NiftyQuoter vs. XaitPorter

NiftyQuoter is so simple to use that when we have a new employee it is not difficult to train them ow to creat quotes. I also think that most customers appreciate the ease of navigating in NiftyQuoter. If you are pumping out between 25-50 quotes per week it is super easy to track them all as well.

XaitPorter is ideal when a large document, containing many (preferably independent) sections is being created by more than five writers across different office locations and is subject to review by multiple reviewers and requires formal approval. It is particularly suited for external documents which are to be delivered as a non-editable PDF file.

• Creating of quotes is super easy and very user friendly.
• Having all of our teams able to view and edit the quote as needed.
• Being able to track when a client has viewed or downloaded the quote is an essential part of our business and NiftyQuoter does and excellent job of this.

Incentivized

• Enables several writers to write in the same document at the same time, which means that it is always possible to get the latest version printed and see the current state.
• Because we are limited in the template to a few styles we don't use a lot of time after completion checking up on which style the writers has been using. This saves us a lot of editing.
• Before we got XaitPorter the drawing team didn't get the figures to quality control until the final stages of the process, but now the figures are received as soon as the writer uploads them. This also saves a lot of overtime, because the drawing team is involved earlier on.

Incentivized

• Designing new templates is somehow difficult.
• The user interface could be more intuitive and visually appealing.
• Lacks a way to organize (grouping for example) sent proposals.

Incentivized

• The dashboard is complex and not easily understood. Since we only worked on a few documents at a time, we went straight into the document and never spent time on the dashboard.
• Being cloud based, the time taken to move from one section of the document to another becomes painful.
• The word import function could be improved.
• There are some functionalities in Word that are not available in XaitPorter. For example you can insert pictures within a table in Word but you cant do that in XaitPorter.

It's very basic. More features would be better.

This Software is so easy to use we can typically train people on how to use the basics within an hour or two. Some of the more unique features will take longer but all in all, it is super user-friendly and I have heard very little otherwise from our team. I will say for me personally it is a truly great software that makes my work way easier than it would be without it.

Incentivized

We find it to be intuitive to use with a simple menu and right-click based functionality in place.

XaitPorter is always there even though we have issues with outages (suddenly the network does not work, but that is internal issue)

Incentivized

Our reports/Tenders complete in a reasonable time frame, actually faster than Word. We have not integrated with other systems or softwares.

Incentivized

Anytime we have had any issues there team is very quick to respond and helo us through any issues that may arise. This is quite unique as much other software that we use if we end up needing assistance we either have to wait days/weeks for an answer or we outright get no answers from them.

Incentivized

They have a clear method for reporting any issues and work hard to get a resolution, keeping me informed of progress.

He was really good. He came from Xait and trained us for several days. He got all involved and answered the questions asked. He was a professional trainee

Incentivized

The online training was really good. They know the way of getting people involved and they answered all questions asked. They were there for us.

Incentivized

I was really satisfied with the implementation

Incentivized

NiftyQuoter (as I said above) is vastly superior in creating, tracking, and ease of approving quotes.

Incentivized

We looked at every major product and some newer ones. We liked Xait's general robustness and handling of images (despite the issue about the internal library), as well as the output quality in PDF. Also, we're a Mac shop so we could not be chained to a Windows editor.

I just love the system

Incentivized

• Our proposals approval ratio increased by 30% since we started using NiftyQuoter.
• It is slightly more time-consuming than I would have expected.

Incentivized

• We have seen reduced overtime costs for tender support staff who used to spend a lot of time managing and dealing with version control issues, formatting issues, layout issues and printing issues
• We have experienced that Porter has allowed us to handle more work without increasing our staffing.
• The quality of our submissions has improved both by the switch to Porter, and further by the increased proficiency of both our administrators and writers.
