Configit Quote vs. IBM Sterling Configure, Price, Quote

Managing sales for products that are configurable.

Were it not for the fact that IBM CPQ lacks mobile and tablet applications, I would have recommended it 100%. However, I still have that 99% recommendation rate since this solution has saved us a lot by allowing us to close more sales within a short period by creating a channel where we collaborate with customers by offering coupons, sending price lists and orders.

Incentivized

• Integration with SAP
• Intuitive Interface
• Focus on Information rather than Transactional Processing

• Firstly, IBM CPQ makes it easy for customers to make rapid products purchases through configuration, pricing and ordering processes.
• Centralizing selling procedure in one platform by communicating products pricing to clients.
• Improving ROI by attracting customers when discounts are introduced on products as well as offering coupons.

• I am not sure since I haven't had a direct involvement with the product for a long time

• Unfortunately, IBM CPQ does not have on-premises applications to use while not connected to the internet. This is no more a challenge since we have a robust WIFI connection in our organization premises.

The product as well as the team that is behind the design and implementation of the solution are second to none

Timely and courteous response time from IBM Support any time there was a request that needed to be made.

Incentivized

There are tons of Configure, Price and Quote software, but I have not used a lot of them. However, unlike IBM CPQ, HubSpot Sales Hub isn’t operated in compliance with any ISO standards and secured in a data center making it easy to leak customer sensitive data such as payment details.
