    Were it not for the fact that IBM CPQ lacks mobile and tablet applications, I would have recommended it 100%. However, I still have that 99% recommendation rate since this solution has saved us a lot by allowing us to close more sales within a short period by creating a channel where we collaborate with customers by offering coupons, sending price lists and orders.

    This is a great tool for heavy outbound teams, call centers, and others who need a greater reach. With integration into the right sales enablement platforms, it's a great tool in reaching the target market. It makes life so much more efficient for reps, who can do in 1 hour what might otherwise take them a week of dialing 10 or 11 digits every time

    Cons
    IBM
    • Unfortunately, IBM CPQ does not have on-premises applications to use while not connected to the internet. This is no more a challenge since we have a robust WIFI connection in our organization premises.

    There are tons of Configure, Price and Quote software, but I have not used a lot of them. However, unlike IBM CPQ, HubSpot Sales Hub isn’t operated in compliance with any ISO standards and secured in a data center making it easy to leak customer sensitive data such as payment details.

    We came from using connect and sell after around 1.5 years. It basically came down to customer service. Their dialing capabilities and custom settings are very similar, both integrate very well with Salesforce and allow us to reach out to prospects, but ConnectLeader's customer support is amazing. If an issue occurs, we can easily submit a ticket and they will get back to us within minutes with a solution or acknowledgement that they're working to get the issue resolved.
