What do you like best about ConnectWise CPQ?

Very easy to use once it is set up correctly. Once set up, it integrates directly into our professional services automation tool and allows us to manage the quote from initial contact through ordering, and delivery. It also connects directly to the distributors we use to allow us to order directly after the quote is approved. That cuts out a middle step of having to log in to each distributor and place orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise CPQ?

Set up can be difficult and customizing quotes and the only quote delivery site does require some knowledge of HTML to design and implement any changes other than what comes as the default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise CPQ:

Make sure to fully review the product and test out templates, quoting, orderporter. Complete all the training and implementation, do not attempt to self implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise CPQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

CW Sell has given us an easy to use platform to send out electronic quotes to our clients. It reduces that amount of work our sales engineers need to do the get quotes built, approved internally, and sent out to our clients. It helps us to make sure that our quotes always have accurate pricing associated with them. It has also streamlined our quoting process and let us deliver on approved quotes faster resulting it faster turnaround for payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
