Loopio vs. RocketDocs

I use Loopio specifically for RFP's mostly. I think it is a great and adequate tool for this and much of what I think that needs to improve are not large needle movers for me since the software as a whole is fantastic. It is very easy to upload an RFP into Loopio and begin answering those questions or pulling from previously answered questions. I also will use Loopio for large client proposals and I often use the "search functionality within Loopio to see if I can find answers to clients questions. I like that I can also pull images from Loopio as well and often use those visualizations in my proposals.

I think PMAPS is well suited for Sales and Marketing team members. Having a database that houses all your approved content is a great way to ensure that your messaging is consistent in all your published materials, and a great repository of information. In the RFP world, time is limited, deadlines always approach faster than you want them to, and you are typically working more than one RFP response or project at a time. Being able to access one system for all your content needs is a huge time-saver

• Ease of use - a few minutes' tutorial is enough for a newcomer to start using the tool.
• Handy options - i.e. support in searching for the right answer
• Often meaningful & useful releases

• Having used two competing proposal management systems, I can honestly say that PMAPS wins hands down. We have streamlined the management of content so that we are always providing the most current, accurate responses to every RFP question our clients and prospects send to us.
• Adding new content to PMAPS is a breeze! With a minimum of clicks, you can upload new responses directly into the database so that your proposal team members are continually reinventing the same responses.
• With a continually growing proposal team, the ease with which new users can quickly learn how to use PMAPS is a huge plus. I don't have to devote tons of time training new users. It's a very intuitive interface.
• No matter the format of the proposal (Word, Excel, web submission), PMAPS works with me to make responding *almost* enjoyable

• Having the ability to directly connect responses in multiple languages.
• Ability to set up more people in the review cycle (we typically have a responder, and at least 2 reviewers).

• Beyond some of the basic functionality of enhancement suggestions, the number one recommendation I can provide to PSI is for them to internalize subject matter experts who know RFPs, the specifics/current state of proposal development, and most importantly partner with their clients to truly understand the need that's out their. Often, we get the sense that the focus during our interactions with the vendor is for purposes to up-sell or advertise enahncements for purchase rather than listening to a clients concerns and/or needs.

It does what we need it to do; the price is right; and I like working with the people at PMAPS. They are very friendly and quick to respond to/fix any issues I have.

Usability is good but falls short of excellent. The interface is clean and well organized. They clearly spent some time working on the UI and took some feedback from focus groups to help keep it tidy. On a few occasions, we have experienced a little bit of lag while updating the question database. I'd like to see just a little faster response time on a consistent basis.

They're very supportive and reply in a timely manner. Whenever I contacted the support I received a helpful reply that actually solved my issue. Quite often when my team suggested an improvement that would simplify and speed up our work it happened not long after which is perfect for us.

• User friendly--very simple
• Reviews of libraries can be assigned
• Non-named user licenses can be used by various people
• Close Loop--changes can be added to library with just a few clicks
• View text in library and can copy content
• Reporting on reviews and usage and projects
• Help center and assigned representative
• Library duplicates functionality

Qvidian - in my opinion had less functionality than PMAPS; no way to track use. RFP Express - more difficult to maintain content; less filtering capability; formatting difficult/inconsistent when inserting into RFP.

• It has helped us keep data up to date and therefore provide better answers.
• The amount of time it takes us to compile RFPs has decreased tremendously giving everyone more time to focus on their main roles.
