales operations team size.
  • Apttus CPQ is flexible. We are able to rapidly test and deploy new pricing models and offers using the Apttus model.

  • While the mobile app is super convenient, it can be a little laggy.

Support

Based on 2 answers
Tier1/tier 2 support can only handle native functionality. Customizations have to be escalated to developers which aren’t included in the support program.

I go ahead and copy the people I directly worked with on implementation for assistance. I would rate them an 8 for support assistance.

Online Training

Apttus7.0
Based on 1 answer
We attended 5 hours worth of webinars early on.

We had to understand how objects worked to figure out how to structure our data.

I would have liked more in-depth training but it would have been an additional cost

Implementation

Apttus1.0
Based on 3 answers
Be iterative. Take the opportunity to build a catalog based on how Apttus works well. Learn the tool yourself or use an SI. Take the time to build a configuration / pricing migration tool with X-Author for Excel or roll your own. Stick with OOTB Apttus as any customization will cost you every time a new version is released

Alternatives Considered

We used QuoteWerks which did not integrate well with Salesforce. It had no approval process and the price book lived on each person's computer. If they did not connect to the server they were quoting old pricing. It allowed them to create products on the fly.

Coupa does well compared to its competitors. Coupa has an easy to use interface. It's an all cloud based, SaaS. Reporting in Coupa is also above the competition. Coupa also requires less maintenance, upgrades are automatic and we don't need to worry about being on the latest version. Coupa is one of the top vendors in the space!

Return on Investment

  • Time saved by senior leadership reviewing and approving quotes, 90% of the process is automated and can't be messed up by reps
  • Accounting is now friendly with sales, not a the opposite
  • Customer satisfaction with the purchasing process is up, no slipped deals due to mistakes by the reps on quotes causing delays in end of quarter deals
