RocketDocs vs. Seismic Content

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

It is excellent for a cloud-based workspace between you and your customers. I find the chat feature to be a cool and underutilized tool. I appreciate how you can consolidate all your information on one page, rather than having multiple attachments. Easy to clone DSRs (Digital Sales Rooms), which saves a significant amount of time. Especially when all you have to do is make minor changes between customers.

• 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

• Seismic allows for one location to store all relevant content so that associates are not having to spend as much time searching for what they need.
• Seismic provides the ability to fully customize content such that one template can serve many needs with the simple ability to answer questions that drive the customization in the content. This customization can range from simple to quite complex depending on your level of expertise with the tool.
• Seismic provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to organizing your content and how to make the experience of accessing that content unique to the needs of each user in the system.

• 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.

• There have been a few times where issues with a server leads to a slow user experience or users are unable to use the platform for a small period of time. Bringing these to a minimum would greatly enhance the user experience.

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.

Seismic is super easy to use and has so many different features and functionality to take advantage of. But being a company who utilizes Google platform a lot we have some issues with the api connections and integrations across the board. But all in all it is not a huge issue, I would just like to see them improve the integration more

I have never tried chatting/calling with Support for Seismic. However, from others that I have talked to that use Seismic in more of an administrative role, they have been easy to work with and are of great assistance. I think it's a good thing I've never needed to talk to support, as it means I haven't had any issues to this point.

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.

Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content the way I wanted to. Highspot tended to feel cluttered and even overwhelming at times. Along with that, the AI and saved search feature ran smoother in Seismic. I could easily find the document or sales deck I was looking for, whereas in Highspot I felt I had to look around longer than I would have liked.

• With PMAPS WebPro, I am able to provide better customer service to other departments because I can quickly access our rich database to respond to their questions.
• PMAPS WebPro helps me complete RFPs quickly because I have most of the answers I need at the touch of a button.

• The bespoke resources we have created and implemented in Seismic have increased our reps efficiency and effectiveness and ultimately increased their confidence with our prospects.
• Better time management as connecting different lines of businesses and/or functions like Marketing with Compliance allows for a smoother workflow and less time consumption.
• Improved workflows as Seismic allows the distribution of resources either internally or externally quickly with links & PDF files directly into email correspondence or Slack messages.
