    I use Loopio specifically for RFP's mostly. I think it is a great and adequate tool for this and much of what I think that needs to improve are not large needle movers for me since the software as a whole is fantastic. It is very easy to upload an RFP into Loopio and begin answering those questions or pulling from previously answered questions. I also will use Loopio for large client proposals and I often use the "search functionality within Loopio to see if I can find answers to clients questions. I like that I can also pull images from Loopio as well and often use those visualizations in my proposals.

    As a small business, the polished, professional look of every PandaDoc document never fails to impress our clients. It's seamless and easy to collect e-signatures, a huge plus, as many e-signature software services provide only that feature for a cost, without the other features PandaDoc has. I am disappointed that the pricing tiers recently changed, so now you get less value for the price. PandaDoc has been great for sending proposals to our clients which include the terms of agreement and the price we quote them, with space at the end for them to sign upon approval. This signals to us that they've accepted and we proceed by sending them an invoice (through another software). Ideally, PandaDoc would automatically follow up or simultaneously send an invoice as well - but this is a Business Plan feature now. But love that we can track when prospects open our documents. We used to pay $35/month for the Essentials Plan, which no longer exists and has become the Starter Plan, which no longer includes unlimited templates or pricing tables - those are Business Plan features. So that downgrade in value was disappointing as it's not a cheap service for a small business, and I'm considering moving to their free plan.

    • Allows clients to remotely execute documents.
    • Tracks the progress of document execution.
    • Emails clients to remind them to sign documents so we don't have to follow up.
    • Emails us when documents have been fully executed.
    • Provides an easy-to use interface to place signatures, dates, and other information on our forms.

    Cons
    Loopio Inc.
    • Adding new answers to the library was easier and better with the "close the loop" functionality. Now, it seems like it is easier to miss questions to add to the library.

    • The automatic snapping of added fields in templates could be toggleable to more easily place fields where they need to be
    • When fields are duplicated, the generated Field IDs can get long (e.g. Text_1, Text_1_1, Text_1_1_1, etc)
    • Loading screens are sometimes long

    The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new

    Usability
    Loopio Inc.
    Usability is good but falls short of excellent. The interface is clean and well organized. They clearly spent some time working on the UI and took some feedback from focus groups to help keep it tidy. On a few occasions, we have experienced a little bit of lag while updating the question database. I'd like to see just a little faster response time on a consistent basis.

    Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

    The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.

    Loopio Inc.
    They're very supportive and reply in a timely manner. Whenever I contacted the support I received a helpful reply that actually solved my issue. Quite often when my team suggested an improvement that would simplify and speed up our work it happened not long after which is perfect for us.

    Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

    We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our team an immense amount of time.

    Return on Investment
    Loopio Inc.
    • I have saved hundreds of hours working in Loopio instead of answering RFP's on my own. This has allowed me to spend other hours elsewhere. Having an RFP management tool has been an incredible timesaver
    • The creation and management of questions has also saved me hours of time in searching out tough questions to answer and has also saved my colleagues time as well since we don't need to collaborate to find answers.
    • Have had some issues with downloading the proposal in a readable format for clients to view. I've sometimes had to go back and figure out what went wrong when exporting which can be frustrating- especially when dealing with very tight deadlines.

    • Our business has received a positive impact by saving time on creating, editing, and sending documents/quotes to clients.
    • We also have had greater employee efficiency due to a faster and more seamless proposal and document management process.
    • We have received a higher close rate as well considering the user is able to e-sign the document, pay, and complete the quote seamlessly.
