Conga Advantage CPQ vs. MeetFox

It is well suited to providing quick pricing recommendations, allowing those who are quoting to get our agreements out efficiently. Where I find there may be some limitations is around the details that it uses to establish recommendations and the overrides. For example it would be nice to have a way to set overrides for those criteria like length of agreement, etc. and have it apply across the board

MeetFox offers two must-have services for the price of one. It has a good look and feel to the platform and is easy to learn not only from the subscriber side but for your customers. Plus, MeetFox is growing and open to customer feedback and suggestions. Clients love the meeting reminder notifications as well. A great product for coaching and consulting businesses!

• Our number one complaint with Conga CPQ has been speed. In my experience, Conga CPQ is extremely slow, especially for large orders.
• In my opinion, the configuration methods of Conga CPQ are outdated and error-prone. One literally puts configurations into string-based custom settings, including the API field names. This often leads to deployment issues and run-time configuration errors.
• In my experience, Conga CPQ is everything but simple to develop. You need things like a 12-step pricing callback to support custom pricing.
• In my experience, Conga CPQ support is not responsive.
• When it comes time to lock in a renewal contract for Conga CPQ, in my experience, they delay engagement, so you are truly behind the 8 ball when it comes time to decide if you are going to continue with Conga CPQ.

Conga CPQ is a great tool but lacks good support and [a] very limited knowledge base which doesn't include day to day errors which users face, thus leading us to support and take more time in turn. Also cart performance can be improved drastically which will enhance the user experience as the user doesn't have to wait for the pricing.

MeetFox gives me all that I need at an affordable price for where my business needs are at the present. In time as I grow, I will reevaluate based on how MeetFox grows.

I have not heard of any issue

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.

My onboarding experience was great and answered all my questions.

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

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

We selected Apttus CPQ over SteelBrick due to the simplicity of SteelBrick's out of the box pricing and ability to customize quoted products. As a global organization with selling a highly configurable products, we felt the ability of Apttus to handle our requirements as standard functionalty rather than a customization was a material difference between the platforms.

I think MeetFox provides an outstanding combination of two separate platforms I need for my business into one easy-to-use platform. As a startup coaching business, MeetFox saves me money and time by learning one platform that provides two key features necessary for me to provide an intimate and affordable coaching service. It may not be as robust as acuity or zoom but it meets my needs for where I am. I highly recommend checking it out if you want scheduling and video conferencing on a combined platform. Plus you can’t beat the price!

• The ability to generate engineered configurations that is right by construction has reduced the cycle time of the customer engagement. The fact that we are able to guide the process and end up with a validated bill of material reduces the iterations with the customers.
• As long as the validations rules are correct the generated bill of material is accurate. We are now looking at using Apttus to perform quality checks in our product rules since the tool is able to test different configurations quickly and efficiently.
• Configuration that use to take weeks and consumed valuable engineering resources has been transformed to become a customer facing application that is simple enough for customer to self-service.

• Combined two subscription services into one saving me time and money.
• Ability to offer my clients an intimate connection with coaching meetings.
• Allows me the versatility I need to create multiple meeting types and coordinate all my meetings.
• Is simple to set up and easy to use.
