What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

KBMax has one of the most robust documentation wikis to help with anything within the system, and the support team is super smart if you ever get stuck and need to submit a ticket. The development workflow and version control processing is built-in and very easy to use. Beyond the visualization capabilities, KBMax has excellent integrations with Salesforce, AutoCAD and Solidworks for lots of different output workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

The underlying code for customization and configuration uses a SNAP rules engine developed by Google and is easy to use once you get familiar with it, but I find there's a bit of a learning curve to adjust to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

Ensure you have a clear understanding of your full workflow requirements and documentation of your product rules it will help the KBMax team guide you through the implementation process more effectively. You will need someone designated as the technical administrator in order to get trained by KBMax so you can maintain and upgrade on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are making it easier for our customers to configure several of our most customized products in a virtual and self-service way. We are getting more exposure to these products and it's helping improve the design and solution process with architects and designers. It serves as a nice training and custom drawing resource for our internal staff as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

I really like having the multiple development environments and the simple promotion through environments, this aligns with our overall technical approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

The Pricing structure is a bit convoluted and the professional services rate are a bit high for our liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

While the pricing structure isn't quite aligned best for our usecase, and the professional services a bit expensive, in my opinion you get what you pay for. The service has been great, they have a very talented services team, and most importantly maybe is they've been amazing to work with. Our rep really worked with us on being flexible as we kicked off the project just before COVID-19 hit. They also have a robust API capability which is key for us as integration is key. They hit the right mark between being a fully customized from the ground up solution, and an Off the shelf platform. We get the best of both worlds with KBMAX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have some very complex made to order products that need to be managed across multiple channels. KBMAX is helping us streamline the configuration across all of these channels, as well as some internal order entry capabilities. We also often need to spin up new customization project quickly, and having one platform for all product configurations makes things much more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Stevens of Epicor CPQ

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. It's great to hear that your sales team can now focus more on what they do best, sell!

We look forward to more successes with you and your team!

The ability to modify the configurator without relying heavily on outside support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a learning curve. The documentation doesn't match the capabilities of the platform. I wish there was more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a simple product with numerous and sometimes complex and unlimited option catalog. KbMax allows us to handle 95% of the custom requests without needing to use outside drawing programs to meet the customer's needs. And if there is a recurring custom option we are able to add it on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

Excellent CPQ that improves the experience widely in terms of e-commerce. Excellent 3D graphics and CAD modeling that makes the experience unique and complete CPQ integration with salesforce is one of KBmax's strengths and it can have a wide range of configurations that enhance the user's shopping experience. Time savings in terms of engineering services are reduced thanks to this excellent structure tool. As part of the technical team it is really rewarding to be cloud based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

It is complicated to install on Linux servers and I hope to improve the experience regarding this operating system. Editing complex assemblies can be a bit complicated with the features offered by perhaps migrating to other programs such as those offered by AutoDesk will result in better solutions. Training guides are scarce and it would be interesting to have a guide when using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

Recommended for all those companies that have commercial requirements to overcome on a daily basis. Kbmax offers an excellent CPQ solution and its 3D models as well as its integration and import with other software such as Salesforce, Inventor or Sketchup make it a versatile program that can be executed in many functions to improve the process of automated technical and business trade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is used by the business and technology team to create business processes and products suited to the users' needs. It is quite efficient to integrate with other systems, especially the CPQoffered by Salesforce, which improves the user experience and allows us to overcome wide barriers in our field. We prepare graphics with your CAD models and we usually import them into other programs such as Sketchup and Inventor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

KBMax provides a toolset that we can easily program configurators for any of our products and create documentation in any format that we desire for all departments within our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

Sometimes bugs come up that are specific only to our company, so it's hard to get prioritization on our niche issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

The key to KBMax is to make sure you have rules and standards set for any aspect of the company that you are integrating into KBMax. That's the biggest delay and obstacle in implementation. There are a lot of company decisions to be made during implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're adding the ability to scale our company and increase accuracy of information. The improves quality, speeds up workflow, and lowers our lead times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

What I like best about KBMax is how the 3D product is displayed. With some tweaking the product does look very realistic. Also, the snap code is easy to use. You don't have to be a developer to understand how the snap code tool works. The training tools provided are helpful and often updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

We do struggle with a few items. Apparently creating a model of a hat is difficult. Different fabric types have different attributes. Being able to capture the shading of a distressed fabric or a product that isn't structured has proved to be a challenge.

I would also say 'scenes' section of the tool is a bit more complicated and requires some studying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

You will want to have a programmer and a database person on your team. If you have a good amount of new or discontinued products modeling can take some time and be cumbersome. The engineer assigned to our project was very knowledgeable and always willing to help. It was very obvious that the trainer (i believe his name is Kurt) loves his job. He genuinely wants people to understand and benefit from using KBMax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We want to give our customers the ability to view the product three dimensional. Our hope is this will reduce the amount of physical samples being produced. Many of out customers want to create a customized product. This tool allows for that. We are also looking forward to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

It allows non-developers the ability to create a configurator product. The snap blocks make it easy to setup and understand. It was made so you don’t always need heavy IT resources and it can easily be maintained by the business users. The real-time updates are amazingly fast. The company is also great to work with and their support team are extremely responsive when problems arises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

Not having the ability to track revisions well. We can create copies of configurators and make sure that everyone is following the proper procedures in place with making changes to the configurators, but the tool doesn’t allow you to look back at all the revisions made to the configurators or be able to revert back to previous versions. So, you have to be really careful about saving and communicating when you are working on the configurators with your peers to avoid any issues with saving over each other’s work. On the plus side, you have the three environments to work with. Dev, Test and Prod. As long as you don’t deploy the bad copy to your production site, you should be ok. Copy and pasting between configurators could also be improved. The other is not having enough documentation or tutorials (video) available. Although, they are constantly adding to their wiki page, it’s very limited today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Streamlined our Lead to Order process by focusing our sales team on the selling process and not as engineers. This provides a standardized selection process, error free orders, and an integration into our CRM/ERP solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
