Cincom CPQ vs. Sofon Proposal Organizer

In my opinion, the most valuable characteristic of SPO is that by answering simple questions a very complex product can be configured; therefore the scope of delivery is defined very well. In addition, SPO has great flexibility to manage prices and costs. However, SPO is configurator of parts that allows incorporating basic design rules for their selection. SPO is not a optimised for developing complicated engineering design rules.

• Sofware works correctly with no crashes
• Sofon's support is quick and efficient
• User-friendly interface
• Easy maintenability
• Wide range of Sofon products allows for expanding the software scope

• Give us an easier way to configure from an admin point of view
• More reporting possibilities

Generally speaking the company is satisfied with SPO; knowledge on how to use SPO and on how to code in the product have been developed, and has led to good results. In addition, customer service provided by Sofon is efficient and quick. Finally, SPO guarantees that product -specific knowledge stays in-house, reducing the risk of 'knowledge leakage to competitors.

The previous product we used was developed by ourselves so my experience is very limited. I can say that having a software like SPO we can configure the product without any programming experience and this makes things faster and better. Moreover, I can say that MS Office compatibility is a strong point.

• Fast lead conversion
• Increased sales representatives effort
