Ignition
Ignition (initially called Practice Ignition) performs quite well at proposal building, contract development, tracking and invoicing, payment and collections. The only issues where I see Ignition not being a good fit is in smaller firms that require a more feature rich plan. A perfect example is a solo firm has a limited number of proposals they can activate, and would have to spend extra for additional features like multiple e-signatures.

NiftyQuoter is so simple to use that when we have a new employee it is not difficult to train them ow to creat quotes. I also think that most customers appreciate the ease of navigating in NiftyQuoter. If you are pumping out between 25-50 quotes per week it is super easy to track them all as well.

Pros
Ignition
  • Automatic Payments: You set up a proposal to collect payments once and you don't have to worry about bugging the client for payment every month.
  • Amazing support: I have always received answers from the support team within the same day. They are very patient and understanding.
  • Integrates with Xero: It integrates with our accounting software, making reporting faster.

NiftyQuoter
  • Is easy to create new proposals with templates, themes & modules based approach.
  • It provides us data about what is happening on the client's side. When they reviewed our proposal, how many times, and who they shared it with.
  • Provides good integration with many other apps, which help us save time.

Cons
Ignition
  • The charge back process is messy and not transparent enough. When there is a charge back, PI deducts the amount from other payments settling on the same day, and does not provide a break down of the amounts. This makes it impossible to track without getting help from support.
  • PI should send email alerts monthly (or at some interval determined by user) for expiring engagements.
  • PI should allow the client to make service selections -- we should be able to offer 2 or 3 options under a service offering, and the client chooses and sees the impact on monthly/annual pricing.
  • PI should allow for more than 2 templates (Business and Individual).
  • PI should integrate with Jet Pack Workflow to automate the creation of new jobs once a proposal is approved.

  • I personally wish there was a function to switch from a military time to a regular time like most people would use.
  • I think that it could be more clear to the client as to where they need to go to accept the quote. Often times I will get calls saying they do not see an accept the quote option available.
  • NiftyQuoter has a hard time for some reason remembering your password. It seems most of the time I have to manually type my email and password in and I wish it would just remember that for me.

Usability
Ignition
The Ignition product is quite usable for the average user. The app has preloaded templates that can get even new-hires to navigate the software and set up proposals. The only area where I see the Ignition product lacking is the additional fees smaller firms may have to pay to get the full feature advantages of the product.

This Software is so easy to use we can typically train people on how to use the basics within an hour or two. Some of the more unique features will take longer but all in all, it is super user-friendly and I have heard very little otherwise from our team. I will say for me personally it is a truly great software that makes my work way easier than it would be without it.

Anytime we have had any issues there team is very quick to respond and helo us through any issues that may arise. This is quite unique as much other software that we use if we end up needing assistance we either have to wait days/weeks for an answer or we outright get no answers from them.

You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

We used QuoteRoller and PandaDoc for some time before moving to NiftyQuoter. The difference in results, interface intuitiveness, and time saved was what made NiftyQuoter stick.
