    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.

    Very well suited to technology and technology service provider businesses. Very much best in its class for those focused on more than just vendor product resale.

    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.

    ServicePath stood out from the rest due to: a) Product management including cost modeling, through CPQ, and client lifecycle management capability. b) Easy of use and simplification of complex scenarios. c) Easy to use, very capable, no code configured, and guided products.
