Salesforce CPQ
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
This software is so complex we can say that Salesforce works so much better in the interface. Also, the features provided by Salesforce are far better than this software. It also includes Storing data, API development, and so many other functionalities which help a developer …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
This has better product capabilities like Manage Order, Mobile, pricing module, select product offers service channel. What I like best is the integration with Salesforce, the ability to create and connect opportunities and there is a lot of flexibility in this tool. It has a …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
There is no comparison to a fully functional instance of CPQ. Nothing comes close due to the amount of customization and ease of use that CPQ offers once it's fully built out. Other solutions may be easier to build or administer, but for the users and business needs, CPQ is the …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
It is complementary to salesforce so I don´t think there is a necessity to compare between Groove and Salesforce Revenue Cloud.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
SalesForce Revenue Cloud has been leaps and bounds ahead of the softwares I used to use! I had used Google Sheets at first (since it was free), then bought Excel briefly thinking that would suffice as a good CRM layout. Turns out I was wrong and needed something more. Revenue …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
This program is just more advanced and customizable. It worked for our diverse team needs considering the size and complexity of our portfolio. This was just the right choice for us. The other CRM's were great for smaller-scale enterprises at the time that I used them.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
This is an efficient tool and user-friendly.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Salesforce CPQ [(formerly SteelBrick)] seamlessly integrates with Salesforce allowing us to have less integrations to manage. Releases don't break a connection causing delays in the sales process.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Salesforce CPQ was faster in performance and suited our needs.
Its direct integration on the SFDC platform made it easier to implement.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
We felt Salesforce had less risk with integrations to our CRM - also Big Machines couldn't handle our complexity.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
I don't know any competitor for Salesforce CPQ .
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Salesforce stacks well in terms of features like lead, quote and pricing management than other software like Zoho, bichon, agile or HubSpot, personally I believe if the entire set of tools and solutions provided by Salesforce are employed they would work like a well-oiled …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
I haven't used PandaDoc, but a friend of mine uses it at their organization and recommended it.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
It seemed really complicated comparably and didn’t seem to have the integration abilities that Salesforce CPQ has with Salesforce.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Salesforces CPQ compares very highly to Apparound CPQ, because of the integration with the Salesforce platform. Because of the integration with the regular Salesforce platform, the tools work interchangeably with one another. This process creates a great deal of efficiency, and …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
CPQ is a more inline, integrated and user-friendly product compared to Apttus's offering. The fact that it was bought and embedded by Salesforce into the platform and the support that entails, was the big differentiator for us.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Salesforce CPQ is much better in user interaction, automation, AI, and integration with CRM, and other business systems.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
It is a strong offering if your a Salesforce customer. We previously used Panda Doc and the integration with Saleforce was just not robust enough as we've expanded. Panda Doc allowed for much more customization and control of templates. However, the pricing rules, …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
It was not my choice to move to Salesforce CPQ. Our organization chose to move to this platform because Octiv gave the reps too much flexibility. They wanted to tighten the reins. Everyone hates Salesforce CPQ and the guy who implemented it isn't even at the company anymore.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
We looked into using BigMachines and FPX but decided to implement Apttus many years ago. The Apttus implementation never went live after several hiccups along the way and we shifted our focus to Salesforce CPQ which has had it's moments as well. Overall, Salesforce CPQ is the …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
More enterprise related and trustworthy. There is a greater brand association - Salesforce for me.
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Almost a no brainer as we already heavily use SalesForce. This process allowed for everything to be in one place. As stated before, it is better than our old solution because it pulls a lot of the info from the option for you, allows for you to cross-function with services …
Chose Salesforce Revenue Cloud
CPQ is much more intuitive and user-friendly than JDE. JDE is clunky and was not native to the Oracle CRM tool, which created problems when it came to quote creation and consistency in how deals are moved through the pipeline. We chose CPQ because we were already using SFDC as …

What I like best is the ease of use to be able to track all opportunities and quotes in my daily sales tracker I also like the fact that you can reorganize the view for your opportunities. For instance, it is very similar to a spreadsheet where you can filter them by date, dollar amount, name, and several other ways. I found this to be less appropriate when we have to do multiple roles while assigning one task to multiple users. Column resizing within the Quote Line Editor is not supported in the Salesforce mobile app.

Pros
Salesforce
  • Salesforce CPQ easily maps to standard and custom fields within the opportunity in SFDC, allowing you to avoid time spent duplicating effort or copying and pasting deal criteria.
  • Salesforce CPQ connects directly to pre-determined price book, making it very easy to provide a proposal based on standard cost and/or add discounts to standard cost and reflect those reductions on the order form as appropriate.
  • Salesforce CPQ provides the ability for administrators to configure workflows for approval based on certain discount %'s on the standard cost, offering a quick and easy way to route automatically through the organization for approval.

Cons
Salesforce
  • Our Salesforce is very messy, which tells me it's not super easy to clean up.
  • I always have a really hard time removing a contacts from an account - it seems like you can't simply remove the relationship so we have lots of people named DO NOT CONTACT or things of that nature.
  • Sometimes when saving it doesn't seem like things actually save.

There have been some issues with multi-year pricing of certain products and services which we have been assured will be resolved but I guess are still underway, the support team apart from this has not been needed much and in the rare scenarios, it has been needed the resolutions of conflicts has been prompt and quick, so the overall support would have my high regards for being so helpful and customer-oriented so as to assure good performance of their toolset and customer satisfaction.

Return on Investment
Salesforce
  • Salesforce CPQ has helped a lot with overall visibility to the quote to order process. Reps have more insight into the business and the business has more insight into Sales Rep interactions. This makes troubleshooting issues much easier.
  • Our reporting capabilities have improved immensely. The ability to easily create fields allows you to capture new data points very easily.
  • Communication in Salesforce CPQ and Salesforce, in general, is a big improvement for our business. The ability to have a chatter feed on any object is very helpful. This can also be used for feed tracking to give some basic change management controls/history.
