Unity vs. Verenia CPQ

Unity can cover most of the needs of game development, both for 2D and 3D. It is particularly well suited to games designed to be played presented and played on web pages, but it can create high-end content as well. Perhaps it would be less suited in high-end games which depend to much of sophisticated lighting effects since Cryengine and Unreal are more evolved in this area. On the other extreme, in the case of very simple 2D games for web pages, like newsgames, simpler game engines probably would be more advisable for a faster production, like Construct (2 or 3) or even Twine (in case of text adventures)

I recommend this software to all companies that make their own products, as it helps them with all the sales management, from product creation, details, and features, to sales with customers, invoicing, and budgeting. It has worked very well for us and we have had no major problems.

• Great and simple interface.
• Good pricing model for independent developers.
• Powerful and flexible tool for making video games.
• Great library of assets to save time in the asset store.

• Thanks to the pricing rules tool, we can determine the final price of the products, for different customers, depending on the location of the customer, the type of product, the number of products, and other rules that can be easily configured.
• I like that the software allows user access by roles, so that team members can have access only to parts of the program, according to their department, and make changes to products, design, prices, costs, sales, etc., according to their tasks within the project.
• I love that from the same software all departments can work, from design, making drawings of products in 2d and 3d, finance with invoice management and even marketing and sales, with a guide of questions and recommendations provided by the software to improve sales.

• Integration of disparate technologies required to build an application.
• Streamline the versioning process using the hub, it's great so far.
• Keep improving the ML learning models for AI.

• To have better accuracy using Verenia CPQ requires more clicks than necessary, as we have not been able to fully automate all tasks for our end user when quoting each product individually.
• Sometimes the API integration and synchronization fails and that generates errors in invoices and problems to catalog certain materials.
• Verenia CPQ does not allow editing existing configurations, if we want to give our own signature we must create new configurations from clean templates.

It's actually incredibly easy to use given the complex tasks you have. Once you learn the various windows it becomes second nature. Compared to something like Blender (which I would probably rate as a 2 on usability), the learning curve of Unity is a breeze! The only improvements I can think of would be to streamline some common workflows so you don't have to dig through menus to find them.

I have not had to use Unity's support extensively. This is likely because there is so much documentation and so many classes available for free online. Due to this, there is little need for support. They were very responsive when I requested educational licensing. Setting it up and providing it all quickly.

Unreal Engine is a fantastic piece of software but it has a much steeper learning curve and an arcane, idiosyncratic way of developing software that is quite foreign. Unity uses some similar concepts to Adobe Flex, which we've always found easy and sensible. It is also easier to go to Unity having either a Java or C# background. We also explored using Android Studio and Xcode on their own for AR experiences and that is a suitable option depending on the use case, but Unity is still a great tool for rapid prototyping and even for building finished, shipped apps.

• Verenia CPQ has expanded us in the current business making our profits surpass records from several years ago.
• All of our employees feel secure and confident because of all the tools that Verenia CPQ has given us over the years.
