Overall Satisfaction with Apttus Configure Price Quote

We recently signed a contract with Apttus to leverage their Contract Lifecycle Management application to better automate the way we generate, approve, deliver and track our contracts within our Salesforce.com environment. The Apttus team got to know our business and understand our challenges and became a trusted partner to our business. Their solution will help us eliminate many of the manual steps required to process our contracts; reduce the number of manual quality checks; enable us to better search and track contracts by specific terms and ultimately increase the speed at which we are able to push our contracts through our process.
  • Understand business challenges.
  • Provide a full suite of solutions for a wide range of business challenges.
  • Provide executive sponsorship to eliminate obstacles to success.
  • Ease of Implementation.
  • Improved process speed.
  • Increased contract quality.
  • Ability to search contracts by term or clause.
  • Template Generators
Apttus is a much more comprehensive solution that any other partner we reviewed.
Apttus is best suited for a company with enough volume of quotes and contracts to merit an enterprise-scaled solution.

Evaluating Apttus and Competitors

  • Prior Experience with the Product
  • Vendor Reputation
  • Existing Relationship with the Vendor
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
I have used Apttus at two previous companies and always had a positive experience with strong business outcomes.
I'd interview more reference customers about the implementation experience as it was difficult at first, but eventually resolved itself smoothly with satisfactory results.
