Both tools have a very common feature set. Sell is different primarily in the fact that it is online software-as-a-service based deployment, rather than a local server based deployment. That gives it a major leg up. I can use Sell from anywhere in the world easily.

We were using D-Tools for proposal creation and that application is far better. The only reason we moved to Sell is that it has leasing capability.

We were using D-Tools and that application is much better. Its actually 10x better. The only reason we move to Sell is because Sell have the leasing capability.

Matchs our CRM (Manage) AX was too expensive and QuoteWerks had no API to manage. We did a Proof of concept, are members of Microsoft's partner program, and were worried about the scalability of this product versus others in the market. Connectwise has made good on their promises to integrate other platforms (Sell, Automate and Control being good examples).

When it comes to the quoting layout Sell gives you so many more customization options. The item inventory is also easier to maintain. Sell is by far the best selling module that I have used thus far and it has helped keep us more organized.

I have not used any other quoting platforms like ConnectWise Sell except for the integrated estimates and invoicing in FreshBooks. These softwares are wildly different, however, since I use FreshBooks as a financial platform for another business I have. I would say in terms of a quoting platform, ConnectWise Sell beats all others I have used.

We have previously used Excel and templates for quoting. We also have used Salesforce to generate quotes. Neither method was as clean as ConnectWise Sell and they were not geared specifically to how we work. We still use Salesforce for our main CRM and ConnectWise Sell integrates well to update opportunities and customer information. ConnectWise Sell also pulls from Salesforce when building a quote to get customer/contact information.
Alternatives Considered
Salesforce is the main competitor but this is easier to keep up with and I highly recommend any businesses to use this just for the convenience factor. Other programs and suites are also more expensive so you know that you are saving money using this service. Highly recommended by everyone that has used it.

We've also had some experience with quotewerks in the past. Quotewerks has some pretty solid functionality for the basic quoting features that we need, but didn't have the tight integration that we wanted.
Alternatives Considered
We prefer having access to it inside our connectwise versus it being a separate program. Quosal took a long time to load or it would glitch. Sell is much quicker to use.

We did not evaluate any other solutions, except to compare it against our current QuickBooks estimate and Word document proposal method.

We used QuoteWerks for 5 years prior to Quosal - the difference is night and day. Quosal provided the scalability needed to grow our business and take on bigger challenges. Simply put, it was like going from using a spreadsheet to a fully-featured quoting tool. Any company that is looking for more out of their quote software should begin the transition to Quosal.

Quosal is backed by the insight and financial investment of ConnectWise, (an industry leader in PSA software) with heavy hooks into the ConnectWise API set. These API hooks make the task of creating proposals simple and easy with just a few clicks to populate things like customer, name, address, sub-sites, etc. Because of ConnectWise's market reach, Quosal now has access to a much broader set of data for shaping and developing their product.

We looked at Salesforce.com as an option but it just wasn't the right fit. It didn't integrate well into our system, and to close the gap was costly. We needed a comprehensive sales tool to handle every aspect of our business. Data needed to systematically flow into all company departments instead of being entered multiple times. We needed to manage the relationship with our client and not the volume of it. It's portal based application meant we could focus on meeting customer sales requirements with reliable and secure access, and not having to manage or maintain it on premise. The deployment of the software was an easy experience guided by knowledgeable consultants who knew our business already without having to learn it along the way. ConnectWise Sell meets all those objectives, and continually is improving.

Quotewerx was previously the product of choice for our company. When CW purchased Quosal, CW ceased providing Integration to Quotewerx which forced our company to migrate to Quosal.
At that particular time, it would have just been better if CW had admitted to us right from the start the integration to QW was being phased out. Instead, we were forced to simply struggle with integrations to CW until we finally just gave up.. Would have been 100% if you had simply stated your true intentions.

Infusionsoft - It is made more for an internet store, and it never answered our needs for effective quoting.
Microsoft Excel - It was nice to create algorithms for speedy quotes but moving around products, or sharing quotes with co-workers was hard. Google Sheets did not come close to the preference we wanted for effective quoting as it is more limited than Excel. It was great for sharing, but lost features Excel did better.
Adobe Acrobat - It was time-consuming to update products, and sometimes it was buggy. But the real problem with customers was not everyone could open the quote. Their computers were not update with such old versions of Adobe we gave up on this as a solution.

This is the first quoting tool we have used that I am aware of.

As I mentioned in my previous responses, this was the only solution that met our requirements across all categories. Many solutions are strong in certain areas, but Quosal provided the most balanced feature set. They also provided an incredible support staff for both the implementation and ongoing support. They honestly made us feel as the most important customer they had.

We decided ultimately that we wanted to remain within the Connectwise Manage/Sell family. It made sense.

I haven't used a competitor in a while, but I am also not interested in looking. Other systems we used export to ugly and confusing Excel sheets. The Quosal system creates professional, customizable quotes and the customers love how easy it is to interact with them.

We used to use Quotewerks. It also had integration with our PSA tool and the integration was pretty good. The fact that quotewerks was not cloud based meant we had to provide it via terminal services to handle all our locations and remote access. It's installer was difficult and updates were hard. Setting up templates in quotewerks was also a big challenge. The electronic signature functionality of Quotewerks is far less effective and doesn't do nearly as good a job with transferring all the information when the quote is won.
