  • Versatile - lots of things are housed in one area.
  • 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.

  • Lead management.
  • Leads to financial conversion that is we can directly see the conversion of leads in to cash flows.
  • Integration with software from other brands should be made easier.
  • Data migration from other CRM is really hectic and can be time consuming or glitchy.

  • It organizes line items so you can select exactly what you need for each account.
  • It provides a "target amount" field so you can enter the total cost that the items in the quote need to amount to.
  • It's difficult to move line items around and organize them.
  • I wish there was a "target customer amount" button for individual groups and that you could edit the individual line items to be a certain amount. In general, and to add up to the "target customer amount."

  • Customer Target Amount setting - Splits out discounts evenly across products within given discounting rules.
  • Calculate button takes the math out of the sales reps' hands, which is a must!
  • Allows for the hiding/displaying of products and tethering of products to prevent reps from selling in-compatible products or from missing required products.
  • Performance - The speed of the system needs improvement. The biggest complaint we get from all reps.
  • It should be easier to manipulate quotes on the QLE.

  • Guided selling for easily on-boarding new reps
  • Bundles that make up-selling and cross-selling a breeze
  • Discounting and approvals that make for easily automated processes
  • AI tool Einstein to get recommendations of the best performing wording and orders
  • Speed is sometimes slow
  • Standard templates for orders are lacking but can be solved with a CLM tool like Conga
  • Complex implementation that requires a partner that knows what they are doing around CPQ and billing (but it's the same for all CPQ tools that we have seen)

  • Discounting Rules are very flexible and robust.
  • Guided Selling configurations are very strong.
  • Integration with Docusign really speeds up the sales process.
  • The quote templates could allow for a little more customization.
  • Would like to see advanced approvals included as part of the package without an extra cost.

  • It is not intuitive in the slightest - very difficult to use

  • 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.
  • Calc and process time are slow, as is the case with many Salesforce native applications. If there are too many line items, you may see APEX errors.
  • The order form process can get very lengthy if you have several line items or need to account for year over year increases in per subscriber cost with separate line items for each year in a multi-year agreement.
  • If there are not multiple people eligible to approve a quote at a certain stage in the approval process, it can take a significant amount of time if that individual is away from their computer / mobile device.
