What do you like best about Tacton CPQ?

This configurator is a very user friendly configurator. We need not to learn any special coding/language to write the programs in Tacton. It is very helpful for solving the rule based problems very quickly.

It is also very easy to integrate with external calculation programs like MathCAD, STAAD, Fortran, etc, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tacton CPQ?

The configurator can be improved in iterative calculations like goal seek function and loop calculations.

Even though we can do this in the current version using JavaScript, it would be nice to have this feature in Tacton function itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Initially we started using this configurator for Proposal purposes, later we have expanded the configurator for doing the order work as well. Now we are using the CPQ version to do the complete end to end solution to support the CTO (configure to order) process.

It really helped us in saving lot of lead time in proposal generation and in order processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tacton CPQ?

Though with the Tacton DOCGEN, the proposal can be customized as you like, its very complex to understand the huge list of Tags provided. There should be an easy way to customize the Document templates than using the Tags. Also, Migration from older system to Tacton CPQ doesn't have best practice.

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

We have a highly customized version of TCsite and are looking to switch to CPQ but we were told there will not be any customization available with this product.

Not sure if what I dislike is "Tacton´s fault". Maybe it´s our low level of IT capabilities ?!

What do you like best about Tacton CPQ?

Admin Ticketing system, importing tickets from other and patching

The system is very flexible and can add documents and change attributes that need to be linked and important to the business and other system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tacton CPQ?

When tickets are open, they essentially are not "checked out" so that 2 people may end up working on the same model or same document, but there could be a crossover between the 2.

There is no prevention stopping you from doing this, someone always has to keep an eye and manage the system releases

Data to pull out of the system with Standard API's are not always available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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