DealHub is great for making quick quotes on the fly and allows for the ability to draft proposals before going through a deeper internal review process. I love how DealHub auto-updates Salesforce as well, so I don't have to go back and update areas on the opportunity record twice. DealHub also reduces error significantly since it intelligently knows our products and the differentiators that have been set up by our admins.
It is a great solution for small to medium-sized businesses. It is fairly customizable, and their support team has been great to work with us. They have helped us build some custom workflows to push a customer straight to a credit card page once they sign the proposal. This has really helped increase conversions when signing on a new customer.
Usability is great overall. I [wish] it was a little more intuitive to work through the "price locks" on the actual product SKU's, but that just means more training is needed for me personally. Overall though, from my point-of-view as an AE who was using Google Sheets to create quotes at my last company and now here, DealHub speeds up my process immensely and allows for me through the quote-creation process with ease.
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.
I didn't choose Proposable over DocuSign, but I did use it at a previous company. Proposable is great for the smaller business and makes the creation and sending of agreements so easy! DocuSign was nice, but it was more complex in my experience and created a bottleneck for our sales team to get approval. I'm sure this was more of our own internal process, but between the two, Proposable was much faster to get what you needed in the form of an agreement. Less time freed up more time for selling!
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.
