Deltek GovWin IQ vs. Drift

From a strategy and marketing perspective I get a ton of use out of Deltek. It is my go to tool for looking for relevant content as I help identify our strategy and sales pursuits. This tools gives good insight into future planning capabilities along with current opportunities and contracts that we should be considering. I could use more contacts in the federal space that are relevant to my business. I see a lot of non relevant but when it comes to the AEC area we need more focused point of contacts at federal sites

• Whenever there have been challenges with the product, the team has always been hungry to fix the issues that we raise.
• In-platform reporting on conversion metrics can be improved. For example, it's not possible to report on business vs non business email capture rate (currently reported by our CSM every week), and to get the most detail about meetings that have been booked, you have to export data and review in Sheets/Excel. Drift responds quickly, and they're already working on this... so by the time you read this review, the reports will probably be fully functional in the platform.

The customer-facing usability is great, but managing drift from the back end can be challenging at times. This is mainly due to slow loading speeds when it comes to editing or viewing routing. Coupling this with no autosave function, changes are hard to make and can easily be lost.

The Drift team has been remarkably responsive to me. From support reps available in-app, to my account manager committed to my long-term success, to regular connections and interactions with their leadership team. They have been wholeheartedly committed to answering every question and solving every issue so that we can succeed as a team, and I can succeed as a marketer!

Bloomberg does a better job with events in my sector. As far as ease of use, customer service I would go to Deltek GovWin IQ every time. I would like to see additional areas added that would increase my usage so I don't need to use multiple tools. Such as contacts and events

I have used a few different chat platforms, the most popular one being Intercom. They both have some similarities in functionalities and features. I have had more success with Drift and the calendar link/automation. I love the fact that a prospect can easily find my calendar link and book a demo without needing to speak with me.
