    Chose Proposify
    It was highly recommended by an associate and we have been on the receiving end of Proposify proposals and impressed by it. I don't recall if we looked at others but if we did they paled in comparison. There was no question as to using Proposify. It met all the needs, was easy …

    Chose Proposify
    Proposify stacks up well against its competitors. We tested all of these platforms. We found Proposify to be amongst the leaders in the look and feel of the software as well as the quality of the documents.

    Where Proposify lacked in comparison to Conga and PandaDoc was in …

    Chose Proposify
    Previously, our team had used Word documents to generate our proposals, which was not only clunky, but didn't offer any sort of tracking. It was cumbersome to have to keep track of multiple copies when there were updates, and there wasn't a streamlined way in order to request …

    We looked for a solution after we spent countless hours and years maintaining a MS Word Template system. Proposify takes many features and streamlines them, mak[ing] them interactive and clean. It's nice to digitally deliver a proposal that a customer can view online- it ads a …

    I think that Proposify wins when proposals are cut and dry and their is simply need for selection of items and signature. I also believe that it is better than Acrobat because you can get out of email and file sharing.

    Where it struggles is with reviewing, commenting and …

    We prefer the user interface and design more compared to Bidsketch. Probably the best advantage of Proposify is the detailed reporting and notifications of the actions by the recipients - we have a detailed breakdown of who has viewed our proposals, how many time it has been …

    Better Proposals and Nusii have also been used by us. Both have pros and cons, but ultimately Proposify had the best balance of features and cost for our business.

    Tried to use tools like Word, Google Docs, etc. but did not work. FreshBooks allows for estimates (as does Quick Books) but not proposals.

    Qwilr was interesting, but wasn't my favorite. It was cool in the fact that the proposals looked beautiful and interactive. But it was a bit much for my clients to figure out how to use. Kind of overwhelming for them. I really didn't like PandaDoc's functionality and UX when I …

    Proposify allows me to save templates and template sections, which for me is the biggest difference. Although Adobe pdf is nice it lacked in many features that I didn't even realize were out there and that now save me so much time. Another thing I love with Proposify compared …

    Proposify was the only proposal solution we looked at and we have no regrets in selecting it.

    Unless they totally change the interface we'll never look elsewhere.

    It really was the only software that worked with what we were looking for. We wanted a document that could be updated and edit in real time and there were not any other document softwares out there that could do that for us. It just needs to fix some of its glitches.

    proposify has a better competition editor and better template library. I found it to be more intuitive and easier.

    It is costly to properly set up Proposify and retain its use ongoing. If you have a plan to implement your proposals you can get some good cost-saving use from it. I cannot stress enough to have your assets, graphics, and snippets ready before you start. I also recommend that you fully understand templates and asset library or you will quickly be overwriting templates and themes with client-specific verbiage.

    Pros
    Proposify
    • TEMPLATES: The ability to work from customizable yet standardized templates allow for a consistent end-user experience for our clients, and elevates the perceived professionalism of our sales team.
    • ANALYTICS: Unlike merely sending estimates or proposals via email, the tracking analytics available within Proposify's dashboard not only enables our project managers to more strategically engage with clients, but also gives our upper management an objective way to track the effectiveness of our sales team.
    • EASE-OF-USE: Overall, Proposify's platform is easy to use and the UX is intuitive enough that the learning curve to use it is minimal.

    Cons
    Proposify
    • Export into Word would be useful
    • SFDC integration sometimes doesn’t seem to search/find contacts/opps perfectly
    • Some of controls (editing proposals and templates) could be more clear/intuitive
    • Difficult for businesses where redlined contracts/proposals may find this software does not support client/vendor collaboration

    Usability
    Proposify
    Overall it's great. There's definitely a learning curve, and I wish that some things were easier to use. For example, changing images isn't the easiest thing to do in it, but I'd love to be able to quickly add and change header images in my proposals. So far I've figured it out, but each time I do it I forget how it's done since it's not intuitive.

    Support Rating
    Proposify
    I've actually never used Proposify support, so I'm unable to speak about it. I suppose that's a good thing. If I did need to use it, I would hope that they'd be responsive and intelligent, but, again, since everything has worked smoothly I don't really know how the support functions or how good it is.

    Return on Investment
    Proposify
    • The detailed proposal has saved me time explaining a game plan to potential clients.
    • They have customizable tables where the client can choose how many of a certain item they desire. For instance, if they want to buy graphics from you, they can choose how many. This allows for increasing profits by putting the choice in the customer's hand.
    • When you send a contract you are alerted when a customer views the proposal. This has saved me time and money trying to go back and forth with my customers.
