What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

What I like the most about Hive CPQ is the fact that the software is easy to use. Together with a consultant you get to know the software in the beginning. After a couple of hours using the software you'll find out that it's actually pretty easy to use. Besides that, you can bulk import changes. This saves a great amount of time.

The process and onboarding of the Hive team went great as well. Kind employees and if you have any feedback they get on it quickly. I would and already did recommend HiveCPQ to other manufacturers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

I don't dislike anything about HiveCPQ. I just started with adding new products to our configurator and right now all is going as planned. Our distributors are starting to use the system and we get a lot of complements from them. The software is almost without any code and a lot you can change yourself. I hope that in the future the main system will get adjustable as well. So I can change some questions in the ordering step of the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

An easy to use and visually attractive configurator for our distributors. I hope Hive will solve the problem that we can get rid of ECON and we'll get a fluent integration with our new ERP-system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Pauline Van Daele of Hive CPQ

Thank you for the very nice review, Frank! We're looking forward to see your project come to live now that your distributors are being onboarded. We'll take your feedback about the main system into account.

What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

HIVE CPQ has significantly accelerated the creation of our quotes; going from 1 hour to 5 minutes. The user-friendly interface allows us to quickly assemble complex configurations from multiple manufacturers without having to juggle multiple documents. This now allows our salespeople to devote more time to our customers. And finally as an administrator, I really like the fact of having total control over the configurators which allows me to make changes in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

No big problem to report but : A small PDF notice for ordinary users could be useful. And it would really be useful to have a library of quote models because for the moment you have to start from scratch (or from an existing base in your own company). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Generating quotes with products from multiple manufacturers is the main problem we had. HiveCPQ also allowed us to standardize our customization options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

HiveCPQ allows our users to configure a complex product that without the proper training or experience on the product would be difficult to quote.

Providing our users with the flexibility to quote many different configurations that would fit there budget or requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

I like everything about HiveCPQ, but the system is only as good as the feedback provided by the users. The Hive team is always open to new ideas, and challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allowing our users to have on-demand information. Many things have changed other the last 15 years, and having the ability to stand in front of an end-user and provide a live quote is a requirement that our customers expect in today's market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

The platform's capability to handle complex project settings that functions as high level settings for all underlying configurations was a unique feature that helped us a lot in the set-up for our kind of orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

There's not much to dislike. All the requests we had that were missing in the beginning are being handled or are already fixed in the recent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive CPQ:

The best asset of HiveCPQ is the team of knowledgeable configuration wizards that want to help your company in rethinking your sales process to offer the best user experience during the sales process and the parametric 3D visualizations they can custom make for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were working with 3,5 full time employees to process orders before starting with HiveCPQ. We are now in the testing phase but it looks like we will be able to process more and more accurate in a shorter time with the same people or even less.

The biggest advantage is that our employees who have a lot of product knowledge and also do the pre-production preparations, now have more time to focus on more inspiring work instead of "brainless" order entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

HiveCPQ is a true partner when it comes to defining a workflow that suits the needs of a particular customer. With a very personal approach, HiveCPQ helped us to define the best possible customer journey for our customers.

They have built up a lot of knowledge in the area of B2B eCommerce platforms and they use that knowledge to bring new insights.

In addition to the good cooperation, the Hive product configurator is a handy and straightforward tool that is regularly updated with new features. The great technical expertise of the HiveCPQ employees and the support are definitely a big plus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

I honestly cannot think of a single downside to HiveCPQ. I can only recommend partnering with HiveCPQ, as both their product and the entire team are excellent assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

HiveCPQ provides a B2B eCommerce platform, which makes the life of our customers a whole lot easier. The Hive product configurator is simple and straightforward, meaning that our customers require less training than they before we partnered up with Hive. Our customers gain time and efficiency, which makes them more profitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

Hive CPQ has a very professional and dedicated team, they are quick to help out when support is needed. The platform is regularly updated with new features and issues are quickly addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

While HiveCPQ works great on computers, the interface is less suited for smaller screens (e.g. smartphones/tablets). There is not enough information on the screen, so you need to scroll a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Previously, we used a website that was developed in-house for our dealers to create quotes. HiveCPQ is maintained by a dedicated team, so it frees up resources at our company. It receives regular security updates and is updated to use recent technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive CPQ?

The support of Hive CPQ and willingness to think along to configure our products in the best possible way. Also, the connection with our ERP system has been set up in a great way so when we change data in our ERP system then it will communicate directly with the Hive CPQ platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive CPQ?

We are not 100% flexible to make the platform as we would like but it is very intuitive and the screen layouts are very clear.

Because Hive CPQ has been growing rapidly lately, it is important to allow the organization to grow in all facets with it and that is a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We don't have the possibility ourselves to sell our products in such a similar way, so by collaborating with Hive CPQ we can benefit to sell our products secure and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Pauline Van Daele of Hive CPQ

Thank you for the feedback! It's awesome to hear that Hive CPQ gives you the opportunity to sell your products fast and efficiently. We are aware of the fact that our solution is not 100% flexible for our customers - that's why we've been working very hard on some additional modules that give users the chance to manage the configurator themselves. This will make Hive a lot more flexible and user-friendly. So stay tuned, improvements are on the way! :)
