Mitratech HotDocs vs. Qwilr

It is well suited in the organisations which deals with lots of paper work like legal, teaching, research, etc as they need similar kind of documents again and again. In a typical office set up it is of great use by human resource, marketing and legal department. Hot docs is not suitable if you have a proprietary or solo business as it do not caters to them.

It is great for presentations to customers and keeping them engaged in your presentation. Although it is great for creating a highly customizable presentation, some users may want even more control over font, font size and font color. Some of my colleagues have expressed some dissatisfaction with the formatting as well as saving any formatting changes that have made.

• Personalized training. We were able to get an expert on a video call who walked us through solutions to each of our unique problems (i.e. all fifty states have different notary blocks, how can we auto-populate it when the state of the deal is selected?).
• Team access. Multiple people can work with the templates at once, thus allowing the members of our team who deal with financials to work on their documents while others focus on the organizational and legal documents.
• Once you have successfully drafted your templates, it runs incredibly smooth (barring any minor hiccups that happen with software updates) and efficiently.

• Most HotDocs templates demand high-level code. This includes complicated Word codes
• Using HotDocs is incredibly user-friendly. Creating and maintaining templates is a programming task

• Quick support
• Wish it was easier to turn the links on and off.
• Some of their custom block styles could be easier to edit.

Great product with great service.

If I cannot get tech support (especially at the supervisory level) during my work hours, then what good is their program?

At the beginning, there is a slight learning curve, but once you get the way out of it, it becomes easy to use.

The support is fine, but make no mistake it is PAID support because you have to purchase it each year in order to keep the updates.

Onboarding was very organized and simple. Our account manager made it easy for our team to learn the tool by organizing several group training sessions.

If you use WordPerfect X9 - choose"no word-processing software."

I haven't evaluated other products. We are so used to HotDocs that it would be difficult for us to switch to something else. We continue to use HotDocs because switching cost is high once you have already started. Be careful before beginning to use this program, as it is hard to breakaway.

Qwilr was a really quick and easy setup, which I think is great for smaller teams that have simple sales processes and cycles. Once more complication is it will fall short in providing the level of control and detail that is needed for a larger sales team. The end product is very elegant but comes down to the needs of the organization.

• Positive - Quicker turn around on producing standard documents tailored to the client's specific needs.
• Negative - Long learning curve. Not an "out of the box" program. It has to be customized.

Incentivized

• Increased efficiency when using Qwilr's library content to create proposals.
• Can save existing building blocks to use toward future proposals.
• Can keep track of analytics on who is viewing the documents sent.
