When we configure a new product, CPQ is very slow. And when we select a new screen the CPQ loads the menus and our product features slowly.

- The open software is somewhat difficult to master as an administrator.
- Report writing could be more intuitive.
- The company seems to cater to larger users.
Vice-President - Marketing
WIELANDConstruction, 51-200 employees
SAP Sales Cloud
- Reporting is lacking. It doesn't always keep accurate record of activities, and doesn't provide much value add vs. internal reporting of the same metrics.
- No rewards program, or features other than simply points that might provide more value to the user community you are trying to create.

Cosential is very intuitive for the AEC industry and has the ability to be customized for your specific needs. The reports are especially helpful, with good visual dashboards.

In terms of overall usability, SAP Sales Cloud can initially be a hectic task to get acquainted with the platform but the dashboard is quite intuitive and easy to navigate. Although, there should be more training modules that can help new employees to get on board with the platform easily.

Product was mostly available. A couple accessibility issues did exist when sending API calls, and there was either no response, or a delayed response.

My original trainer / implementation specialist was fantastic. That relationship has continued, even though I have been officially handed off to the customer service side. The customer service side seems to have higher turnover than normal, but in general they are also very supportive, although not as responsive as I might like.

To be honest, In contrast to previous similar platforms we used as the team, It is doing better, however, it is clear that it could be way better if they can enhance the support.

Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.

The API documentation is good. Development team was able to implement in under two weeks, and normally we were told it was a 12-14 week process.

Cosential is specific to the A/E industry and is the most intuitive software we found for construction.

SAP Sales Cloud has impressive metrics and fulfills most of our organizational requirements, therefore SAP Sales Cloud was our preferred option for improving our sale processes and driving business outcomes. Along with the aforementioned other factors like a product roadmap, pre-existing relationships with other SAP products as well as third-party modules have been critical parameters while opting for this product.
