    It is a great solution for small to medium-sized businesses. It is fairly customizable, and their support team has been great to work with us. They have helped us build some custom workflows to push a customer straight to a credit card page once they sign the proposal. This has really helped increase conversions when signing on a new customer.

    Good use cases: - Responding to RFP's especially generic questions that are asked frequently (company size, product info, security posture) - Delegating approvals or questions to appropriate teams where the AI solution is not well positioned to provide a thorough or complete answer - Reviewing previous RFP documents that have been submitted by previous account teams Bad Use Cases: - Struggles compared to other AI tools with contextual deep questions about product functionality - Doesn't seamlessly integrate with tools where our clients submit RFP and require sign ons.

    Cons
    Proposable
    • The user interface is not intuitive and you'll need some time to understand where things are.
    • The structure of the proposals is sort of rigid and is difficult to create really beautiful documents (unless you are a genius designer).

    • Reporting and Analytics is basic, you can purchase advanced analytics though
    • It would have been nice to have a set structure in mind or a example/case study to structure our responses in the most appropriate way, but we are working through that with their stellar support team
    • Really great new features, but expensive

    We'd be sunk without Responsive. The sales motion would slow way down in several places, and that's just unacceptable. AND I love the product. It helps me do my job efficiently. The Responsive team is GREAT. Support is getting better. The Product and Customer Experience Team is so knowledgeable and willing to help with new features and troubleshoot what's going on. It's an all-around great experience. Not to mention starting over - I can't even get my head around that.

    If I cannot solve a problem, then I reach out to Support and they are ON IT. They always solve the problem and get back to me immediately with an answer. Our customer support person who is assigned to us (we have had several) are responsive and helpful. We have asked them to sit in on meetings and help socialize the tool.

    We were able to complete an RFP during our free trial. We were already leaning toward RFPIO but that pushed us over the edge.

    I didn't choose Proposable over DocuSign, but I did use it at a previous company. Proposable is great for the smaller business and makes the creation and sending of agreements so easy! DocuSign was nice, but it was more complex in my experience and created a bottleneck for our sales team to get approval. I'm sure this was more of our own internal process, but between the two, Proposable was much faster to get what you needed in the form of an agreement. Less time freed up more time for selling!

    While others have had a good experience with Qvidian, we unfortunately did not. Our questions were never answered by our Qvidian rep, as we used it the platform had no AI capabilities, and we had very low usage. It didn't serve our needs. Responsive has been incredible in their communication, responses, partnership, and willingness to get our feedback in order to improve the platform

    • Client Confidence: the use of RFP360 has allowed us to deliver a demonstrably robust process to our clients, providing them a very high level of confidence in the quality of our work.
    • Time Efficiency: RFP360's services provide a great deal of time-saving in the management of virtually the entire RFP process.
