IBM CPQ vs. Sofon Sales Configurator

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.

Incentivized

• Firstly, IBM CPQ makes it easy for customers to make rapid products purchases through configuration, pricing and ordering processes.
• Centralizing selling procedure in one platform by communicating products pricing to clients.
• Improving ROI by attracting customers when discounts are introduced on products as well as offering coupons.

• 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.

Timely and courteous response time from IBM Support any time there was a request that needed to be made.

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.

Incentivized

• IBM CPQ-Salesforce integration makes it easy, effective, and cost-effective to create quotes for customers.
• Since no hectic selling procedure is undertaken, then our organization is able to generate high revenue by developing, managing, and negotiating quotes with clients.
• Centralizing selling process makes it rapid and effective to communicate any amendment on pricing of our banking services.
• Automating selling process helps guide clients through selection, configuration, quoting, and ordering procedures of products and services.
