High-level entry for administration of the software (TCStudio, Administration Panel, Creating templates - Docgen). The documentation for the API and other technical aspects, should be more explained.

What do you like best about Tacton CPQ?

The way to specify configuration models is very elegant and powerful in the sense that simple models can control very complex configurations. Although constraint rules is a significant part of it, it is more than that. It is the entire concept of how to build products through the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tacton CPQ?

When used through Tacton CPQ, there are significant user interface and reporting limitations. Also, more than an actual dislike, is the fact that it is not trivial to understand the way the software works. Its elegance resides in the the particular way it works, which I have found challenging for people to understand at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tacton CPQ:

It is critical that you have an experienced partner doing the core of the first implementation. You need to have a very fluid discussion with the implementation partner as it won't be easy for you to grasp at first the details of the model being developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tacton is allowing us to elevate the conversation our salespeople have with customers and prospects. It allows or reps to spend more time on the business issues than on the technical details of the configuration. It also helps us speed up the process of producing quotes, reduce mistakes in the ordering process and significantly reduce the level of effort in the audit processes we have in place to prevent those issues.

What do you like best about Tacton CPQ?

We were able to train 40 trend setters in our organization how to make their own minimum configurator. When the business understood a concept, it was already hot.

Currently CPQ is intended more for CTO companies. There is tremendous need on market for customisation and ETO processes.
