    Before learning about Circlewise, I had to manually perform tasks through Google Analytics and Excel to receive the general traffic reports on my website. However, with this simple and beautifully designed software, all the work is done automatically.- Circlewise is a great tool for anyone who wants to take their business to the next level.

    Were it not for the fact that IBM CPQ lacks mobile and tablet applications, I would have recommended it 100%. However, I still have that 99% recommendation rate since this solution has saved us a lot by allowing us to close more sales within a short period by creating a channel where we collaborate with customers by offering coupons, sending price lists and orders.

    Cons
    Circlewise
    • I find that communication with the team can be somewhat difficult.
    • Regarding the software, it would be great to include hyperlinks in the publishers' profile with the content published by the affiliates.

    • Unfortunately, IBM CPQ does not have on-premises applications to use while not connected to the internet. This is no more a challenge since we have a robust WIFI connection in our organization premises.

    There are tons of Configure, Price and Quote software, but I have not used a lot of them. However, unlike IBM CPQ, HubSpot Sales Hub isn’t operated in compliance with any ISO standards and secured in a data center making it easy to leak customer sensitive data such as payment details.
