What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

Three things made this product stand out in our selection process. The first was the it was very flexible and could accommodate complicated logic and still present a simple and understandable interface to the end users. The second was the simplicity of the back end programming. While none of the products we evaluated were plug and play or easy to maintain, the programming interface provided by KBMax CPQ was largely drag and drop logic with a little bit of programming required. It was simple enough that our product engineers could understand it with minimal training and they could get a comfort level with it within a few days of starting to use it. This allowed us to distribute the basic setup and ongoing support across multiple people rather than relying on a single administrator. Last but not least, the technical support we received in the sales stage was much better than any other product we evaluated and it stayed at a very high level after the purchase. Easy access, competent programmers with engineering backgrounds, and regular sessions with project management kept the project on point and moving along well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

It would be nice to see the programming simplified even a bit more but, as I noted elsewhere, this programming interface was by far the most intuitive and easy to learn of approximately 8-10 products we evaluated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

Define as much as possible about your business processes and product up front as possible. We went to great pains to do this and the results were much better than had we not done so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We sought to solve a number of business issues with a CPQ product and KBMax was able to address them all. One issue was controlling the selling price and discounting approvals worldwide. Another was having a uniform proposal format that would give consistency of appearance while also having flexibility to accommodate exceptions based on territory, language, currency, and individual subsidiary and distributor agreements. We sought to minimize the training time and prevent mistakes among new sales staff when selling a highly configured product. The final benefit we sought was to minimize the involvement of our product engineers in the configuration and sales order processing cycle in order to speed up the cycle time as well as free them up for more technically useful roles.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

The flexibility and agility of the tool (rules and configuration options), once you know what you want in general it is really fast to have it implemented. And specially the consumer centricity and agility of the support team here in EU, always willing to make it happen and delivering the product even with tight schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

In terms of the product: when it comes to the configurator itself, fields, rules and the 3D scene for me it is really good, now the "output file" is a bit cumbersome (formatting), input files are not really easy to manage and we couldn`t find a great solution for when the configurator is updated.

In terms of support: whenever a CPQ is needed to fix/adjust something we go to weeks or months of waiting, luckily nothing was a blocker for us up to now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Epicor CPQ?

They have a great team that will work with you to accomplish your goals. They accept customer feedback, and are efficient at closing the loop, developing the software to fit each customer individually but without losing sight of the overall product. The software itself is a quick study, allowing you to build just about anything you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Epicor CPQ?

When working with multiple configurators the deployment process requires some work arounds and extra communication to implement and maintain projects effectively. Communication is key no matter what the software provides but I think some enhancements to the deployment process would greatly ease the process for the team to effectively maintain and deploy configurator projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Epicor CPQ:

Transparency is key during an evaluation. Ensure you trial and evaluate the full extent of your requirements with all the vendors you are considering. Where other vendors fell short was when they relied on a screenshot or by telling us they could do something, while KBMax actually showed us a working product that we could put our hands on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Automating CAD models and drawings for engineering, reducing wait times and handoffs between engineering groups and decreasing drawing lead times to sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
