Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Steelbrick is being used directly by our sales team and our finance and executive teams are receiving information out of it. We have a very complicated setup in terms of products and pricing. All of my company's contracts have just slightly different terms (i.e. product 3 is 25% of the sum of products 2 and 3 for client one but 30% for client two but 20% with a $5000 minimum for client 3). With some creative problem solving assistance from our implementation team, we were able to make it so that our Sales team only sees the products associated with each client and gets all of the product calculations to function appropriately. What this means is that we have reduced the opportunity for error to virtually zero while also drastically reducing the amount of time sales has to wait for answers about pricing and the amount of time it takes to actually build/calculation costs.

  • Product bundling and pricing flexibility.
  • End user UI.
  • Document generation.
  • Templates can be difficult to build without HTML knowledge.
  • Some features, like Solution Groups, aren't built out yet or there is confusion about how it should be applied.
  • Multi-dimensional quoting needs to be much more robust.
If you have products where the costs are calculated, be as specific as possible. You may have to build custom fields on the product object to drive those calculations.
  • MUCH faster time to build a quote with accurate pricing.
  • Approvals are actually able to be sent and are being completed.
  • Our Implementation teams know the exact product that was sold and what they are expected to bring up.
  • apptus
In comparing the two, Steelbrick seemed more lightweight than Apptus, but more importantly, the Steelbrick team was MUCH nicer, easier to get in touch with and responded in a timely manner.

Sales are the primary users, but Finance, Executives, Professional Services and Implementations all receive information out of this product.

  • Quote generation
  • Quote approvals
  • Sales to existing clients
  • We have been able to limit customer products to just those that they are contracted for or that that are eligible for, making sales a lot easier.
  • Customizing templates is remarkable easy.
  • We are looking into making it possible for a user to request licenses from our webpage or community and for that to automatically create an opportunity and a quote.
The company is very easy to work with and is growing by leaps and bounds. We do not anticipate switching vendors anytime in the near future
Yes
It replaced user generated quotes done in Word or Excel.

Ease in working with the sales and implementation team played a large part in our adoption
Honestly, I dont think we would.
No
Everything that has been brought up with them has been addressed. We even received an answer where they basically said, "We've escalated to our CTO to find out how this should be working, since no one agrees if it's a problem or not." That's great service in my book.
Yes
not resolved yet, but being addressed.
Sent in an issue about the way an object was working and received an answer back basically saying that they were not sure if my problem was an actual issue or if it was working as designed. Instead of defaulting to "not an issue", they told me that they escalated to our CTO to get a definite answer. Love that they went the extra mile.
  • Adding products, quantities and discounts is great.
  • Generating a document is just a matter of a few clicks.
  • Separating products into how they are priced/billed is a little cumbersome, even with some automation. For instance, we have products that are billed during the whole contract term (3 years), during the first year, and during the 2nd and 3rd years of the contract. To make pricing work out, we have had to get creative.
After the initial set up, end users who are not the most tech savy are generally finding it easy to navigate.

We are a global company that was looking for a universal solution for our quoting process. Steelbrick is currently implemented and being used globally in our customer quoting process. The Salesforce quoting application left a lot of gaps in supporting our process, and SteelBrick was able to fill those gaps and give us a more user friendly and intuitive solution.
  • SteelBrick offers additional functionality with a small learning curve due to the applications development within the Salesforce platform
  • The ability to update information and changes back to the local ERP is amazing.
  • Streamlining the configuration process makes changes and updates seemless.
  • My catalog size and manufacturing requirements do not always fit the Steelbrick platform.
Not all quoting habits will fit this system, be sure you fully understand yours and the requirements. The 80/20 rule applies for me in this case. The application covers 80 percent of my needs - still trying to figure out that other 20.
  • User adoption in quoting is higher than before.
  • Removed several steps in our current quote process which led to more efficent employees.
I do not have a comparison - SteelBrick came highly recommended for my situation. Met with them on several occassions and they fit the need.
They are always ready and willing to help and make the process as seemless as possible. They have great follow up and keep open lines of communication to make sure your satisfied and current on what is happening.
No
  • The integration and communication between systems
  • The user interface is familiar so adoption is higher
  • We have unique item lines that we have not been able to put in SteelBrick - Or any other solutions.
Yes, but I don't use it
SteelBrick has been able to cover 80% of our needs and we have overall happy with the results.
