DealHub is well suited to put controls on the contracting process. You are able to create price books in DealHub and run all calculations through their system to then push back to Salesforce opportunity/opportunity line items. The system can handle everything from the first meeting pipeline (We require all pipeline $$ to originate from a DealHub Proposal sync) to signature within Dealroom -- Their electronic signing tool. Where DealHub may not be appropriate is if you have a very complex selling motion or have very different selling operations within multiple regions. We have two core regions and each one is essentially set up as its own entity, requiring double work to update.
Best suited for after demonstrations when requested by the prospect when they are looking for pricing with T&C. The data room is also great that acts like a drop box for opportunities and their contacts. Helps share pertinent information with others in the organization.
Nothing too specific here since this is the first CPQ tool I've used; maybe the training around how the actual DealRoom presents to a customer would have been helpful, but I operate more in an old-school way and like to send my contracts directly to the people I'm working with via email or DocuSign... the whole DealRoom thing scares me a little.
Sometimes the fillable fields don't automatically map properly and you have to manually adjust.
Plan tiers and pricing recently changed, so now we get less value and less features (limited templates, no more pricing tables or invoicing/connected payment) for the same price, which is pricy for a small business.
Easier, integrated invoicing as an included feature (so we don't have to use a different software for invoicing/payment collection) would be ideal. You have to upgrade to the Business Plan for this.
The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new
Once it's configured it's relativley maintenance free. Our sales opps team effectively manages the tools It's easy to add new products to the CP-Q. It's flexible for product and service sales. It's security is robust. The approval workflow is easy to understand and use. The integration with CRM is essential for the business
Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.
The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.
I personally haven't had to reach out directly to the DealHub team, but they did a great job enabling our director of RevOps, who is basically our one-stop shop for all DealHub related questions. We've never had a question (in my experience) that needed to be raised to the actual DH support team.
Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.
We had the basic quoting functionality within Salesforce but were quickly outgrowing that as our deals grew in size, structure and complexity. The primary competitor we evaluated against Valooto was SteelBrick and we chose Valooto due to the promised faster implementation, lower cost and it being a more streamlined solution.
We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our team an immense amount of time.
DealHub has saved me at least 30 mins on each proposal/quote that I've created. Gone are the days of having to update a Google Sheet, double-check the math, and all the misc. terms or incentives that come along with driving a deal forward.
DealHub reduces my time in Salesforce each quote that's created by about 5 minutes.
DealHub makes the internal approval process much faster as well; Sales Director receives approval via email, if CRO approval is needed, the approval-needed notification is sent right to the CRO, following Director level approval. Clicks not emails.
