    N/ASAP CPQ (replacing the former CallidusCloud CPQ solution) has been built to be independent of any CRM. The vendor says that this makes their solution more flexible. The vendor also says their solution provides businesses the flexibility to customize and enhance the solution without the constraints of CRM code. Pricing and product catalog changes can also be made by the users without having to rely on a CRM administrator.N/A

    Integration with Microsoft Access - We use Access for a lot of different Queries, such as for our bar back to know the specifics of each bar. Caterease allows Access to pull data directly so all we have to do is run the report instead of entering all the information manually. Same with diagramming, having software like Placez that pulls from Caterease allows for such things as table and chair counts to be pulled directly from Caterease instead of having to place each individual table.

    I would recommend SAP CPQ because it is powerful and works really well for handling complex pricing quotes and approvals. It save time and keep everything in one systems.

    Cons
    Caterease
    • It’s a great program, but it’s missing some aspects that would be incredibly useful. It has the ability to store venues and locations that you’ve used in the past, but it doesn’t allow you to associate a tax rate with the saved venue. As our company handles events all throughout Southern California and tax rates are constantly changing, it would be nice to be able to assign certain tax rates to certain zip codes and venues.
    • It can be a little finicky sometimes with its equipment conflict algorithm. There will be events In the system that have been marked as cancelled, yet it will insist that an event I am working on has an equipment conflict with it (even though that event is not going through). It will not let you save out of your event and, sometimes, will end up deleting all your changes and progress, which is incredibly frustrating.
    • I wish there was a way to export PDFs of your proposals without re-saving your entire proposal. Sometimes, clients will ask for two versions of the same proposal with just slight changes, and it’s annoying to have to go in and completely re-do and save the proposal and have to adjust it back to the original.
    • It would be nice if there was a way to see a history of all of the changes that had been made in a proposal, that would be great. Because we often have many hands on each event we do, having a comprehensive list of all the changes made to each proposal and the date and times, and users who made these changes would be an incredible asset.

    • It is a complex solution and could do better on ease of use
    • Perhaps give mini explainer tutorials as you begin using it

    We definitely want to renew based on the functionality and the use we give to it. However you never know 100% so that's why it is not a 10. Let's imagine if pricing changed significantly or they made sudden changes to the product which we considered negative... Then we would move elsewhere. This is highly unlikely though

    it make the pricing and quoting part easier and able to integrate with other sap products easily but the ui could have been better and the customizations is not straight forward, requires deep expertise. which make the work more difficult. but instead of custom designing. this way we can reduce the coding and can go straight ahead with custom pricing part

    Support Rating
    Caterease
    I have not had to use the support in my over 3 years of using Caterease. This is why I gave it a 9 rating because even though I haven't had to interact with support, the fact that I haven't had to use support speaks volumes to how good the software is and how it is user friendly.

    I haven’t used too many other events programs in the past – at a former company, we used the back end of our website in order to create events, but Caterease is a lot more user-friendly. Our website wasn’t particularly fancy – it didn’t allow us to conflict check or see if there was another event at the same time. It was used for the sole purpose of posting the information to our system – not for creating full proposals. Caterease is much more effective for what we need to use it for in this context.

    Return on Investment
    Caterease
    • Has made our team more efficient and be able to have a central place to store all info so everyone can access it.
    • Manually printing BEOs has proven to be incredibly inefficient as they get updated quickly and often times just causes confusion and mistakes.
    • It's nice to be able to generate contracts fairly quickly for clients
