Each module was built in silos (CPQ, CLM, BRR)

Great source to manage your Quote to order to cash (CPQ)

wow. it was awesome and great tool that i have been using for configuring prices AND quoting to vendors selections which is good for integration too. this is really great out sourcing tool for netsuite.

Apttus is our platform for the future!

My experience with Apttus has been excellent! I have worked closely with Apttus Professional Services to implement a custom solution that meets the needs of our very complex environment and they have done a great job teaming with us to build a platform that will help us move into the future. Pros Intuitive Responsive Configurable Powerful pricing Integration Force.com native/Reporting Apttus Professional Services is the best! Cons Required some customization to fully meet our needs, which is understandable given our environment

Apttus gives total control and freedom to create and customize a CPQ solution quite quick and easy.

The best part of Apttus is it has all the CPQ business logic built in to meet different scenarios for different clients. A month of training session would be enought to switch to Apttus. Very good developer guide, easy to follow and in-depth explanations are available. Community and partner portal is cool. Responsible point of contacts are assigned by Apttus. The only limitation i see is the limitation due to the governor limits of the platform on which Apttus is developed. Over all it is simple, easy to learn and use.

Good product, less functionality than we were hoping for

Apttus CPQ has a lot of functionality - but not always where we need it. Where we are finding the gap is in pricing. Each customer has to have their own price list and with the number of customers with specific pricing, we are looking at a lot of price lists to maintain. Otherwise, the functionality is great!

Pros

love the visibility from Opp to quote to agreement

Cons

Pricing limitations

Great Software but complicated setup.

This software works great and is native in Salesforce. However it is complicated to setup. I would prefer not to have to write custom charge criteria or to have to write custom Apex call back code. But it does offer a wide flexibility and they have some great features coming in the next releases. It is worth checking this software out for sure.

Contract Management solutions

Pros

Core business user groups are very keen on proposal and quoting features.

Cons

However, administration can be tedious and customizing is difficult.

A great CPQ tool built natively in Salesforce

Apttus CPQ is a wonderful tool which handles all the aspects of the CPQ seamlessly. The best part we liked was that it was native within Salesforce and not as a standalone application on another site. It was easily customizable and setting it up was quick and painless. As any third party software, it didn't fit exactly to our process and we had to change our process to fit the application, but not too much though. Overall a great tool to have in your Salesforce belt.

Can't handle our customization.

Pros

The idea of Configure Price Quote in salesforce is what brought our attention to Apttus in the first place.

Cons

We were promised so many things, yet in the end were told we have too much customization and difficult pricing process.

Must have product

We are really getting our teeth into the process and the advantages of the Apttus CPQ We are yet to find any cons as in early stages but the functionality so far is really flexible for our business needs

Apttus CPQ review

I enjoy the UI, once you learn the software behaviors. Our Sales Team uses to pick products and create quotes for external customers.

Good product for quotation prcoess

The company is committed to modify and upgrade the product joining the customer journey and in different divisions across the globe

Full of features and easy to use

I really like using it everyday and being able easily get my contracts out to my manager and to the customer so quickly.

Improves sales process and quoting experience in whole better way

loved their machine learning capability on top of their quote to cash solutions. Also x author products makes user taks very easy.

Apttus CPQ is great

Apttus CPQ covers all cases that we ever needed. Their support and services organization is exceptional.

Like Optiv, but we need more.

Pros

Its integration with Salesforce is its finest attribute. I can finally map Account and Opportunity objects!

Cons

Not enough options for customization allowed on existing templates (ie editing or changing names, creating custom buttons, etc).
